Given the fuckups around definitive editions and the fact that there's already so many great, free, open source Doom engines and content, this feels like a money grab and a step backwards.

The games cost like $2 on Steam. They probably lost money doing this if anything especially since they gave it away free to people who bought the previous releases.
