Pitchford-Gibson Duke Nukem Forever Interview
So did Gearbox buy the Duke IP for $20 million? Randy might be hinting it. Check out the full interview here.
Randy: I'll tell you what, imagine you had $20 million, and you could use that to invest in any brand or any concept in the entire industry. Whether it's an existing brand or even something you even helped come up with. Imagine if you had that. I think that a lot of us who work in the industry might decide that Duke Nukem Forever is on the very risky end of the entire spectrum. So yes, of course those thoughts crossed the mind. But also, when you're in that moment, talking about that analogy, if you let that thought deter you from doing what you know is the right thing and also what you know your heart is telling you to do, you'll probably regret that for the rest of your life. And I don't live my life with any regrets, and the reason is because of the decisions I make.
If it's true, then that's roughly how much 3D Realms spent on the development of Duke Nukem Forever. Thanks Dukewatch!
