Doom-Entwickler, darunter John Romero, antworten auf den todkranken Fan „Wanderingreader“, der seine letzten Tage mit Doom: The Dark Ages verbringt: „Du bist nicht allein in diesem Krankenzimmer“: „Du bist der Inbegriff von Tapferkeit und Mut. Du bist der Grund, warum DOOM existiert.“

Romero had his arrogance in the past (Daikatana era), but I’ve really been looking forward to his next project. This is a nice gesture
The hospital’s line item for the PS5 will be $20k.
“Remember, you spent your money on us.”
So heartwarming…
This is how creators should treat their audience with humility and genuine care. Huge respect to the devs for this.
Seems like many terminally ill kids gravitate to video games. It probably gives them a sense of control and predictability they crave and can’t find. Victories over well defined adversity.
🙁
