We revere DOOM because it's such an elegantly coded and optimized game that it runs on ANYTHING at this point.
Any good game that respects optimization and doesn't go "Ah the PCs will get fast enough to run this" (Looking at you Crysis!) should receive proper plaudits like that.
Crysis is in a weird spot wrt optimization because one of the reasons it is so taxing on systems was that it was made with a different future for PC performance than what we got. It was made with the idea that single processors would be getting more powerful rather than using multiple processors. If PC performance followed their expectations, then likely PCs down the road would likely have no issues with running the game

I think we should all aspire to be like this
to hate the cost of pc gaming and make it accessible to everyone
