GearBox to Honor Duke Pre-Orders?

GearBox is in talks with the retailers that sold pre-orders for Duke Nukem Forever over finding a way to honor those ten-plus year old promissory notes. To be clear, the pre-orders were a $10 fee and the retailers such as Game Stop kept the cash for themselves. So unless you got a refund, this money is in escrow and not the retailers property.

GearBox understands that the negativity surrounding DNF and the wait that has ensued will be upon their shoulders, regardless of the fact that they were not the ones responsible for any of it. Although you could call this press control, it's nice to see the company trying to right the wrongs of their predecessors. It also makes you wonder what the Game Stops of the world did with that money for the last decade.
