It was all hilarious and in good fun, and surprisingly, it appears to have worked. Meanwhile, the rest of the internet went about the proper business of turning the whole situation into a meme, by imaging other classic games that might also require Bethesda Net accounts in order to play. We readily (and happily!) blamed this bizarre occurrence on capitalism.
This wasn’t much of an issue for the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One ports, but it meant that Nintendo Switch owners wouldn’t be able to slay the hordes of hell on the move. For reasons that were unclear at the time, Doom and Doom 2 were altered from their original 90s forms to require a Bethesda Net login, which meant that an internet connection was required to play. “The login should be optional, and we are working on changing the requirement to optional now.” Bethesda gave no clue as to when the issue might be resolved, saying only that it “will update everyone when a fix is ready.”īethesda surprised Quakecon 2019 attendees last Friday by announcing that Doom, Doom 2, and Doom 3 were all available on modern consoles for the first time. “The BethesdaNet login requirement was included for the Slayers Club, to reward members for playing the classic DOOM games,” Bethesda said in a tweet.
Bethesda is rescinding the internet connectivity requirement built in to its recent ports of Doom and Doom 2 on the Nintendo Switch, the publisher announced over the weekend.
