- Rockstar New England was founded as Mad Doc Software by Ian Lane Davis. I know you give the date later, but I think a "in 1999" would be good here. It sounds strange leaving the "when" out.
- Would it be a dealbreaker if I left this unchanged? As with the other Rockstar studio articles, I use this introduction primarily to tell the reader why I'm even talking about Davis and Mad Doc Software. The foundation date, November 1999, is mentioned a few sentences later in the same paragraph and it feels a bit redundant to me to name it twice. IceWelder [✉] 11:47, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- where he was the technical director from 1996 to 1999 The technical director or a technical director. Same issue in the lead too. For a company as large as Activision, I wouldn't think he would be the only one in the company...right? Also if he had noteworthy game contributions, would be cool to list a few of the games he worked on.
- defunct Looking Glass Studios It might be worth mentioning that LGS was based in Cambridge MA, so as to help the reader understand the reason they merged was probably because of location rather than another arbitrary reason (I'm originally from this area, so I also find this stuff interesting)
- which was announced in February 2007 I'm not sure if the announcement date matters. Seeing as the game came out in November that same year, it's fair to presume it was under development for some time before then.
- When Rockstar bought Mad Doc, did Davis leave the company, or what became of his role at that point? He isn't mentioned after that part of the article.
- the single-player component of Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory until it was canceled in February 2003 This, and listing the game under the "Canceled" section, is a little misleading. Wolf ET was released, but only the multiplayer component. The way the article is written makes it sound like the game never game out.
Well-researched comprehensive article on the subject. Good job! TarkusABtalk/contrib 19:31, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
