God, you guys are bitchy. id doesn't even have to make this, and given their situation, it's far more than they'd normally be allowed to do. They're creating a whole new levelset (and mind you, on an engine that takes much more work to create a single map than the original Doom), and they've updated an old engine of theirs, and you guys are getting all bent over "BAH, TOO LATE, NO PC MULTIPLAYER".
You have to consider that we're not the target audience. We're a small but dedicated community of enthusiasts for the old games. id is targeting this at the general public (we're far from being that), to get Doom into the public eye again for their upcoming release of Doom 4. It's a product for marketing purposes, and given that that's its purpose, they've put a lot of work in and bonus content for something they could easily skim on and do a half-assed release if they wanted to.
The reason they're not doing PC multiplayer is because the original executables use outdated protocols. The reason they don't have Doom 3 co-op is because this is the PC version of Doom 3, the Xbox version was 3rd party.
If it doesn't appeal to you, fine, I'm not terribly interested in it either, but just accept it for what it is, and acknowledge that they put much more effort than needed into it.
