What did they do to Mick?
Bethesda took his unfinished music, re edited it, released an OST of it, refused to pay him, blamed it on him, and refused to talk to him.
In short.
In very short- they did a lot.of shit to him, treated him like garbage the entire way, and then at the very end they literally tried to bribe him into being the scapegoat for the backlash they intentionally caused.
It's interesting, how the game direction Hugo Martin tried to delay and sabotage him, the big reason he got the contract is he wrote to Bethesda higher ups directly, and as he did an exceptional ost for doom '16, they put him on the project.
Bethesda does a lot of questionable things, but this was probably their best decision.
Also hope his next project will be hassle free.

Idk how involved he was with it, but I heard he contributed to atomic hearts music (this is when I decided to look it up, so expect to read an update below this in an edit soon, unless I get distracted)
Edit: there were 3 composers for the OST, he was one of them.
I was just reading about this last night, coincidentally: https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce#4c95
Essentially fucked him out of royalties.
BFG Division is one of my favourites
I couldn't choose so I simply decided on space matters.
I was gonna say this as well. BFG Division ftw.
I want Mick Gordon to compose the soundtrack for my life plz
No thank you. I need to sleep at some point.
Blast beat me away to sleep
I have slept to some portions of Doom music, he possibly can make your sleep seem epic 😂
When you walk into work on Monday morning and the beat starts pumping and guitar riffs are ramping up.
She should start normal, then go white-eyed when she hears it 😈
And let us not forget the Quake soundtrack by Trent Reznor
Its what made doom 2016 worth playing.
why run when you can fight

I heard this comment.
This is a top tier meme format for music communities. Making me need to dive into more game OSTs.
If anyone is on the hunt for good ones, Brad Derrick did some incredible work for Elder Scrolls Online. It's all fantasy sounds, but an excellent source of ambience for the TTRPG player. A two album set for the base game, and an album for each expansion. It's some 10 hours of solid work!
Quake OST by Nine Inch Nails >>>>
This isn't a "change my mind" post, either
If they had put that in Max's ears Vecna would have been dead and the Upside Down purged completely.
