the fact that madness is well known and loved but people are still hating on DOOM is insane
Viewing post in Madness Combat FPS: Fueled by Hot Dogs comments
Probably because MC is more niche and Doom was way more publicized when it came out (video game scare)
Newgrounds and other flash animation works did face a lot of controversy around this time however, MC came out sometime when it started to die down, and to my knowledge never got caught in the controversy.
Helps that MC is more stylized and not as realistic. It's a bit more "tolerable"?
