Gearbox Rewards Guy Who Held Onto Duke Nukem Forever Pre-order For 10 Years

Many times I tell people that patience pays off, and this is a story which proves that. A guy known as Slash000 pre-ordered Duke Nukem Forever from Gamestop all the way back in 2001, flash forward to 2011 and surprisingly Gamestop actually still honored the pre-order regardless of the fact that it has been ten years. Developer Gearbox actually got wind of Slash’s faithfulness and decided to reward him for it. As you can see from the image above Slash000 got sent a shit ton of Duke Nukem goodies, here is an actual list of contents that Gearbox sent to him.
