Samperson has already responded to some arguments in his post. The programmer, who managed to run DOOM in Notepad, stated that the image was not accelerated or changed the codes of the Notepad application.

Samperson, on the other hand, has not yet released the Notepad version of DOOM. The developer announced that he needed to make some fixes to make the game ‘releaseable’, after which he would release the game in a few days. The developer has not yet shared how he managed to play this game.
