The composer of Doom Eternal has accused Id Software studio director Marty Stratton of lying about his part in the failure of the game's official soundtrack, and offering him hush money to stay quiet about the situation

Showcase, in which it announced the Collector’s Edition of Doom Eternal, which would include “Mick Gordon’s original Doom Eternal soundtrack”.

According to him, this meant they used 4 hours and 46 minutes of his music, but only paid him for 2 hours 22 minutes, leaving 2 hours 24 minutes unpaid. Gordon says he interpreted this as a threat that he would be legally liable for any loss suffered by Id Software if the OST was late. “I shot back that their rapidly crunching schedule and imminent deadline meant it was too late for a change in direction and that I’d prefer to use the little time remaining to work on the music rather than entertain his sudden last-minute interest in the OST,” Gordon says.

Gordon claims that he had a Skype chat with Stratton following the release of the OST to share his concerns. Instead, according to Gordon, Stratton proceeded to post the ‘open letter’ on Reddit in which he blamed Gordon for the poor quality of the OST.

And you know what? I believe him.

If Mick rejected the hush money, can we assume that this will be terrible for Bethesda?

It's not an accusation as he as provided irrefutable proof in the form of email screenshots. You should probably amend that title.
