Kickstarter Crowdfunding scam, calling it. This is the team that lived for ten years on the money they were being paid to make a game that didn't actually get made until it was handed off to a new team, with the old one being fired.
As much as DNF was a mediocre product, it was self funded by 3drealms, and gearbox only applied polish to the game, it was already in the final stages of development when they got the ip.

But yeah i wont be throwing any money there way, shame i like the concept.
Source on the self funding? Everything I've heard about it says that they were signed to a publisher who was sending them money that they kept pissing away. Gearbox wound up finishing the game because said publisher finally got fed up with it.
