How embarassing. I mean, they "worked" 12 years on it, and now they have to close their doors. L0ligaz!

 

Only hope is that Take2 could give them some funds to get DNF finished. Not that I really care anymore that much...

3D Realms is dead? Go get T-Ray Obsidian! Now!

[Deadly_Nightshade]

Lulz. They should releases it as freeware or, better yet, abandonware.

 

EDIT: Also, didn't ID, or rather the guys who became ID, make Commander Keen and not 3D Realms?

Honestly, why haven't they got a credit? (oh, pun intended). But still, it sounded like the game was approaching completion fast, so it shouldn't be too hard to get a publisher deal. Take2 should throw some money at them so that it can be completed.

[Niten_Ryu]

Grats 3drealms. You managed to leech money for 12 years. There's lesson somewhere in there but in computer games biz it's already forgotten

[steelfiredragon]

whoah, looks like the aliens got all the babes and Duke got his own size 13 boots stuck up his butte at last

[Syraxis]

Did anyone seriously expect this to ever get released? Twelve years gentlemen, twelve long years.

Well, since the Broussard admitted last year, or two years ago, that they had too little time to finish DNF since they were too busy with playing WoW.

 

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Another one bites the dust. How sad.

 

NEXT!

[CoM_Solaufein]

Forever.

[Gorgon]

The legend continues. It will find a way to almost get finished, again. Uwe Boll will make the movie.

Now it all finally makes sense! Epic can be traced back to the Illuminati. Their Unreal Engine is merely a test of a significantly more advanced technology that will be used to install NWO. Yes, the pieces are finally coming together!

[Morgoth]

I wonder how they managed to stay alive that long without outside funding anyway? I mean do these guys even have an accountant? They surely should have seen that coming earlier...

That has to be one of the most ridiculous articles that i have read this year.

[Nightshape]

Some people have no humour!

[Tigranes]

I think, actually, that it's a testament to 3D Realms' amazing accounting / negotiation ability that they've been able to survive for so long.

[TwinkieGorilla]

has anybody said "about 'effing time!" yet? 'cause if not, i will right now. waiting for this to be over all these years was like waiting for Brett Favre to stay retired (and hey, i'm a damn cheesehead here).

[Darth InSidious]

Well, there was Prey...

Apogee did publish them but Keen was idSoft

[Morgoth]

Since Take2 has the publishing rights, they just could buy the assets and let Irrational Games finish it.

[cronicler]

Wouldn't that be Irrational?

[Promethean]

Irrational's already working on something
