Brian, you sound familiar. Have you been here before?
I doubt a boycott will do much good anyway. At this point I think we
should drag George Broussard before a congressional inquiry and
interrogate him in public! *sigh*

How did you conclude THAT from the webpage?

It just means that DNF is just *one* of the games they may offer.
I checked the Main page and there is NO mention of Duke Nukem Forever
..aside from some Shadow Warrior maps by some DNF mapmaker.
