Well, whether it was an oversight or not, all's well that ends well the way I see it. The important thing is, it's getting fixed.

I already own the games, as I got the special edition of Doom 3 on the original Xbox that came with Doom I & II included, (plus I have the original game on the SNES in all its low res glory haha) but still, it's nice to have the classics available on Switch, for those who like to play on the go, or who prefer to have their games on their current system.

Yeah, I get that, but don't simply go "it's important that we got there in the end", because that's like hand-waving the entire issue and allowing them to go and do it again. Stand up and say "no, don't you fucking dare do that again", because at the end of the day, they don't care about you or me, but they will respond in time, to consumers who get angry and form a mob.

I'm not exactly pleased with folks out there on twitter hammering "thanks guys", as if they did us a service. They weren't supposed to pull that stunt in the first place. No way on this earth do they deserve a thanks or kudos. They knew full well what they wanted and what they expected of us, and that itself is disgusting, and shouldn't be thanked ever at all.

Next time this happens, don't sit down, don't back down at all. Stand and fight against crappy practices and bad expectations from a publisher. Remember, they serve you, they make games for you, for you to buy and play, not the other way around. Without us a pub is quite literally nothing, and it should always be that way. 

At the end of the day, PC gamers don't like what Epic is doing and are fighting back in various ways. I firmly believe console folk should never back down, to this kind of tripe, when a publisher pulls this over your heads.
