  Hey thanks for describing this hypothetical situation, I pay Steam for a lot of game licenses so I’ve lost touch with the current philosophy of hypothetical alternatives.

  Upvote for calling out the ambiguity in the title:

  • “Doom popularized some mechanics still used today” - this is not that.
  • “FPS engines descend from ideas in the Doom source code” - this is not that.
  • “id named their engines with ‘Tech’” - this isn’t that, Doom was before that.
  • “Modern descendants of the original Doom engine can informally be called ‘tech’” - this is what the title means.
