And I am pretty shure we the true and faithful will be awarded free copys
and the unwashed agnostics will have to buy it!

Sad day for Duke fans (and many many many other games).

"A very reliable source with inside knowledge of Duke Nukem Forever 
developer 3D Realms today told Shacknews that the company has been shut 
down.
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 name. Employees of both companies have already been let 
go.

Phone calls and e-mails to various 3D Realms veterans have thus far gone 
unanswered, with publishing partner Take-Two likewise unavailable for 
comment. "

Well I guess it looked unlikely since about y2k.

Reverse! Nuns!

Shut down?  HA, what took so long?

Their website was nothing but hype about their old games. Anyone who stuck 
around until the end shouldn't have been surprised they were eventually let 
go.

I still remember promises of a new Duke sometime back in 1996 and from that 
point forward the excuses were one after another. The only chance of 
3drealms and Apogee surviving was if DOS was resurrected again and the 
preferred operating system.


Good by and good riddance.

It's been out for years so you might expect it to be on file sharing.

No! I was talking about DNF! And that seems not te be out for years.
And not just downloading DN3D but buying it may speed up the process.
