Duke Debate

3D Realms and Gearbox Software are having a legal debate over who owns the rights to Duke Nukem. My question, why? This is happening because 3D Realms is trying to make a new Duke Nukem game and gearbox is claiming the rights to the IP were sold to them before they made the most recent game in the series. So I get why the fight is happening, but really, the series is dead. The most recent game was released approximately 15 years after it started development and was really not great, not that anything with that length of a development cycle can live up to expectations. The character is dated, the idea is very old, and most of us who enjoyed the old games are kind of turned off of the series due to the disappointment named Forever. Let it die and be at peace.
