If Mick's account is to be believed then he has definitely been treated poorly and Marty sounds like the client from hell (and summoning an internet mob is awful behaviour). However, I couldn't help feel when reading it that he was consistently naive in not looking out for himself, which is surprising for someone with experience. He had already worked with the same company, already experienced pay issues, already knew the planned deliverables were nonsensical, worked months without pay, took on additional project without a contract, then signed a contract without reviewing it with a professional, didn't escalate to higher powers sooner, etc. None of this is easy and can cause stress, but they're standard problems that all freelancers have to deal with. Part of being a freelancer is getting paid more to deal with these bad bits. It's not for everyone, including me. |

He was obviously very keen to continue being associated with the franchise, either out of love or professional interest. Waiting 2 years in silence while a counterpart slandered him on the web and lawyers played hide and seek, shows a lot of patience; continuing to propose to work on the OST project, even after all this, seems to indicate he really cared about it.
Love can blind us all.
