The turbulence at ION Storm may be settling down. Founded in 1996 by "Doom" and "Quake" creator John Romero and other game-designing luminaries, ION has been plagued by infighting, leaked company e-mails, and defection of key game designers. On top of that, the first game ION released, "Dominion," was widely panned. Despite a $30 million advance from game publisher Eidos, ION's highly anticipated "Daikatana" took three years to release. It finally came out in May 2000 to disappointing reviews. However, ION's other new release, "Deus Ex," has fared much better. After a spate of bitter battles among ION's owners, those remaining through the storm include Romero, Tom Hall, and Warren Spector.
