 * This whole thread is offtopic (talk pages are for discussing how to improve the article, not for discussions of the article's subject except so far as it concerns improving the article), but:


 * As all experienced Doom players know, the Doom engine was deliberately designed so that mods wouldn't work with the shareware demo version; what would be the point of id releasing such a game if they didn't get their due reward for it? The commercial version (The Ultimate Doom), which has long replaced the registered version, is easily and cheaply available from Steam — and no problems with Steam's DRM either, just install the source port of your choice (I recommend ZDoom) and copy the .WAD files to its installation directory. -- RobertATfm (talk) 00:35, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
