@evie I never even was that fond of the commander keen games I mean I guess I played like ... 1-6 of them? and had a pretty okay time? for most of it??

but... you know... not like this... not like /this/ ;;

@Nine @evie isn't it kinda sad how the Dead Keen Easter eggs in modern Doom games are more respectful to the Keen name than the new proposed Comander Keen game?

@LANthus @evie wait there are more Keen easter eggs in the more recent doom games? I just remember the Commander Keens you gotta kill in the super secret level of Doom 2 to exit the level

@LANthus @evie but yeah, jeez. I mean, I'm cool with Keen having a sister, that's fine, but... a mobile f2p game?... really???

@Nine @LANthus it was a thing they showed off at E3 like it was a big deal that people would love

@evie @Nine honestly like, even if it WASN'T a phone game I dunno how they thought a Comander Keen an old children's game, would get people hyped

@LANthus @evie I mean clearly they were like "shit we need more cash uhhh, what's something old we can modernise so we can get more quick cash from the nostalgia addicts? Oh I know! Mobile F2p games make cash hand over fist! Let's do that with it too!" not at all thinking about how the peojple who KNOW who commander keen is would be like "what the FUCK , NO" and people who don't would be like "??? Bethesda wtf r u doin fuck off."

@LANthus @evie and like... this is back from 2019 and the game STILL hasn't come out so...

@Nine @evie my gut says it's not totally canned, they (were) just waiting and retooling until the moment they could casually slide it out after Eternal and get background whale money. Delays and CURRENT WORLD CLIMATE stopped that

@Nine @evie 2016 has his helmet on a skull in a secret area. Idk what Eternal's is but apparently there is one.
