To celebrate DOOM?s 25th anniversary, Bethesda Softworks and id Software unleashed quite the surprise during QuakeCon 2019. The original DOOM, DOOM 2, and DOOM 3 are all available on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. Unfortunately, the hype was undercut by the realization that DRM practices were at work. To enjoy the classic titles, players needed to log into or create a Bethesda.Net account, meaning each of the ports require an alway-online connection. According to the publisher, this isn?t what was initially intended and will soon be rectified.
Bethesda addressed the controversy on its official Twitter account, explaining that the login was meant as an option for Slayers Club members. Those who participate in the DOOM fan club were to receive special rewards for playing the three classic games. Though the publisher didn?t detail exactly what went wrong, the post did promise the online requirement will be removed.
