You can’t play the DOOM games if you aren’t logged in to the internet. Classic games like Doom and Doom 2 are perfect for filling the free moments of a day, and since Switch owners play games in portable mode 50 percent of the time, it’s not like people wouldn’t want to enjoy Doom this way. This is undoubtedly an effort to boost free Bethesda Net signups, and while I’m sure it will be a successful effort, it’s bizarre and disappointing that id would hamstring the Switch ports’ functionality to get more emails on a mailing list. For 30-something-year-old games that are being sold at $5 a pop on the Nintendo Switch eShop, it seems like a lot of effort for id to go to the trouble of coding in participation in the Bethesda Net ecosystem. Soooo… these DOOM ports force you to log into a BNet account. This isn’t a huge deal on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, but for Nintendo Switch owners, it means they’ll be unable to play classic Doom games on the subway, bus, or anywhere without an internet connection. Weirdly, Doom and Doom 2 both require an internet connection and mandate that players login to a Bethesda Net account. Quakecon 2019 is in full swing, and as a special surprise ahead of Doom Eternal‘s November release, id Software has made Doom, Doom 2, and Doom 3 available on modern consoles for the first time.
