MODERATORS
John Romero also isn’t a boomer but the reason I believe Carmack was more influential is because he was the single most important person in overcoming technical challenges that allowed those games to run.
I would personally prefer Doomer shooters given Doom’s influence, especially its cultural influence.
What about...Doom Clones? Full circle there
They'll always be doom clones to me, up to a point.
Eh it’s got to roll off the tongue if it’s going to stick
