Duke Nukem Forever Surprisingly Profitable

Though flagged by critics as a major letdown, the long-awaited Duke Nukem Forever was able to maintain its near mythological status to win the hearts of more gamers than you might think. Perhaps vindicating statements from Gearbox Software boss Randy Pitchford, the game was certainly a success in the eyes of Take-Two. While many complained about shoddy work, the game was able to put in a black figure for Take-Two’s ledgers, enough to ensure a success.

I expected it to make money when I saw that it was actually selling a decent amount.

If I started selling a good amount of sandwiches with ingredients I found in the garbage can and just added a little bit of my own spicy mustard to cover the rotting smell, then I would make a good profit too.

No you wouldn't actually. After the lawsuits you would be in the negative drinking your life away in the gutter of your local pub.

Always bet on the duke.
Always.

I want that this Duke game would be profitable a lot, so they could make a real new Duke game from scratch :)

donniebaseball5379d ago

Well, Take-Two has said that they do plan on doing more Duke.

A poor game profitable and huge anticipation. A sequel is almost confirmed.

It will be a bargain bin title or most likely rental for me.

RyuDrinksTheDew5379d ago

good, now we can get a proper game!

punisher995379d ago

I don't know. I thought that in this day and age. Us gamers would want something with more substance instead of mindless shooting games. The guy's first name Duke, last name is Nukem. Is there anyway possible way it could get any cheesier than that? :)

oh wow, excuse to lay ppl off

GAMERJET174d ago

The fired Rock Star Games staff were likely at-will employees, which means they could be terminated by the employer for almost any reason. Doesn't make it right, but it is what is.

There is no such thing as this in the UK. You can never just fire someone for no reason.
