> PIPELINE SUMMARY CONNECTED...

The community is in a state of bittersweet mourning, overwhelmingly praising Revelations as a near-perfect swan song that fixes every complaint about the base game—the spear is a genius addition, the music finally slaps, and the pace is Eternal-tier again—while simultaneously raging against Microsoft for laying off half of id Software the day before launch. The positive camp is calling it a masterpiece and a love letter to the franchise, while the negative camp is mostly review-bombing the DLC itself due to broken keybinds, crashes, and one particularly hated Archvile fight, though many of those are mixed with fury at the layoffs rather than the content.

[ TRACK 1: STEAM PLAYER REVIEWS ]

GAMEPLAY & PERFORMANCE PROS:

  • Spear adds insane mobility and depth, basically turns Dark Ages into Eternal 2.0
  • No more Dragon or Mech segments—pure, unfiltered demon murder
  • Boss fights are actually challenging and memorable now, not just bullet sponges
  • Soundtrack is a massive step up, finally feels like Mick Gordon's spiritual successor

PERFORMANCE & STABILITY CONS:

  • 💀Spear keybinds are completely unbound by default on both PC and Steam Deck—who tested this?
  • 💀Multiple reports of crashes and black screen on startup, especially on Linux and handhelds
  • 💀Broken checkpoints that spawn you outside arenas, forcing a full restart
  • 💀Day-one bugs that likely won't get patched because half the engine team was fired

[ TRACK 2: COMMUNITY HUB & METAGAME DRAMA ]

COMMUNITY MEMES & LORE HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Microslop fired the engine team, now we're all praying idTech doesn't die with them
  • Archvile is back and more annoying than ever—teleporting bullet sponge that spawns infinite adds
  • The spear is just Eternal's meathook but with extra steps—and I'm here for it
  • This DLC is a 10/10 but I'm still pirating it out of spite for Microsoft

DEVELOPER DRAMA & GRIPES:

  • 💀Microsoft laid off 50% of id Software (95 out of 200 employees) the day before Revelations dropped
  • 💀The entire idTech engine team was gutted, leaving the future of DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein in doubt
  • 💀John Romero himself tweeted condolences, calling it 'a strange and painful thing'
  • 💀Players are split between buying to support devs and pirating to spite Microsoft—chaos ensues
