I mean, if someone says "Doom and Wolfenstein" without specifying "Doom Eternal" and "Wolfenstein: Youngblood" (which I had to look up, BTW), I'm thinking of Id.

that makes sense, especially since Doom eternal is in fact still developed by id
Wolfenstein and Doom have both reached significantly more people since they got adopted by zenimax though, so most folks who actually played the games will have probably gotten introduced to them as Bethesda published games
“Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW),
which is why most folks are probably not talking about the old games when they say they like wolfenstein and doom
I wouldn't be so sure about that, what with the "It runs Doom" meme and the fact that most people on Lemmy seem to be old fucks like me who played them when they originally came out 😄
Yeah like when we say RoboCop we think of the 2014 movie because it made a lot more at box office, and nobody thinks of the iconic and hugely influential original movie unless you say RoboCop (1987)
the difference is that discussions about robocop are exclusively about the original
if youre convinced the wolfenstein and doom reboots have the same impact and relevance as robocop (2014) youre entirely allowed to stay that way, im not gonna try and shake you out of it
