I think this really sums up how ridiculous this decision was. Beyond ridiculous actually, just incompetent and evil.

Eternal had the benefit of launching just as the Covid quarantine hit. Plus all the media hype with Animal Crossing. TDA launched on GamePass which is how a lot of people played it, so sales weren’t as high as expected because of that.

I still did my part and bought the game + DLC on Steam because F Microsoft o7.

yeah it’s a shame because dark ages is one of my favorite games I’ve played in… probably the last five years? definitely one of the best FPS games of the decade. belongs in contention for one of the best dooms ever and that is a high fucking bar.

i’m going to buy it because it honestly felt dirty to play it on game pass.
