&gt; It&#x27;d be nice if these extra steps weren&#x27;t in place but I see this atm as a minor inconvenience more than anything. Maybe my opinion would change at a later point.<p>The same thing was said about horse armor DLC. Now microtransactions have suffocated entire (more ethical) business models.

Somehow worse than my old super Nintendo version in that case. I wonder if they will embed ads on some of the walls next

Update: BS have reacted to the numerous complaints and are dropping the requirement.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;bethesda&#x2F;status&#x2F;1155140773215649793" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;bethesda&#x2F;status&#x2F;1155140773215649793</a>

Notably, the login prompt reportedly disappears if you take your Switch offline, so it&#x27;s not as though the game is permanently reliant on an external server.<p>I&#x27;d be curious as to what happens if you block Bethesda in your router.

DRM and they screwed Doom music! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Dh7nZ9t2eJA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Dh7nZ9t2eJA</a>

I&#x27;m not feeling the outrage. You put in any email and continue. It doesn&#x27;t even wait for confirmation.<p>Some comments mention money grabbing. It is $7.50, seriously.<p>It&#x27;s classic Doom, it is on the Switch and it plays really well. I&#x27;m enjoying it as much as other full priced titles.
