Today is the 10th anniversary of Doom—not the 1993 classic that changed the world, but the 2016 reboot that proved to be far better than I’d dared to hope. We celebrated the big birthday by confirming with Doom co-creator John Romero that Doom Guy was not intentionally rocking a sexy tummy window, but had in fact had his shirt torn open by the legions of Hell. Why did we do this? Because we’re PC Gamer and we do whatever the hell we want, that’s why.
Others have apparently chosen to mark the memorable moment in more conventional ways—such as Doom overlord Bethesda Softworks, which has marked that great shooter down to just $2/£1.59/€2 on Steam, 90% off the regular price. Doom is, to be clear, well worth that regular price—as a stand-up, balls-out, rip-and-tear killfest, there are very few better—so for $2, it’s an absolute steal.
Those are pretty good deals across the board, but the simple fact is that there’s one can’t-miss deal among them, and that’s the 2016 reboot—which is also, you may have noticed, the cheapest of the bunch. Trust me, if you don’t have it, you want to get it. You also don’t want to horse around about it too much, because the sale (on all of them) ends in just a couple days, on May 15.
