Did your friend even look at the specs needed for Doom 2016
I think he assumed the specs were software-based, rather than hardware, and that the right programs can make it work.
He just spoiled, nothing more, he wants what he wants and in fragmented unacceptable incomplete ways. Is his problem and he needs to see it himself to get fixed.
He's not the best PC user. Everything else is daisies and roses.
I was actually wondering if he is autistic. He doesn't seem to be able to understand the analogies the OP was using to explain the situation.
He's more of a selective analogy understander. If it's PC-related he'll get none of the analogies. Last night I told him "it's like being pregnant, except the fetus doesn't exist after a couple hours" as an analogy to explain a food baby and he understood immediately.
I think he has a serious problem worst and outta your control just watch him okay, please don't try anything crazy. Sure it sucks that stuff gets banned for censorship reasons and if he doesn't like somethting is his right to protest but not at the expense of others who care, he is really being selfish and from your description i imagine a very spoiled person way worst than SJW people have become. No offense to you or him
...actually, he wasn't disgusted that it was banned. He was disgusted that it was made despite the potential to be banned. In his explanation, he went off about how Japan should have known by the time the episode was made how America treats boobs in media directed at children.
do you have a pc? show him it playing doom, and then tell him how new it is compared to his PC
idk
Oh, if only I had a PC that could run DOOM.
Wow. Tell him to get a better machine or play some of the old but good games like HL2, Half Life 1 (and the expansions), the OLD doom, Deus Ex, Stuff like that!
That's most of the problem. He thinks a PC is something you buy to last forever, like a house.
Holy shit how old is your friend? 8 years old?
My 8 years old self wants to puke from such stupidity right now.
He's like 26. He's lived in this town his whole life. You will find redneck, gun totin', barely literate stereotypical 'muricans in my town, so it's unsurprising he isn't that PC-savvy.

Update: "If I get a new computer I don't want that Cortana thing."
Helping him find the PC for his needs is gonna be a bit difficult. He likes Windows 10.
