It was supposed to come with essasys from John Carmack and American McGee, but an “unnamed publisher” didn’t seem to like the idea…

When the listing for the recordwent up yesterday, a cheeky note said that it was supposed to come with essays from former Id Software devs John Carmack and American McGee. Alas, an “unnamed video game publisher made it impossible to include this in the package”. I wonder who it could be?

The note about this mystery publisher is, unsurprisingly, no longer on the listing. But not much gets past the ever-watchful eyes of Alice O, who managed to catch this screenshot before it was removed:

Unfortunately, the first link just redirects to the Nine Inch Nails homepage Fortunately,Wayback Machine exists. The second link is still good though, and will take you to a lovely PDF with the essays on.

If you fancy yourself the Quake vinyl, it’s available to buy onthe Nine Inch Nails storefor £40.
