《毁灭战士》两位原版创作者争论死亡竞赛起源

Doom co-creator John Romero and level and game designer Sandy Petersen are disputing each other's recollection of the origin of Doom's DeathMatch mode on X. Petersen said the id team assumed almost no one would play Deathmatch, while Romero countered that a January 1, 1993 press release announced multiplayer eight months before Petersen joined and that the team knew Deathmatch would be huge. Both stood by their accounts.
