    Obviously. You can’t really expect the pope to play solo. Now the true question is, who did he romance first? My money is on Karlak.

    This raises a more interesting question. How many copies of DOOM have been sold in the Vatican?

    Not surprising, it’s another place based in high fantasy

      quality burn

      Though I would still like to go. That architecture looks fantastic.

        The fandom takes cosplay and immersion very seriously.

    Probably the two IT nerds who manage the Vatican systems.

    I’d assume there’d be at least someone there who’s job it is to “research” things to see if they’re to be banned or not.

    Like the person who would’ve had to read the Harry Potters.

      Believe it or not, the Catholic Church is far less into the “Satanic Panic” idea that anything that mentions magic and stuff is evil and should be avoided than most Protestant Christian churches, especially the Evangelicals. Pretty much the only thing they consider sinful outright in the media is porn, otherwise you’re just advised to avoid stuff that influences you to commit other sins. This includes things like Baldur’s Gate 3. If it’s not influencing you to sin, it’s not a sin to play. Same with Harry Potter and other stuff like that. It’s just some extreme folks in the Church, influenced by the Evangelicals, who push the Satanic Panic farther than the Church officially teaches and give the Church a bad name in that regard. Lots of priests are sci-fi/fantasy/gamer nerds, and Tolkien (author of Lord of the Rings) was a faithful practicing Catholic.

        Speaking of satanic panic, the biggest irony are those that denounce stuff like the Diablo or Doom series. You know, games were the player’s job is to literally destroy the forces of actual hell. Maybe killing demons with swords and shotguns is sinful?

    I’m more surprised that it even got offered there. There’s some legal hurdles to clear for selling in a new country, and I guess, one of their distribution platforms decided it was worth it.

    I guess, the Vatican might not have a ton of laws, though…

        Interesting. I almost guessed that variant, too, but figured it would be a bit too wild for a country to auto-adopt most laws that another country implements. 🙃

      Pirated ones, probably, though I doubt anyone other than the dear leader is allowed to play, because “western propaganda”. Not like you’d have many people in there with a good PC anyway. Or even electricity.

        It would probably also have to run on Red Star OS. It runs well enough on Linux with Proton, but would they have Proton?
