They did have something unique.  It really is a crime that they wouldn't 
sell the franchise to someone who would use it.  I really don't understand 
where they're getting money to eat.  I know Max Payne 1 and 2 got them some 
cash, but DNF would be huge, even if it was mediocre.  They've constantly 
missed the boat.  They seem to be like the guy who never buys a hardware 
upgrade, cause a better piece will be out next month/year/decade for less. 
Several excellent games have come along, and I'd say they where as good in 
different ways. (hl/hl2/deusx/maxpayne/ss2/farcry)  But Duke remains 
special, and noone (except tribes)  has had a decent Jetpack.  Why is this 
so F&^%ing hard?  None had the over-the-top humor and fun quotient.  Damn, 
this really pisses me off...
