That is precisely what happened.

I was merely framing it that the 2001 build was seemingly on the road to being a good, or at least faithful Duke Nukem game but management kept dictating changes to it to keep up with gaming fads. Eventually Gearbox just shoved an entirely different build out the door.

The 2001 build was victim to a lot of start-stop-start-stop development.
