Thatcher's Techbase is a much-loved mod for Doom 2, having amassed a strong following since its launch in 2021. Now, with the latest ports of the first two Doom games, the creator was able to share the creation on the official mod page, letting a wider audience experience the simple pleasure of sending Margaret Thatcher back to the deepest pits of hell.
However, someone had to spoil the fun for everyone and reported the mod to Bethesda. In response, the moderation team removed it from the mod page, citing a breach of its rule against "real-world politics".
...
You may have heard about Thatcher's teachbase a couple of years back. It made headlines after former Labour leader and current independent MP Jeremy Corbyn played the mod himself. He was said to have enjoyed his time with the game and even posed for a picture with the arcade cabinet running it. So, even if Bethesda doesn't want the game on its mod page, at least it has that seal of approval.
...
Don't worry, Thatcher is still dead in real life though.

Folks, it's a doom mod and Bethesda removed it off their page.
People have been modding and sharing Doom mods for 30 years. There's lots of doom clients outside of the Bethesda one. There's lots of ways to Mod and finding Doom mods.
Again, this is a thirty year old game and it probably has like a handful of devs working part time to manage the Doom community. They don't want to deal with anything that gives them shit.
Yeah, I upvited the post because I think the mod sounds fun and more people seeing it seems good. I don't agree that this is an issue though. Just go download it somewhere else. I'm sure it's still very easy to access.
