Why Fans Cancelled Their Physical Pre-orders for Doom The Dark Ages
This topic is currently a hot discussion in the Doom gaming community. According to reports, several fans or gamers who had pre-ordered Doom The Dark Ages have unexpectedly canceled their orders.
This all started with a tweet from a Twitter user named Nilynix, who shared a post about a physical game they recently acquired. In the post, they were surprised to find that the disc only contained 324 MB of game data, while the remaining 85 GB needed to be downloaded from the internet. This means the game disc merely included the installation files.
