Histoire
A mesmerizing, behind-the-scenes business thriller that chronicles how Sega, a small, scrappy gaming company led by an unlikely visionary and a team of rebels, took on the juggernaut Nintendo and revolutionized the video-game industry. In 1990, Nintendo had a virtual monopoly on the video-game industry. Sega, on the other hand, was just a faltering arcade company with big aspirations and even bigger personalities. But all that would change with the arrival of Tom Kalinske, a former Mattel executive who knew nothing about video games and everything about fighting uphill battles.

Description
Masters of Doom is the amazing true story of the Lennon and McCartney of video games: John Carmack and John Romero. Together, they ruled big business. They transformed popular culture. And they provoked a national controversy. More than anything, they lived a unique and rollicking American Dream, escaping the broken homes of their youth to produce the most notoriously successful game franchises in history - Doom and Quake - until the games they made tore them apart. This is a story of friendship and betrayal, commerce and artistry - a powerful and compassionate account of what it's like to be young, driven, and wildly creative.

A fantastic deep dive into id Software
I'm a life-long hardcore gamer and love hearing about the behind the scenes history of some of the medium's most storied developers. This book is a fantastic one of those. It goes into the origins, meteoric rise and ultimately, the internal fracturing of id Software, one of the industry's most successful and important studios.
While it's probably best appreciated by people into gaming and the business of it like I am, it's written such that anyone can listen to it and understand what's being discussed. It doesn't require you to be deep into gaming to get the gist of it, not at all. Much like other creative industries, gaming is full of ego and drama and this shows what can happen when you reach stardom quickly.
Wil Wheaton overall does a good job presenting it, though he makes several mispronunciations and outright mistakes in his reading that the producers didn't catch. Very minor though and doesn't detract in a significant way.
If you love the history of gaming or are just curious about it, this is one to listen to.

John Romero will make you his bitch...
I still remember being a snot nosed kid in the 90s playing doom. It was the start of my love affair with video games. They really were rock stars. Its a shame whats happening to the industry now with the triple A developers and publishers following trends and destroying any credibility they have with consumers with their shady practices. Publishers now suck all the creativity and force games out early all for the bottom line. It was eye opening to see how success and money change people in the industry. Well everyone except Carmack, that dude will be Carmack no matter what. Great narrator with a 90s vibe. Felt like i was there making the game with them.

Trip back in time.
I was there. Those games, that time. And a connection too. I know a skins designer that worked on those early games. I was hoping to hear Ken Scott’s name but didn’t materialize. The stuff he’s done since, is as legendary as the games he’s worked on.

Video game fans and makers, and anyone interested in entrepreneurship, business and entertainment will love this book.
I love these insider stories of the Wild West that was the young video game industry.
The book is also expertly narrated by the indomitable Wil Weaton, so my fellow nerds will rejoice in that :)

Wil Wheaton doing voices takes me out of it
Excellent book, my only complaint is that Wil Wheaton is not even close to being a passable voice actor. His character voices at certain points makes me want to commit not alive

Amazing
I've already read the book before and enjoyed it a lot so I decided to give a chance to this audio book, and it was amazing! Will Weathon made me forget that it was him who was reading the book and I imagined like it was the same Romero, Carmack and the other guys who made their own dialogues. This book was the reason I subscribed to audible and I'm very happy with what I listened. Totally recommended!
