We all know that the current  info provided by the lens screen on some Z lenses is minimal at best.Do you think that Nikon has plans to add additional info options in the future via a firmware upgrade?

I think aperture, FL and focus scale information is all about what most people would need.But speaking of firmware updates, I'd rather see NIkon make it possible to see the FL in the view finder/LCD while you're composing (and this could be done since we know the camera can get the FL from the lens when you snap the picture, so why not make this data available in "live" view for lenses that don't have an OLED display).

But I don’t think such firmware is in the stars. While it’s too early to know, the OLED window that is on 14-24, 24-70 f2.8, the 70-200, the 100-400, the 50 1.2, and the MC 105 f2.8 may be the only lenses to have display. It has not been put on the the exotic teles or ( very importantly) the 24-120 f4. When we get the 85 1.2S, we’ll know more.

Has anyone figured out how to run Doom on the oled panel?

I believe the overlay has predefined characters and shapes, much like the old style LED displays, which fixes what can be shown,  in which case it is not possible to add this improvement.
