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.

The mod was made 3 years ago but Bethesda’s official mod downloader is brand new. The page they took down was very recently made.
