John Romero & Ion Storm

To continue the craziness today here is something for you guys. I've heard from a couple of reliable sources that John Romero's status at Ion Storm may be changing. It is not known what this could mean exactly, it could be anything from a simple changing of his official title at the company to him changing projects or him not being there completely. As of last night though I have confirmed that He was still in the offices at Ion Storm. I've attempted to contact people at Ion Storm and Eidos about this matter for a few hours since early this morning now but nobody wishes to confirm or deny this. Considering how tight lipped everyone is about this though and the fact that they wont deny it completely one can probably assume something is amiss. I'll keep you guys updated with anything that I can dig up. Here's the latest no comment I've gotten from an Eidos rep:

No, we don't confirm or discuss rumours. Frankly, we've heard so many now, we would put up our own rumour website - if only there was any money in it.
