Duke Nukem 3d: 20th Anniversary World Tour

Gearbox and 3D Realms have settled their lawsuit over who owns the rights to Duke Nukem, and the house that Borderlands built has come up out on top.

Co-ordinate to a joint statement, "Gearbox Software, 3D Realms and Interceptor Entertainment accept resolved their differences; the parties have voluntarily ended all litigation between them," and, "Gearbox Software…wishes to go on the terms of its settlement confidential except to ostend that Gearbox Software is the total and rightful owner of the Duke Nukem franchise."

Which is all very tidy and polite. Simply I like to call up that the terms of this confidential settlement at one point involved something a bit more than like this:

Randy Pitchford (Gearbox): I want to hear you say information technology.

Mike Nielsen (3D Realms): This is too far, Randy. It's too far. Don't you lot have a soul left in your trunk?

Pitchford: Say it, Mike. Say it to me. This is what we agreed on.

Nielsen [Crying]: Hail…hail to the male monarch, baby.

And and then Randy Pitchford donned a Burger Male monarch crown, somehow rolled the rights to Duke Nukem into a cigar, and smoked it. While flexing.

Randy Pitchford after the lawsuit settlement, probably.

Did it happen? I estimate we'll never know.

Either style, this means Gearbox is open up to making new Duke Nukem games. The statements from both 3D Realms and Interceptor say, "And every bit big Duke fans, we're excited to see what Gearbox has in store for the King," which…well, excited isn't the word I'd use. Later the sin-confronting-humanity that was Duke Nukem Forever, I'd be pretty okay with the Duke resting in peace. But there's a feeling in my gut that Gearbox has other plans.

Information technology also means the Interceptor/3D Realms Duke Nukem Mass Destruction project (the ane that kicked off this lawsuit to brainstorm with) is dead forever—which isn't also large a deal, considering they've already turned the basic of the game into Bombshell. That game's scheduled to release sometime this year.
