Former id employee and famed big mouth John Romero has called Zenimax’s acquisition of id Software ‘disgusting’, reports Kotaku.

The famed developer, currently at Slipgate Ironworks, twittered ‘ZENIMAX???????? Disgusting.’ upon hearing the news.

He then followed up several hours later saying, ‘I guess I was shocked and sad to see the id Software of old changed forever today. It’s a new day and a new id.’

In the press release announcing the acquisition, however, John Carmack said: "No changes will be made in the operations of id Software in the development of its games."
