Duke Nukem Forever Demo Keys Showing Up for Borderlands Owners in Steam

by Brian Leahy, Oct 13, 2010 10:20pm PDT

Though access to the forthcoming Duke Nukem Forever demo was originally planned to be included for those that purchased the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition, users are finding demo keys linked to their Steam accounts if they had purchased the game before October 12.

Duke Nukem Forever

To check and see if you have a key, find Borderlands in your Steam Library and click the "CD Key" link in the game pane. If you've got the key, it should show up as "Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club Code". It can be redeemed here, though the demo is not yet available.

Read our impressions of Duke Nukem Forever from PAX 2010 while you wait for the demo to drop.

I feel guilty now, since I've said before that I'm not terribly intrigued by this game and sure enough, I have one of those CD keys. Guess I'll have to try it or I wonder if it's possible to give it away (anyone know)? I'll gladly put it up for some cool Shack person to have via a contest or something...

This is a pretty nice gesture from Gearbox, actually. Originally I was pissed that they essentially gave the shaft to people who already gave Gearbox their money for Borderlands + DLC. This makes it right.

To anyone still thinking this is a cheap marketing ploy - it could be worse. They could have made the demo exclusive to Borderlands owners, but at least they're releasing it to everyone soon after.
