Summary
Thatcher’s Techbaseis a much-loved mod forDoom 2, having amassed a strong following since its launch in 2021. Now, with the latest ports of the first twoDoomgames, the creator was able to share the creation on the official mod page, letting a wider audience experience the simple pleasure of sending Margaret Thatcher back to the deepest pits of hell.
However, someone had to spoil the fun for everyone and reported the mod toBethesda. In response, the moderation team removed it from the mod page, citing a breach of its rule against “real-world politics”.
Thatcher’s Techbase Doom Mod Has Been Taken Down
“The Creation Thatcher’s Techbase has been reported for real-world politics and has been removed,” reads an email from Bethesda,sharedby the mod’s director, Jim Purvis.
This comes after Purvis made the mod available via the new Doom + Doom 2 port, which made it playable on console. You can still play the mod on PC, of course, by going through thewebsite. This just means that we have fewer platforms at our disposal if we ever feel like ripping and tearing through hell to take on Thatcher.
You may have heard about Thatcher’s teachbase a couple of years back. It made headlines afterformer Labour leader and current independent MP Jeremy Corbyn played the mod himself. He was said to have enjoyed his time with the game and even posed for a picture with the arcade cabinet running it. So, even if Bethesda doesn’t want the game on its mod page, at least it has that seal of approval.
The Doom + Doom 2 port is out now, available onPC,Xbox,PlayStation, andNintendo Switch.
