Good point. It is hard to take anyone seriously who claims to be an
industry-insider, yet who mistakenly accuses Doom3 of ripping off
the plot of Half-Life. Half-life borrowed liberally from the original
plot of Doom1, is how the truth really goes. Doom3 is just being true
to its original Doom1 plot. Either this person doesn't keep up very well
on his industry, or he was still filling his diapers when Doom1 was released.
