Bethesda explains Doom Eternal's lack of deathmatch mode, saying it's 'eons old'
https://www.pcgamer.com/bethesda-explains-doom-eternals-lack-of-deathmatch-mode-saying-its-eons-old/
Doom Eternal is the first game in the series to ship without an online deathmatch mode, which is noteworthy because Doom pioneered it. But pioneer or not, Doom 2016's take on the format didn't set the world ablaze, and in an interview with Shacknews, Bethesda VP Pete Hines makes a good case for the mode's absence in the new game.

Seriously, for such a statement I really want to reply to them that copyright laws are even older. He should rather simply have stated that the one from Doom just didn't work out as intended and thus cut it for the successor, but giving "eons old" as a reason is just bullcrap.
