Romero is a legend, but I’m not sure he understands doom too much these days. Especially if he’s going to charge for levels. (Edit, it’s a “Full nine-level SIGIL II WAD + 2 Deathmatch levels”, and two soundtracks)
I watched him play myhouse and it was shocking how little he reacted to it. He didn’t seem to notice any of the black magic going on around him, I think he even just turned it off with a little “ok there’s that” shrug.
To be fair, a lot of the “isn’t supposed to work” stuff in MyHouse.wad isn’t really new to Doom. It’s not like the author invented some astonishing new techniques. It’s just that the presentation is incredibly well done.
Like, room over room stuff was more or less figured out as soon as people started using the Build engine. It was just a matter of time until this stuff was available in Doom. My guess is that it’s been possible for at least 20 years.

Idk I could be reading him wrong though.
He already charged for levels, in sigil. It was a success. This is the sequel.
I don’t really understand the thought process of you two, this already worked.
Seriously I have no idea what’s up with them.
He’s doing it for a bit of viral marketing and because it’s fun.
The money he’ll make is kinda meaningless and the people wholl pay for it just wanna throw him beer money for the decades of Doom entertainment.
I saw the same stream, it was rather uneventful and its strange how he didn’t seem to notice anything that “wasn’t supposed to work.”
At the same time, the guy is old. He probably doesn’t really care all that much.

True, that’s probably a big factor.
I can’t blame him if that’s the case.
