Doom 2016 was also the second attempt. They were struggling hard, with the lackluster sales and reception of Rage and the new Doom being stuck in development hell, before management decided to cut their losses and scrap virtually all of it, save for the quick kills system.

Don’t get me wrong, fuck ZeniMax and all the big corporation that gobble up smaller corps just to push their share prices and sell them off or close them as soon as it looks like it would help their share price. But in this case it seems a little bit more complex than just ZeniMax bad.
