1. hard to find at all

The most recent price I've seen for a Steam key is about $120+ USD. That was months ago too.
Usually tradable copies are worth more too, because you can prove you have it. Whereas a key can be used or fake. I'd bet one would need a few hundred bucks, plus being lucky enough to find someone willing to part with their copy

Devolver need to strike a deal with Gearbox to get Megaton back on stores, including GoG.

In the past, Randy Pitchford said he was open to making a release that includes all versions of Duke made, including Megaton. Hopefully, there's a way he'd be willing to release it now, possibly on its own.

I don't know if anyone knows this, and it probably involved some shady back-room action, but an obscure gaming platform called Zoom which is trying to compete with GoG has acquired, somehow, a perpetual license to distribute all the old duke games including the side-scrollers, and their atomic edition has the expansions though they offer no support for them. You will need to break out a source port when you purchase if you should decide to. Their library is slowly growing and has games that I haven't even heard of from way back when. Be warned some of the games listed are more than likely straight garbage and were garbage when they first came out.

How they managed a perpetual license when everyone else had duke pulled from the market, I have no clue. I am going to grab them and gut the necessary files for Eduke32. I also have atomic on GoG, but missed out on the other titles. Apparently Gearbox didn't want their stuff distributed without DRM. But they can't do anything about Zoom as the license to distribute is "perpetual" apparently.

If anyone has any background information on the circumstances for this whole side-show, I would appreciate an explanation. One theory I have is that Zoom might be operated by someone close to Randy. But I am grasping at straws right now.

What do you need citations to? The theory on Zoom is only a theory, and I am not the only one suspecting a back handed exclusivity deal. Other than that, do you want a link to Zoom? There is a rather large thread on GoG with people discussing this. According to comments being passed around there, Gearbox didn't want Duke titles to be sold from DRM free sources. The license to sell Duke is apparently perpetual where it pertains to Zoom-platform as they have not taken it down, or so the rumors go.

It could be either that Zoom scored exclusivity to distribute the old games, or they actually have a perpetual license and gearbox is left to go pounding sand. The word I am hearing is that Zoom somehow got perpetual distribution rights before the games were merc'd on most platforms. Otherwise, the games are still available on the "Zoom platform". This store has an awful layout like GoG first did when it started. And it updates slowly, advertises DRM free games, and has a slow growing list of indie titles. It either shares it's name with Zoom video conferencing, or Zoom is trying to branch out in a rather bizarre manner.

But the old atomic edition with the expansions are still being sold from this source, and it is the only source known to still be "legitimately" selling the title along with the side-scrollers (so far). I do not know why this is, and would be very interested to know.

A lot of discussion about this little known platform is about the fact that they are just about the only ones that have the old Duke games still for sale whereas everyone else had to cease selling them. A lot of the stuff they have is stuff I do not recognize outside of indie games like Deponia and a few old classics that are on GoG like Total Annihilation. A lot of shovel-ware.

Other rumors say that Scott Miller of 3dRealms was involved with Zoom platform at some point.
