He didn't play the game long enough to really experience everything, and he also got some facts wrong. The original controls weren't the WASD/mouse combo, like he said in the article. Did he just play the first level and make the rest up. Most of the writing is just filler anyways, it doesn't take an entire paragraph to describe how the gun bobs when you walk. The whole article... just seems overly dramatic, and lacks any real content.

Also, how could you possibly spend 5 minutes on the first level?

I'm one of the biggest doom fans and what I saw there was that he didn't speak about the graphics badly. The graphics are bad.

No, it says he bought it on Steam first. Then, he played the flash version? Instead of consulting Google and IMMEDIATELY finding info on source ports? Playing on flash or XBLA is a million times less true to Doom than playing via Chocolate Doom or PrBoom.

(I have now played Doom twice, but I have still never paid to play Doom which lumps me with the majority or minority?)

It sounds to me like he didn't buy Doom at all - playing the game in the Flash version on Newgrounds, then the trial on XBLA.

I can tell you right now his claim that he bought it on steam is bullshit. I actually got my copy of final doom on steam. You don't even need a source port to play it. It's already set up for you. All you need to do is click the game and then play. From what I understand it's the same thing for Doom and Doom 2 as well, the only difference being that with Final Doom a window pops up after you run it asking whether you'd like to run Evilution or Plutonia.

my Xbox Live Gold account had just expired, so I was not playing it with friends.

A quick Googling of the author shows that he's a gaming journalist for the mainstream abomination known as MTV.

Question remains, does he even play games?

Yeah, I find it strange that he couldn't play the Steam version. It's even set up to use WASD and mouse controls by default, without having to use the setup program (which they didn't even include for some reason). I've never had any trouble running Doom in DOSBox, I was even able to run it find on my eight year old laptop. If he had actually tried Chocolate Doom that would've run fine too, since it'll find the Steam release automatically.

version does not start with WASD and is, as you say, without a SETUP program. It's also set up in a clunky way to be nearly inconfigurable and run like crap. Nothing like if you'd gotten DOSBox and set it up yourself.

It's not that hard, imagine back to when you played Doom for the very very first time (probably using the arrow keys, since WASD, fuck, mouselook in games hadn't been invented yet)
