Burger Bill (as this person was known back then) is mentioned in 'Masters of Doom' as offering to do the Wolfenstein 3D port to SNES for id, then revealing (after months went by) that they were still under contract at Interplay, and everything they did would be owned by Interplay. Everyone at id was furious they had to drop working on DOOM and hack on SNES Wolfenstein instead, to the point they had an icon of BB on the wall to throw knives at: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,450432,00.html

Interestingly, they obviously got over it as BB was used for 3DO DOOM.
