In a Game Arena Interview taken at the ManaBar in Brisbane during the exclusive Duke Nukem Forever event ,much was discussed between the GA team, Randy Pitchford and his handler, the VP of Marketing Steve Gibson.
Towards the end of the vid they hinted at a motif to implement dedicated servers into the games mystery multilayer component that has has little coverage over the past few months during its unveiling.
From what i understand dedicated servers in the pc gaming world is a trend that if not given some love may soon die out with such big names like Modern warfare 2 complete lack of the feature and Black ops's plain annoying rent-able system so its nice to see GearBox acknowlage the issue.
Much else was also discussed like the fact that the credits will be a fairly long piece of the game given there intent to credit nearly every one who has had some form of involvement in the 12 year long DNF production. Over all this is a really good interview compared to the rushed interviews with Randy in particular, at Pax and at other events. But it was great to see him elaborate more on his passion for the franchise.

Note:
Due to Randy's passion he talked quite a bit in the interview and so it was cut down a bit but still running at a solid 13 minutes is a fairly solid interview and a great watch.

The fact that a thread is required when dedicated servers are hinted for the PC version shows the sad state of PC game developers.

Thanks for the link , it was not noticed by the duke community ( or only me ) until now.

Big threads on gearbox and duke4.net forums about this , yes the community also catched this , dedicated servers and modding tools are like 99% sure.
