No surprise at all. Calling it Duke Nukem Forever 2013 ... plus pissing on them directly in the vid (though they deserve it).
Concerning the mod I doubt they'd win a lawsuit about that, but of course for private persons it's too risky to fight against a bunch of lawyers.

I would highly suggest not getting arrogant or aggressive about it... just figure out where the grievances are and where the flexibility is and figure out if that still works for you or not.

Hmm I don't remember seeing Gus anywhere in DNF when I played it
Besides, just call him Rus and suddenly you have an original character.
Edit: If they still want to shut this down. I'll make a thread over at Gearbox trying to draw attention to it. I don't care if I get banned; haven't visited the place in over a year. I'll try and be tactful about it if I do.
But I'd be willing to bet that the person who flagged it down at Gearbox doesn't even know it's a Duke 3D mod! It doesn't mention it in the video description. And probably nobody at Gearbox has even played Duke 3D.

It is unfair as hell. Duke Nukem 3d mod with Duke Nukem is getting C&D? What kind of bullshit is that!

As Gambini said: "hehe you all fell in my bobby trap".
I'm actually not sure what pisses me off more! The CnD or the prank. At least with the prank we can still play it...

Having just read the cease and desist letter, I would know it's a fake from the getgo because screenshots and media would actually be copyright infringement, not trademark infringement. Trademark is only for logos and symbols.

Well that's the last time I email gearbox on the mod community behalf.

It took less than 40 min to explode!
I would not have expected half the replies it got in ten hours or something

Good prank, though thinking about that Steam account thing should have made us suspicious.

They can still C&D, you know. Technically it is DNF being done in a game not owned by Gearbox.

You underestimate the dedication around here when something shows promise of actually coming to life that captures anything of the mythological nature of the old DNF stuff.

Nah. I just didn´t expect to people exploding in emails without a consensus or at least some time to calm down the initial rage.
Well, as LeoD said, Now I´m really exposed to counter-pranks. But remember I´m the living proof of dedication to the mythological DNF stuff . Don´t get all mad now at me!

Sweet vengeance.
Seriously though, coming from gearbox I was seriously thinking it was real and I was already suggesting to rename the game (Duky Nukum Whatever).
Not cool man, not cool.
PS: As NukemDave said, because of your joke it's now a real possibility.
