I took your comment of "apologists" to mean those who were apologizing for id's not having included multiplayer in this re-release because it wasn't needed due to the mod community's efforts. And, my point is that those apologists are right. id has given plenty of free Doom to PC gamers. It doesn't need to give us any more. We have all of the multiplayer Doom we need.

But, it smells more like a Bethesda/Zenimax corporate move to squeeze some money out of id's games since Rage sold poorly than a move by id. I'm only defending id for not including multiplayer on the PC version because we've already got that thanks to the earlier gift of the source code.
It's exactly 'those who are apologizing for iD' that bugs me.

Who said I was talking about iD?
So, who were you actually talking about if not that?
Beamer wrote on Sep 5, 2012, 19:50:I never said it was free. You continue to ignore the last half of my post. Read my first post again. See where I wrote, "All of these games can also still be purchased on the PC inexpensively through digital distribution". I explicitly stated that the games were still for sale as one of the reasons why this re-release is not needed.
The point is they're still selling it. It isn't free,
They're not selling something free.No, they are repackaging their existing games and trying to pass them off to PC gamers as something new and improved when they are inferior to what already exists thanks to the source code release and the mod community. That is my point and what I tried to convey in the full text of my original post.
Freedoom is a fan made wad that uses all original content.Freedoom is replacement wad set for Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 that would best be described as a "Doom-compatible" experience. It is designed to be used with Doom source ports to make them stand-alone games that are compatible with existing Doom 1 & 2 mods. In essence it is a legally free version of Doom 1 & 2.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only the engine went open source. The actual gameplay did not. So, while you can download the source code, you still need to purchase the .wad to play.In fact, Doom II, Final Doom and Ultimate Doom are $20 each from id.or for much less in a Steam bundle or similar sale
The id bundle during every Steam sale always includes these games.

The PC market is already well-served with versions of classic Doom that have Internet functionality as every major source port for the game has it. id doesn't need to waste its time recreating the wheel by making another one. It's already given the PC enough classic Doom to last a lifetime.
Man the amount of fucking apologists on this site is sickening.

I was really looking forward to playing the updated DOOM 3 in CO-OP with a couple of XBox 360's.
