Sorry to break it for you, but no one actually plays Doom anymore.

We made physical toys and games into something expensive for adults and kicked kids out of the equation.

Now all they have are videogames and the most affordable ones (the ones on PC) are soon to disappear.

Good luck killing off older games, though.

Older games will play via emulation on a damn phone. They'll practically play on a potato.

Might be playing Balatro and such rather than the latest iteration of AAA whatever, but I mostly play games closer to the former than the latter already.
