Ion Storms

Last week I ran a story about John Romero's status with Ion Storm. There were a couple of carefully worded responses out there but considering the responses were just about as vague as the news we didnt really figure much out. Well here's the deal, broken down into little indents just because I feel like using them today.

- (Fairly Certain) Mark Dochterman and Ron Dimant formerly of Ritual and MumboJumbo (Myth3 guys) are being brought in to Ion Storm at the request of Eidos, to "evaluate" the situation at Ion. Possibly (?) Staying on with them. - (Kinda Certain) Romero as of now is still at Ion Storm, what his position there is or will be is still up in the air. - (Kinda Certain) Eidos has been rejecting recent design doc submissions. - (Probably False) A vague rumor of Romero talking with Epic about a license outside of Ion came up but I couldnt track that one down.

What does all this mean? Not really sure. Is it true? Well I'll go ahead and put a disclaimer here that none of these details have been confirmed or made official and could all be false. However when I contacted parties involved in this they were quite a bit more tight lipped than usual.
