Doom emerged in 1993 as a groundbreaking first-person shooter, igniting discussions about video game violence, especially after the Columbine tragedy. Its impact sparked a prolonged culture war around violent games. The 2016 reboot and subsequent release, Doom: The Dark Ages, illustrate a stark transition in gaming. While earlier discussions focused on the influence of violent content, modern games now delve into the complexities of violence, reflecting a more secure and inquisitive gaming culture rather than one merely defending its content.
Doom, which revolutionized the FPS genre in 1993, became a cultural target for violence debates following its association with real-life school shootings, fueling moral panic.
The new era of Doom, especially with Doom: The Dark Ages, reflects an industry that is more interested in exploring and interrogating violence than defending it.
