You used to be able to get Doom 3 for cheap on Steam, on account of the game being pretty damn old. But ever since the release of its updated sibling, Doom 3 BFG edition, the original is nowhere to be found. You canāt buy it.

The removal has rightly been seen by many as a low move, since there are a number of fantastic mods available for the old game that wonāt work on the new one. Not to mention the fact the old game was cheaper, and did a lot of things the new update addsālike attach a flashlight to your gunāfor free.
Responding to a query from Rock Paper Shotgun, id & Bethesdaās PR rep says āDOOM 3 and Resurrection of Evil are now only available through the BFG Edition, which also includes the Lost Mission. If you already own the original versions of DOOM 3 and Resurrection of Evil, you will still be able to access them from within your Steam library.ā
āWe do realize that there are fans that would like to purchase the original version of the game, and weāre looking into options for them. When thereās new info to share, weāll let everyone know.ā
Wrong answer. Or, to be more precise, wrong non-answer. The right answer would have been either āoh, whoops, mistake, letās fix thatā, or āhey, you got us, nice work, ok weāre putting it backā.
