Local multiplayer for DOOM Eternal/2016 (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Nucleus Co-Op doesn't list them as compatible, but perhaps request it to be supported and donate to them a copy of the game so they can work on it?

See https://www.splitscreen.me/docs/faq/#15--when-support-for-x-game

Mention Denuvo being removed as I think that's what prevented them from adding it in the past
