Old Man Murray's former crate rule is now broken.

How so? I still think about TTFC when loading up a new shooter

They had an article about rating games based on how soon you see the first crate. Developers at the time used to always fill space with crates.

Doom failed because there were barrels in the opening scene, and barrels are just round crates.
