Duke does kinda fall between the cracks nowadays. It's the game that is between Doom and Quake so it tends to get forgotten by mainstream audience. Blood and Shadow Warrior are even more "forgotten" than Douk.

Duke 3D is one of my all time favorite games because it's the "missing link" between 2D and 3D first person shooters. I wish the modding community of Douk was more like Doom community, maybe then we could actually get some new shit once in a while. Surely Douk has mods, but when you look at all those mindblowing WADs that are pretty much brand new games made by fans, you realize how vanilla and pale Duke 3D mods really are.

Duke is also currently going through licensing hell so it's not like newcomers can even obtain a legal copy of Duke Nukem 3D to see what the hell it's about.

Gladly I managed to snatch all the Douk games on steam before they were removed due to contract change, so now I have a steam full of rare Duke Nukem titles that may or may not return.

I hate Randy Pitchfork, the devil incarnate, but if the future Douk games are good then I guess I could just stop giving a fuck. Though DNF was so shit and completely missed the point that made Duke 3D so good, any future Douk games should be exceptionally good if they want to redeem the name of Duke Nukem.

Also, didn't the fan remake of Duke Nukem 3D get canceled thanks to Gearbox and Randy Ditchlord lawyers for being better looking than Duke Nukem Forever? It's so absurd that a simple thing like a video game that gives us so much enjoyment has this kind of bureaucracy mumbo jumbo drama on the background.
