    Your To: came out screwy..

    I see that now. :( Telegram underscores the parts after the To and Subj parts of the original I copy/pasted that. Now I know it would be best to dump those in a notepad equivalent first.

    There are Doom games available on Android.

    Then that is very cool. Then Telegram could serve as a tool for the chatty players.


    But beyond that, you're limiting your view.

    Just because a person is communicating via a
    smartphone/tablet application, doesn't mean that
    they don't also use PC's or game systems.

    I never suggested limitation. I just thought unless a person can play the game and access the DOOM echo on the same tablet/smartphone, then maybe the Telegram link would not be handy.

    I'm not seeing the connection you're making.

    Why would you be on the game and on the message area at the same time?

    I've played various MMORPG games over the years where there have been
    group chats set up on various platforms to help coordinate actions,
    especially in group combat.

    But in this case, I suspect the echo is more geared towards tips and
    tricks and pointing to MOD files that people have made or found.

    It's not really for real time activity during gameplay.

    I'm not. I am saying that if the user just has one device and uses it for playing the game, then maybe the access to DOOM echo would be handy at other times - and be in touch with fans of the game to post comments, tips, mods, etc.

    I agree. I never assumed simultaneous game+chat activity.
