Well, did he?

Wasn't this marketing's idea rather than coming from Romero?

Marketing people are the worst. Barely even human.

Romero claims that, but at the end of the day it's his name was attached to the ad, not id's marketing department.

this was post-id. he was working at his new studio and the publisher, eidos, would be the one responsible for ads.

is the phrase 'suck it down' still trademarked?

If you're a zoomer playing it with the 1.3 patch that allows you to disable companions, maybe.
If you played the retail version that you got as a handmedown in 2002 to play on your spankin' new Windows XP PC like I first experienced it then you would've hated it
At least I got a Deus Ex copy from that same person, now THAT was based

Regardless of whose idea the ad is, it's pretty damn redundant.
At that point, everyone was already John Romero's bitch, he was part of the making of Doom. DOOM!

part of the reason this was so retarded is that no one (not even miyamoto) had name recognition back then anyway. game developer worship didnt even start til later. so the few people who actually knew who john romero was rolled their eyes more over that fact then the "bitch" thing.
