Forcing raytracing is a great way to close off a bunch of customers.

Not just because some people don't have it either, but for anything with RTX2000/3000 and RDNA2, Forced RT is just forced low framerate.

I hope making everyone dynamically draw the lights and shadows in realtime for a linear game was worth the 15c it saved on Microsoft's electricity bill for not pre-baking overnight.

Yep, that and it looks like the base Doom formula has been watered down a lot from the gameplay I've seen.

The release of new games sometimes makes me play older titles, going through Doom 2 with some tasty mods atm.
