3D Realms shuts down! - OSM - 05-06-2009
Quote:The closure came about as a result of funding issues, our source explained, with the shut down said to affect both 3D Realms and the recently resurrected Apogee. Employees of both entities have already been let go.http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58519
Phone calls and e-mails to various 3D Realms veterans have thus far gone unanswered, with 3D Realms publishing partner Take-Two and Apogee partner Deep Silver likewise unavailable for comment.
3D Realms was founded in 1987 by Scott Miller and George Broussard, and was best known for its Duke Nukem series of shooters starring the titular, bubblegum-lacking hero. The studio had infamously been working on Duke Nukem Forever, the next flagship franchise entry, for the past 13 years.
A final push to release Duke Nukem Forever began in 2007, marked by a short teaser starring the in-game hero that was released late that year.
As recent as January 2009, company steward George Broussard wrote on his Twitter feed that he was visiting Take-Two to show off the title.
THE WAIT IS NOW FOREVER. FOREVER.

Shitty game is lost forever.
No one cares. It means the joke associated with it is rendered useless now... Ah well, now we get vaporware jokes. =D

Oh well
Does that mean their games become abandonware?

Apparently it's been bought by another company.
But seriously guys. It was meant to be an N64 release title. N64.

No wonder why it's been called duke nukem forever
they took that long to develop it
anyhow, concept art for DNF was released on the net just recently far as I know.
