I've not read the book, but I've often wondered if things would have been that different without Romero.
Maybe in the beginning he was a driving force but I speculate something changed. Be it something with him, technology changes, or whatever but he later did not seem to have as big an impact.
I met Romero back during the beginning of the Ion Storm days and based on that short chat with him I was convinced that Ion Storm would succeed. Sadly it did not. Granted, Ion Storm did turn out some of the best games ever made but not the one that Romero made.
