I find playing the role of the marine in Doom to be pretty intense. Therefore Doom is an RPI, and you would have no qualms about labeling it as such. If you would, then we need some sort of criteria other than the base definition of the acronym. Whether it's an elite cabal of crack linguists that define this criteria, or we merely recognize what people tend to think of when the term is used, I think quite a few would agree that going completely by the base definition would be a misrepresentation of Doom's gameplay.
