When you bought the Classic Doom games on any digital store?

[cs89]

Not just to look like a bad guy who does a serious mistake in this forum site every year I would like to ask something about which some members of the ZDoom community are concerned certainly.
My question is: Which online store did you buy the classic Doom 1-2 games from?

I bought the Doom Classic Pack on 2017's fall and I play all the Classic Doom games every year.
Then I bought Doom 3 BFG Edtiion on GoG and I can say that version of Doom 3 is more likeable for me because I don't have to switch to the flashlight.
Before that I also purchased the Doom 3 Pack just because I would like to play some mods on it.

Does idstuff count?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think I had bought any electronic download versions of any of the games until I got Strife VE (from GOG). Prior to that, they were all physical copies bought from a store or my original mail order registered Doom floppies direct from id.

Does idstuff count?

Yes, why not. If you had a physical copy of Doom 1 and 2, it still counts.
Also it counts if someone bought the newly released iOS and Android version of the classic Doom games, although I think playing the first 2 Doom games without a bluetooth gamepad isn't comfortable.

i got the BFG Edition when it was on sale purely to get the NERVE WAD that it contained. i don't actually use the IWADs from that pack, though: i've been using the same IWADs that i pulled from my copy of the Doom Collector's Edition, which i got maybe 15 years ago, possibly longer than that. i did buy the Raven pack online though, because while i had the fortune of finding a big box copy of Heretic, i did not own Hexen physically. i also bought Strife VE because i don't physically own that game either.

I also got Doom 3 BFG on GoG purely for NERVE.WAD, though I use that with an original copy of DOOM2 I bought in 1996.

(I don't believe in Doom3 nor its crippled classic Doom IWADs; for me they never happened and DOOM stopped with Final Doom. Can't speak for Strife, as it's like HeXen but worse - by design )

I got them all in a time when retail boxes were still the way to get games. I bought Hexen originally but sold it again in the late 90's, but later re-bought it along with Heretic from eBay. SVE is the only thing related to the Doom engine I got from a digital store.

I bought Strife: VE too on GoG. I tried that edition of Strife and it's a big help for me that the game shows the current mission's objective and it's relative place.
I have seen Katamori's walkthrough series about Strife and I got interest to that complex Doom Engine game.

I bought the Collectors Edition box back in like 1999/2000 and still have it. I also bought the "Doom Classic Complete" on Steam a year or so ago, and recently the other stuff like Hexen, Heretic, etc. Overall I think the Doom collection is cheaper than most of the other storefronts and goes on sale more often. For all the complaints about it, Steam has a fairly good track record as a stable digital licensing platform and the IWADs don't have any DRM on them, so it'll be fairly easy to reacquire my IWADs from the digital store if I ever lose my physical CD or backups, without having to resort to sketchy russian piracy sites.

I got my Doom IWads from the Doom Collectors Edition which I got from Walmart sometime in the Early 2000's. I have had the the Heretic and HeXen Iwads including the expansions for a very long time but I have no idea where I got them. I bought Doom 2 on Xbox 360 when it first came out for the then all new No Rest For The Living. I copied the game to a flashdrive and used a Hex Editor to extract the maps and created an autoload wad to run with Doom 2 in ZDoom on PC.

I had FreeDOOM for a while before I actually bought the id Software .WADs. I bought the DooM Classic Complete bundle on Steam on November 23, 2017.

Honestly, I should have done it long before that.

Pretty certain my brother pirated a copy when I was like 12. I ... I only actually BOUGHT Classic Doom for the first time like a year and a half ago. OOPS
