Are there available mods for playing DOOM 2016 and/or DOOM Eternal over the network without licenses? I have no problem creating a VPN to connect everyone. However, as far as I can tell there is no native support for local multiplayer, or even splitscreen.

Now that Denuvo is no longer included, I would be fine with buying one license for either game if it makes things easier by a significant margin. As far as I can tell though, each user would need a license, which is infeasible.

As a secondary concern, how do the two games' multiplayer features compare? I understand DOOM 2016 was better reviewed at the time, but is it worth the older other mechanics? I find DOOM Eternal's singleplayer campaign to be quite good.

AFAIK there is no way to play he multiplayer locally, Doom Eternal has an online fix via MS Store tha you can download from online-fix.me. As for the multiplayer features, 2016 is more like the multiplayer mode in the OG Doom, Eternal is a 2v1 2 Demons versus 1 Slayer. They are very different so you cant really compare them.
