(Cont. 2/2)

The mobile games released last decade were the first ones that attempted to interconnect id software's first three major games (Keen, Wolf, Doom) by having one of the protagonists of the second Doom RPG mobile game named "Stan Blazkowicz", which is not just a direct reference to B.J. Blazkowicz, but also plays an important role in later sections of the game, as a very familiar demon from Hell makes references to events from Wolfenstein's own mobile game that was also released during that time, hinting that this Stan Blazkowicz character is a very distant descendant of B.J.'s family. Oh, and that character wears a space marine uniform strikingly similar to Doomguy's, as you can see in this very picture

This timeline that connects B.J./Keen/Doomguy has been "officially" applied to the mobile games that were released by id software's mobile team at the time, which was lead by none other than John Carmack, who wanted to dabble with Java mobile programming because Carmacks gonna Carmack.

This timeline has been somewhat adopted by many members of this community as "official" and the way gaming websites picked up the relationship between Blazko, Keen and Doomguy recently might as well be the foundation for modern id software to apply it in the current "canon". To those that despised Doom Slayer's Lore item choice a few months ago, feel free to take this as a warning message.

Also, ACTUAL QUAKE CHAMPIONS SPOILERS: Dataminers found references to a "Keen" skin/player in the game's data. Keen's coming back, motherfuckers.
