Guy DupontWe need to STOP running DOOM on new things
and START putting new things into DOOM.
For example, today I added micro-transactions to the original game. Any time you pick up an item, the game freezes until you make a payment.
This is my entry for the Boston Stupid Shit Nobody Needs & Terrible Ideas hackathon.
The game is actually modified! I jammed libcurl into the chocolate doom source port and wrote a little python server to generate qr codes and handle the payment info.
Bill, organizer of stuff@gvy_dvpont Need moar block chain and AI, for sure
KatieVM@gvy_dvpont Truly forward-thinking. This is horrifying.
I gotta see more of this hackathon.

Evan B🥥ehs@gvy_dvpont boosting bc how have I never heard of the Boston Stupid Shit Nobody Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon I literally live here
@eb tap in next year!! It actually sold out this year
Simen E. Sørensen@gvy_dvpont this makes me angry! Thanks, and good job :)
ducksauz 🦆That's horrible and I love it. Nice job!
Zev Eisenberg@gvy_dvpont oh man, that’s good. I wanted to go but didn’t get a ticket in time. Next year.
Nonya Bidniss 🥥🌴@gvy_dvpont pure evil
Andrew 🌻 Brandt 🐇@Nonya_Bidniss @gvy_dvpont Pure awfulness
Cauê@Nonya_Bidniss @gvy_dvpont now the game is complete.
Mark Down@gvy_dvpont FINALLY
Terence Eden@gvy_dvpont can I pay with Tesla share options?
@Edent absolutely
Bornach@gvy_dvpont @Edent
Is there a cheapskate option to watch an ad or fill out a marketing survey instead?
Players might even opt to label some training data for an AI company to avoid paying.

EVHaste@gvy_dvpont You’re a monster and I respect you so much for it
Florian Egermann@gvy_dvpont @hypebot Needs just a bit of NFT to really destroy my youth.
Gary Parker@gvy_dvpont you are literally the reason we can’t have Nice Things 😂
Mieszko Ślusarczyk@gvy_dvpont I thought that’s what Fortnite is for?
Robert Jan Schutten@gvy_dvpont Brilliant! I hate this so much!
Rollade@gvy_dvpont how about you give it your payment info at the start and every bullet costs a dollar... You know like EA games in 2025.
@Rollade @gvy_dvpont
And have bullets be mined on a blockchain so that as more people play the game the price eventually rises to what Chris Rock suggested

Gracjan Nowak@gvy_dvpont Not the update we wanted, but the update we deserved…

Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️@magnetic_tape @gvy_dvpont I've thought about something similar but I was gonna use my coin acceptor for some arcade style fun.
Still, this is awesome
Still, this is awesome
@foone @magnetic_tape my wife pitched the coin idea to me as I was walking out the door this morning and I was so mad I didn't have time to grab one! So good. She suggested only accepting like 44¢ as payment too 😂
@gvy_dvpont @magnetic_tape that's a great idea to make it extra annoying, yeah!
James Bow@gvy_dvpont So, Ferengi Doom, basically?
bison ✅@gvy_dvpont thanks, i hate it ^^
TurnipCannon@gvy_dvpont Who would have thought a game about opening a portal to Hell needed more evil in it
vandys@gvy_dvpont Now _that_ is a commentary on the game industry! 👍️
journalist 
@gvy_dvpont finally ! a good way to provide a source of revenue and income for up and coming Open Source projects ! i believe more Open Source devs need to implement this into their code ! real game changer here !
@gvy_dvpont i mean we can do both, right? https://mastodon.social/@olafurw/112262923598854629
Cegorach@gvy_dvpont that put doom back into the "horror" genre
wasn't there, due to aging graphics, for some decades now…
Aphrodite (recharging)we have found the anti- @foone
JudeCaps@gvy_dvpont Average Ubisoft experience, haha. On another note, this is great. Truly an innovation of all time.
Evan K
enoch_exe_inc@gvy_dvpont That is horrifying! Please continue.
Bel Tamtu | Critter Unit@gvy_dvpont Thanks, I hate it. xD (It's also really funny.)
@gvy_dvpont DOOM made by EA. 
Point N' Click
ꜱᴛᴇᴇʟ ʀᴀᴛ ɢᴀᴍᴇʀSTOP
you are giving EA ideas now on a new way for in-game microtransactions. Paying for loot
MemPrices@gvy_dvpont EA will hire you.
Bread Oventin@gvy_dvpont welcome to hell
kylemsguy@gvy_dvpont the only way you could make this even better is to let people pay using crypto
Abraxas3d@gvy_dvpont aaahhh .wad files for the win yet again.
@abraxas3d I think this makes it less interesting but I'm actually using stock WAD. Made all the changes in C.
Juan@JuanJuanJuan it's what they wanted!
@gvy_dvpont Ubisoft: You are hired!🤣🤣
Jeroen Baert@gvy_dvpont this makes me want to rip and tear. Good job.
MacSquizzy@gvy_dvpont I hate it here
Keith Böhler@gvy_dvpont
Sorry all. I clicked like before seeing the micro transactions.
