> To achieve anything similar to what Quake and Doom were at their time...

Most of the games are by no means as important as Wolfenstein/Doom/Quake were when they first came out. id software laid the foundation for the modern FPS genre and defined the way the industry evolved for years to come.

Instagram is just a dumbed-down flickr with a mobile app.



My personal favorite modern parallel is SpaceX vs Facebook. Social network that sells ads vs the stars.
