Hey cool!

I admin/am with a curator group that crowdsources this within Steam itself, alongside noting when DRM free alternatives are available when the Steam copies aren't DRM free (which happens sometimes).

Check it out here:

p.s. I didn't create the group originally, so the name is a carryover from the creator being inspired by GOG's FCKDRM push at the time. If memory serves changing it risks breaking things.

@simple What a coincidence! I've been getting back into this lately.

This game is fantastic if you enjoy VRChat/Webfishing/etc. It's like those but with a ridiculous amount more in terms of minigames, microgames (see: arcade), and custom spaces/places (condos).

You can load all manner of custom player models, object models, images, etc.

It provides plenty for solo players & groups of players, both with coop & competitive options. Well worth checking out!

@spizzat2 It is, the cosmetics were unlockables via SnapMap, providing some ways you can customize the look of the Doom Guy/Doom Slayer.

SnapMap was Doom 2016's limited level creator basically. Not proper mod tools unfortunately, but an okay compromise compared to nothing at all.

It was what sold me on the game, but I'm a sucker for accessible level editing and the like tools in games.

@ampersandrew More annoying to my mind than the lack of MP is lack of SnapMap. Like you said, may not have been the selling point for most, but given Doom's legacy is as much courtesy of user created stuff as it is its technical contributions, it's a big loss to not have that.

Tempted to see if there's a way to hack SnapMap back in to a degree so people could still play backed up custom maps (which exist thanks to dedicated modders hacking & extending SnapMap functionality).
