Bethesda is Playing Fast and Loose With the ‘Doom’ Demo

Demons everywhere are outraged at Bethesda for not sticking to the initial deadline for the free Doom demo, which the publisher originally intended to have available for the duration of E3 week. That plan went ignored due to high demand, its once clearly defined start and end dates twisted into a sort of cruel joke that betrays the devastation inflicted upon those foul creatures for our amusement. Worse yet is the uncertainty our demon brothers and sisters will face as long as the demo remains live with nary a mention made regarding its new end date.

We need to ask ourselves if the war we now wage against the legions of Hell is worth the ecstasy that envelopes your body and soul as you use a rusty chainsaw to tear an Imp’s chest wide open even though you have more than enough ammunition. You don’t do it for the satisfying ammo explosion it brings, no, you do it so you can look into the screaming demon’s dumb ugly face and watch as the light leaves its wee beady eyes.

But seriously, Doom is gory and glorious and absolutely worth playing.
