Romero posted a Facebook status saying "Now let's get a deal done. - at Square Enix." What could this mean? Daikatana 2? More social games for Enix? Duders, help me speculate!

John Romero and his studio Loot Drop also made a deal with Ubisoft last year when he made Ghost Recon Commander for Facebook so good chance it will be a similar deal with SE to make a social media game with one of their IP.

IMO if you are responsible for the invention of an entire genre in gaming, you get a lifetime pass - even if you also made Daikatana.

Wasn't that Wolfenstein 3d? But yeah, he worked on that one too.

@jozzy: @cmblasko: @mikkaq: That is a fair point. He did pioneer an entire genre. Guess I am just not huge on that genre or the doom games so to me he is hardly one of the greats.
