Doom (2016) just launched on GOG, and it's on offer. I purchased straight away as I really enjoyed this one. Wasn't expecting to see more Bethesda games on GOG after Microsoft purchases Zenimax.

I don't think the setup for Doom 16 would be particularly doable over LAN without rebuilding the game or giving you the server code. Servers are doing a LOT of work in this.

Cool, then give me the server code to run it myself.

Give me all of the game's code, like they have done with older DOOM entries.

I meant binaries. Open source would be great, but it's a tough sell for some reason, even though Doom's been open source for decades and still sells copies to this day.

Sure! I mean, why not? Hell, release the game DRM free in the first place on all platforms, huh? Why did we have to wait a decade and buy it twice before we could get the DRM version of any part of it, after all?

But you weren't complaining about it yesterday and you're way closer to the right outcome today. I would much rather have a DRM free version of some part of that game than not.
