Pentagons? I think you mean pentagrams... :)
Here's one problem, OB1. ID has changed a lot over the years. Doom had a lot of people working on it who left not too long afterwards -- John Romero, Tom Hall (who I think is great for being the main guy behind Keen... he did Anachronox too, btw...), American McGee, etc... I don't think you can just lump all of their games together like you do. They aren't that similar. Sure, you run around and shoot stuff, but the environments and implementations are definitely different. And Doom is still entertaining. What's so wrong with running around and shooting things?
