Talk about having essentially forgotten about it. I bet!
I suppose they only did it now due to some license agreement expiring?

doom and Wolfenstein are published by bethesda
TIL!
Edit to make @[email protected]’ comment make sense again:
I originally answered “definitely not the original ones!” ør something to that effect, but found that it might be needlessly combative, so I changed it to just TIL 😁
i assumed they were talking about the bethesda published reboots, what with them being significantly more popular than the earlier games
I mean, if someone says “Doom and Wolfenstein” without specifying “Doom Eternal” and “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW), I’m thinking of Id.
Dude! The original ones were cultural touchstones in a market that wasn’t yet oversaturated. They literally invented and defined the whole genre!
More people might be playing the new ones NOW, but the original ones were undoubtedly MUCH more popular in their time.
i mean sure, but that also doesnt matter to the point i was making
which is why most folks are probably not talking about the old games when they say they like wolfenstein and doom
I wouldn’t be so sure about that, what with the “It runs Doom” meme and the fact that most people on Lemmy seem to be old fucks like me who played them when they originally came out 😄
