As noted in some irate posts on the
Steam Users' Forums, the standalone edition of
DOOM 3 is no longer offered
on Steam and is difficult or impossible to find on other digital distributors, where the newer
DOOM 3: BFG Edition has taken its place. As noted on
Eurogamer, the problem is that users have not yet been able to get DOOM 3 mods to work with the BFG Edition of the first-person shooter sequel, leaving those interested in a mod-friendly edition of the five year-old game with limited options (they mention the Super id Software Pack, but this no longer seems to be available in the U.S., either). This does not mean all hope is lost, however, as they have the following quote from a Bethesda rep on the situation: "We do realize that there are fans that would like to purchase the original version of the game, and we're looking into options for them. When there's new info to share, we'll let everyone know."
