Login Wasn’t Intended To Be Necessary For Doom Ports According To Bethesda

Guess we can blame it on ol’ Fumbles.

So, I kinda glossed over it, but there was one major flaw with the DOOM ports. Namely, that they apparently required a Bethesda.net account to even play them. This afflicted DOOM and DOOM II, specifically; DOOM 3‘s sign-in could be skipped. Which was apparently how this was intended to work by Bethesda; they weren’t supposed to be mandatory sign-ins. The sign-in was meant fr members of the Slayers Club, and was meant t be skippable similar to DOOM 3‘s.

Update on our new classic DOOM releases:

The BethesdaNet login requirement was included for the Slayers Club, to reward members for playing the classic DOOM games.

The login should be optional, and we are working on changing the requirement to optional now.

We will update everyone when a fix is ready.

Well, take solace in the fact that the issue should soon be remedied. And also in the memes this whole thing spawned. Because they’re glorious.
