Is there even anybody left at id who was involved in Doom's development to justify the "Doom's Creator" in the title?
I had always assumed that id Software under ZeniMax is a completely different company, different people, different tech stack, different ethics. But as an outsider of course I don't know how much of this is true.
Doom is also the name of the franchise, not just the original game. And this franchise is still actively developed and maintained by ID Software. The latest incarnation is from last year. So technically the headline is not wrong.
And it seems with Kevin Cloud there is someone who worked on the original Doom 1, as also the latest incarnation Doom Eternal.
Bingo. This is borderline clickbait. Just another instance of a giant corporation shitting on ordinary people. The real creators of DOOM are long gone, and wouldn't give a shit about something like this. Corporations, and lawyers, are as always a plague upon this earth.
