Fans have not only started the call for “Justice for Mick” but have also made many memes and expressed their concerns for what Mick Gordon is going through. Some posts have stood out with massive upvotes, talking about how Mick Gordon deserves the music awards that Doom Eternal’s soundtrack won.
It was previously believed that Mick Gordon has a big hand in the soundtrack and therefore gets to keep them. Still, according to Mick, “I was invited to perform at the Game Awards, but other than that, Id Software never invited me to collect awards in person. Marty invited himself to collect the awards on my behalf instead. It would mean a lot to have a memento of all the hard work I poured into the DOOM franchise, but as it currently stands, I doubt I’ll ever see those awards again.”
