Gearbox files lawsuit against 3D Realms over ‘Duke Nukem’ again
Gearbox Software has once again filed a lawsuit against 3D Realms over a Duke Nukem dispute.Gearbox’s latest lawsuit against 3D Realms stems from the latter’s failure to mention that it did not own the music used in Duke Nukem 3D when Gearbox bought the rights to the franchise in 2010. Last year, Bobby Prince, the composer for the series, filed a suit against Gearbox over the use of his music in Gearbox’s 20th-anniversary version of the game that was released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One in 2016.Now, Gearbox is countersuing Apogee Software (which owns 3D Realms) and co-founders Scott Miller and George Broussard for an alleged breach of contract in relation to the sale of the Duke Nukem IP a decade ago.
