Not to respond to a joke with a serious statement, but from what I understand, they didn't sell to the high bidder, they sold to Gearbox because of Pitchford's relationship with 3D Realms made them think Gearbox would be right for the job, which was a pretty respectable move. And I do think Gearbox is a good choice as far as being able to make this the game it would have been, had George Broussard not been a bumbling incompetent.Originally Posted by Yoshi

So much ****ing semen.
A company that doesn't shut down fan made games and actually supports them!?

A fan made revision of 1996 PC shooter Duke Nukem 3D will be released after Duke Nukem license holder Gearbox Software gave the project approval.
Duke Nukem: Next-Gen, as it's called, is built upon Gears of War developer Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3.
The game will include a three episode single-player campaign and a full-fledged multiplayer component, and will be released free to all, according to a post on the official Gearbox forum.
"I contacted George Broussard and Scott Miller [of original Duke Nukem creator 3D Realms], to start a conversation about the project," project lead and level designer Frederik "Fresch" Schreiber explained.
"The shots managed to convince Scott Miller to a certain degree, but the project was only doable if Take-Two would approve it.
"Thinking that Gearbox might have a better relationship to Take-Two than 3D Realms, I contacted AdamF, who passed me through to PJ Putnam, vice president and general counsel of Gearbox Software.
"Luckily Gearbox was interested in supporting the project, which resulted in a personal non-commercial license to Duke Nukem." Boom.
DNNG will be released "when it's done", but fans will be able to play the "first official milestone release" – a multiplayer Duke match test - ahead of completion. Screens are below.
Gearbox is of course hard at work finishing up work on Duke Nukem Forever, set for release on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year.
Most companies support fan games. It's really mostly Square and Activision that are dickbags.

Well, the King's Quest fan game came out, so you need to give Activision a bit of credit. It's mainly Square that shuts that shit down in earnest.

If The Silver Lining didn't get ok'd by Vivendi in the fist place, I doubt Activision would have allowed it.

Also: Nintendo.
There's like 800 Mario, Zelda, and Metroid fangames.

True but I seem to recall them shutting some projects down in the past.
