This made me burst out laughing and feel ancient as fuck at the same time. Grats.
Seriously though, props to John Romero doing this.
Maybe, maybe not. I believe some of the more recent stuff he did for Ultimate Doom is playable on the Xbox version, though I could be wrong.
Bought…this is awesome.
New DOOM II content from one of the legends of id… that's something else.

Pretty sure it is, but it's also is free to download. Don't think Bethesda designed the current Doom add-ons system to work with paid content too.
1. This is awesome.
2. Some of the merch on his site is rad - that Doomguy face mask is perfect!

Oh that's true. It'd be cool if they patched in a way to buy it on consoles.
Would be cool if MS could work with him to get this playable on the console versions of Doom to open this gesture up to a bigger audience.
Not presently, they'd need to add it officially given there's no way to sideload content in the Xbox version. You can do it on the Android version however.
That would be Sigil, which yes is available there amongst other things.
My guess is that it just looks for a WAD in a specific folder? If that was the case, they could just put it on PSN/XBL/Steam and skip the internal mod downloader. It would be less money donated, because platform fees (assuming Beth/MS would waive their fee as well) since I'm not even sure they have an option of skipping the fee. Still would raise more due to the volume of sales, tho?
Xbox/iPhone life
I'll still grab it and keep it in the back pocket in case it becomes available
I assume you mean selling it as a DLC package? From what I know of doing the mod support in Quake, no it wouldn't be quite that simple. The mod support is engineered to look inside a mount location that is a kind of cache storage on consoles (you can only write to very specific locations). A DLC package would be yet another location to look in, index and load.
(Also I assume you mean Switch rather than Steam. The Steam/PC version can sideload as well. :P)
Yeah, I goofed. "Folder" was a simplification, but now that you mentioned it, I should have expected the game files and DLC are totally separate locations in memory and that the internal mod manager downloads to the former.
And the latter I mean they would probably put it in all versions, which even on Steam would put more eyes on it.
Selling levels is legal as long as you aren't including any assets from the game.
Good dude
Yes, it's just level data and you need the game to play it.

Oh hey, he's got a .txt file packaged with the WAD, just like other map makers. I wonder what-
Just legendary.
