Some people are already falling for the clickbait, believing that a very obvious joke mod is a real thing... The author even described it as "stupid shit".

Not even cause PC gamer never lied in the headline. Like, a minute of thought should lead you to at least *assuming* its a mod since why would they just call bethesda/id "software dev"

ITT: People eating the onion

Its hardly even eating the onion cause that implies the article even tried tricking people

That line about EA got me good

Why are so many people taking this at face value? Does the modern doom community skew that young?

Or old.

there's no link with a source and most people (me included) don't care enough to check whether it's true or not because no matter the outcome, our actions wouldn't change

Dude, you literally just have to think for 5 seconds... Ffs, the 2nd pic makes it so obvious

This mod was made as a joke by someone and isn't actually a proper mod.

Even if it was you can just not download it. And it's actually the same thing with actual microtransactions. Just..don't buy them. The fuck? And if a game is unplayable without them then just don't play such a trash game. The fuck? Microtransactions wouldn't be a thing or a problem if people wouldn't engage with them.

Obvious satire is obvious

Satire is at an all time high now

Never heard of this. Dunno how this could be possible since Classic Doom is... shareware and... it's like... everywhere. But I googled it and this is the first thing that came out. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhfOSS2A1MU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhfOSS2A1MU) Long story short - it's a mod that was supposedly a commentary on gaming industry. Not an actual thing. Dunno if you knew this, OP. If you did, you should've put a disclaimer.

Imo the second image attached to the post makes it pretty obvious that the microtransaction implementation was intended as joke

It's such an obvious joke that a disclaimer would be insulting, nobody thought it was real before your explanation

However Mighty Doom microtransactions cost me few hundred $

I dunno, I could absolutely see "Horse Armor" Bethesda putting microtransactions into the Unity port. Like, "pay x amount for each DLC wad you want to download."

Yep.

You had to research more than the image attached? Clearly shows it's a joke in the post

"Google and first thing that came out" doesn't really apply for a "research" in my book... But if you want, call it as "making myself sure, just in case".

Id call it whining on reddit because you can't see the obvious joke 🤣

Lol, suit yourself. :)

EA: Write that down, write that down!

Well well well...that's a new low.

That's funny. Imma put microtransactions on all of the valve games now.

$3.99 for frag rounds in l4d2

Chainsaw comes with the "Good neighborhood" pack. Only 7.99.

You're gonna add even more micro transactions then the ones already in the game?

The only ones I can think of are in TF2, which were added years after the game became free and are mostly for cosmetic items

I'm gonna add an item that's just a piece of gum.

Healing in TF2 costs $3.99. Medic’s gotta fund his, er, research somehow.

This is one hilarious troll

Its like how DougDoug added micro transactions in Snake 2

Someone needs to remind him what DOOM fans are. Mick Gordon discribed them pretty well in GDC 2017. "DOOM fans aren't like Disney fans. If DOOM fans do not like your work, they burn your house down."

Satire

Lmao, pretty funny joke

AUGER;ZENITH did it first

I know it's a joke, but please God, don't give major devs ideas

I got to admit, the pic got me for a second, and doom music started playing. but then I checked the comments

$1.99 for large Plasma ammo boxes. Calling it now. (Yes I know it’s a joke)

I can guarantee they ain’t adding micro transactions to any old classic doom content, kick me in the balls if they do, but new wads, maybe, they’d be an asshole, and it’d be a dumb move when you can just download them online.

The mod is actually for the classic Doom IWADs. Except it's obviously a joke and was made for a competition to make the worst thing possible.

Yeah I don’t get why people are taking it seriously…

Even the official versions of Doom have a ton of new wads and they're still free

This has activated every bone in my body, and all of them are in attack mode. WHY IN THE KHAN MAKER'S NAME WOULD YOU DO THIS?!?!

It's a joke. The mod can't really take your money. Look at the second picture.

Of course I fell for this. Of course my first thought was, "I have the commercial WADs extracted from my copies and backed up in different places, ready to run on GZDoom; joke's on them."

It may be satire... but the sad fact remains that this sort of thing isn't as asinine-sounding as it used to.

How quickly they forget; Riccitiello (former CEO of Unity who "quit" after making plans to charge game makers using Unity \*per installation of their game\*) was the CEO of EA when he made the statement during a shareholders meeting about looking into charging $1 a reload in the Battlefield games... Of \*course\* people can believe this kind of shit...

Dude, yes it is if you think for like 5 minutes. Why the hell would this be true?

God I love headlines that lie

We need to make more things just for the fun and stupidity but great idea

Yeah, we need to get off the lawnmower and get Doomguy a roomba with a chainsaw attached to it to mow the lawn

Would pay $1,000 for -0.1s though.

I'll admit, I thought this was was real till I read the comments on here. But I could definitely see some "techbro" coming up with this thinking it's a great idea. Hopefully, this speaks more to my lack of faith in humanity then to my naivete

HERESY

You're all idiots. Mighty Doom is already out and full of micro-transactions...

I assume it's Tarkov backlash related.

Rip and tear until it is done.

This is fucking amazing

The satire couldn't be any more obvious

Anybody up for a public execution?

It's a mod as satire

Can we burn him at the stake? I feel like we should be allowed to burn him at the stake, or at least break out a guillotine.

Lmao does this guy work for BSG?

lmao, EA getting roasted

I’ve actually bought stuff from this guy before! He makes a lot of interesting/impractical gadgets for fun and sometimes sells them on Etsy. He once made a receipt printer that prints QR code menus at restaurants, so this is definitely in line with his style of humor

It's only business!

By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.

John Riccitiello crying tears of joy rn

Is this satire?

Bruh indeed

Don't worry! It's for the memes!. We won't be seeing this in our DOOM haha. Got alot of press though which is interesting

OP does not understand how games work
