I read the book Masters of Doom a few years ago and they did a good job portraying them as creative rivals with clashing personalities.

I don't know if they've reconciled in recent years and I've never heard about Romero working at a gas station. Any source for that?

Literally the last thing Masters of Doom talks about is how Carmack and Romero are still friends. Maybe not best buddies - they have completely different personalities - but I don't think there's much animosity between them.

There's no basis for the claim he's working at a gas station. He runs a game development company in Ireland.

gas station is bit of a troll comment, but this picture of Romero loves to get spread: i.imgur.com/qD7Jr.png
