So after he said that there will be more details later, he actually did give some further details in some posts he made on shacknews like some of you already know.
And he said:

Now what I Noticed in particular is how he said that Gearbox merely ASSISTED Tryptych which by all means is safe to say that is still 3drealms's DNF studio under another name but with fewer devs! George even said that Tryptych was made in order to juggle through the legal matters in order to resume development on DNF during the trial!
So this officially makes Tryptych the 3drealms DNF studio for crisis situations like that trial!
So what I understand from all of this is that Gearbox is just assisting Triptych aka 3drealms DNF studio with fewer devs.
If this is the case then why the hell did Gearbox make all the show for DNF yesterday? Why was Gearbox allowed to pimp DNF for the first time and why did Randy Pitchford brag so much with DNF when in reality all they did was to ASSIST and blow the dust from some some corners?
Am I wrong to say that the ones who should have presented DNF yesterday should have been 3drealms with Triptych have Gearbox just mentioned a bit too?
I am really confused at what is the actual situation here. And could it be that Gearbox has now taken for granted even the shit elements that 3drealms was prototyping in DNF and now 3drealms can't ask Gearbox to remove them from the game?
The way I see it, 3drealms temporarily decided to use the 2 weapons system and before the managed to finally decide upon that, the trial happened, then Gearbox got the game and now when Georoge is having second thoughts over that 2 weapon feature he can't get it removed because Gearbox has taken full control over the game and nobody cares about 3drealm's opinion even if the entire game is their own work... OMFG MIND = BLOWN!
The situation is so complicated that it almost makes me think that DNF will get released to show exactly why it couldn't get released in all these years..
And you know what? I think George knows it too. I think he would even be willing to admit that if it wasn't for some cash. I appreciate his excuses and how he doesn't bull shit when he is asked something serious about negative points in dnf, which is why I suspect that he has a certain amount of issues with the game too and he is just at a point where he can't tell Gearbox to remove them!
