I have to be honest - i think it very well could be a stunt. What better way to sell a game than to make the whole world go "OH NOES! I NO CAN HAS DUKEZ!" and the release the game ?

Theres speculation it was bought via proxy or anonymously by a 3DR employee who knew what was happening and wanted to keep the project going.
Or that it is all just a big publicity stunt.
Personally I don't care so long as we get Duke Nukem Forever properly on track.
If it was, that explains why they took down savedukenukem.com's donation so fast, so that they won't make extra money of a game they're not even selling

Well another day another game studio has closed up - Factor 5 this time. http://kotaku.com/5253800/factor-5-officially-shuttered
So that's the developer of my fave Amiga game now gone as well as the developer of my fave old PC game (Duke). Great!
