Strife gets neglected because there isn't much to talk about, short of when a newbie comes around and asks about it and maybe starts playing it, then starts talking about what he thinks about it, and that spurs a brief bit of discussion, as people get into what an unusual game it was.

It's really neat for its time, and has gorgeous fucking art, but it's also really quaint and has very limited replay value. Further, usermade content for Strife is *extremely* rare, so there's almost never anything new to talk about, even Heretic and Hexen gets more content made for them, and that's already pretty sparse. Like, there at least exists a few short campaigns and megawads for those, there's a few people who pay attention to them and make something every now and then.

Not Strife, it doesn't have that, it's the red headed stepchild of Doom engine games.
There's like, ONE such adventure, which is a large level that's sort of like a few smaller hubs joined together, creating a short adventure. Not bad, but also nothing amazing either.
Maybe sometimes, there's a gameplay mod made for it, or one is adapted to fit it.
Weapons Of Rebellion is like the one really good one.
This probably comes down to how tedious it really is to develop new content for Strife, because of how peculiar things are set up.
For instance, peasants can be different people on different map slots, depending on which color their clothes are and their Thing ID and shit, meaning you can be placing what you think are just background extras, but they're like all fucking Harris because you're on map slot 2. This stuff is kind of hard coded.
