If you want to make a case for it, Doom may have one of the most loyal fanbases even right when it first came out in December 1993. Some do like to make mods and have a unique experience that is new, but still in line with the design limitations the creators had to contend with. But then you have something like Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.
Punch-Out is a great NES game. Tough, but one of Nintendo's best efforts. Throw that into the Doom engine. This was put out a couple months ago and the idea is using your fists in one of the modern Doom engines and fighting Tyson. He is still one tough bird that he mimics his 8-bit counterpart, including the instant knockout punch. This is one mod I would like to try.
Due to the pandemic, there's places you still can't visit. This includes video game museums. One of them in Texas I believe went out of their way to recreate their entire building, but in a Doom WAD.. That's dedication. I've never made a level myself, but it must be very tough. Much like the Seinfeld one a few years ago, attention to detail and a few other things. But if people can't visit, do it in the greatest game's engine.
Doom is far from over in terms of a community.
