Seriously? What the fuck is going on with this IP?
Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction "All Out Of Gum aka Gearbox foils Interceptor's plan again"

If you ask me, the new "update" to the site would have gone live at the end of the counter if that article wasn't released since Interceptor know about the lawsuit according to that Facebook comment. I don't think it is a "hoax" either.

So what does a P on a triangle sign stand for then? Must be something Kyrr related I guess...

P for poop? BRILLIANT. They are acknowledging the fact that they ripped off the plot from Dookie Nukem.

Okay. This HAS to be a joke. I cannot believe that 3D Realms would go on and give Interceptor a go on a Duke game without holding any sort of license for Duke Nukem, other than the oldies..? This has to be a joke of some sort..

Personally, I think this is about someone else getting to release what might be a good Duke game before Gearbox has had a chance. If they own the IP outright then they have the right to stop this from happening, but secretly I can't help but feel like this is a strike at outside competition getting somewhere first because Gearbox hasn't yet had their shot at reviving the Duke Nukem franchise properly.
Either shit or get off the pot, Pitchford; Borderlands 2 is soon going to be out of DLC, the crew that worked on those will possibly be without a current task at hand and it's time you either make a move on the IP with a new title or hand it over to developers with more open schedules.

This is what we will hear from here on in: "Interceptors Duke game was soooo good that Gearbox became afraid that it would over shadow their own effort, so they shut it down".
But seriously you couldn't make this shit up.

Pretty sure I hear a Pigcop at the end. Maybe all that noise is just the sound of Shovelware, 3DR and Interceptor, gang-raping what's left of Duke Nukem.
Shovelware: "Yeah get his legs"
3DR: "I got his arms"
Interceptor: "Hold him still, I'm goin in dry!"

LOOOOLLLLL
Since they knew (or at least the whole world except them knew) that they couldn't release that game from the beggining,there is only 1 logic explanation I see behind this farce.
They wanted to make a new game,and thought of using the Duke name early on,just in hope to attract people's attention because Duke is an old franchise and they didn't have money to spend for marketing.
The game sounded weird and unlikely from the beggining: Duke Nukem RPG ???
They will probably say that they will switch the sprites/models of characters,and show a game that neither plays or looks to Duke anyway.

Well, ultimately the end result of this was to aggravate what little Duke Nukem fan community there is for the $LONG_INT time again.
I guess we can safely assume this project is canned. Before it even had a chance to show anything whatsoever.
Even more is that the general public doesn't give a single damn about the franchise at this point.
Although, considering DN:MD descended out of a preliminary project (Pathfinder, was it?), I guess Interceptor could just retain all the assets and everything, but merely go back to the original title and just call it an "action RPG in the spirit of the Duke Nukem games". Sure, it wouldn't actually be called a Duke Nukem game, but it'd still give people something to muck around with and it's better than no game at all.

I feel sorry for the people at Interceptor who made all the Duke content.
It's not going to be that easy. They've probably done marketing material, paid people to make all the Duke stuff - this isn't a mod - artists need to eat too. Just 'changing the assets' won't be cheap - if they bother to do it.
Of course, that is if they ever did any Duke content. Cynical me says that maybe they did know it would get shut down and the whole thing was engineered from the beginning to be something else. The whole Duke angle was solely for publicity.
I hope I'm not right.
Fucking cursed. Damn straight.

It would nice to know what Gearbox actually has rights to. Did they buy exclusive rights to all *new* Duke content or do they only have rights to future Duke FPS titles only?
In either case, the boys over at 3DR are looking kinda stupid for not even talking to GBX in the first place before giving the go ahead on DNMD to Interceptor. That way nobodies time would have been wasted.
