A digital game manual discovered on Steam for the upcoming Duke Nukem Forever release features some information regarding Apple’s App Store that suggests the title could be headed to iOS devices.
Starjimstar from the Touch Arcade forums found that at the bottom of all the legal text in the game’s documentation, there’s some “Apple App Store Additional License Terms.”
While this reference could mean that the game is actually headed to the Mac App Store, and that someone left the word ‘Mac’ out, I would have thought that Gearbox would just release the title through Steam for Mac as opposed to the Mac App Store. Also, if that’s the case, how would you explain this line:
The license to the Software is a non-transferable license to use the Software only on an iPhone or iPod touch that you own or control.
While the original Duke Nukem release is already available on iOS devices, it seems Gearbox could be bringing the latest Duke Nukem title into our palms as well. Otherwise, why would there be any mention of the App Store?

When you look up vaporware in the dictionary it has a picture of duke nukem!
if it does come to iOS, it probably wont be the same version in the consoles. Maybe like a Duke Nukem Forever Lite version? iOS wont be able to handle games like the console versions.
Possibly the Mac App Store?
Hahaha, color me stupid, didn’t see the line about iPhone… please ignore the electrons above
