You don't get the end game was to client-server the big budget games which has happened. AKA diablo 1 + 2 we owned the game outright, not so with diablo 3 and overwatch.

Doom vs Doom eternal. Because the internet makes stealing software easy by holding back program files from the user.

Doom was the grandfather of modding on the Pc, in doom 2016, we got a gimped snapmap, and doom eternal is totally locked down. A far cry from the id software of the 90's.
