Duke Nukem Forever Now Gone Forever
It looks like some bets will have to be paid up, for anyone insisting that 3D Realms’ infamously delayed game would see the light of day. Reports from Shacknews say that the developer has closed its doors for good, finally pulling the Duke off life support.
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.Phone calls and e-mails to various 3D Realms veterans have thus far gone unanswered, with publishing partner Take-Two likewise unavailable for comment.
3D Realms was founded in 1987 by Scott Miller and George Broussard. The company had infamously been working on Duke Nukem Forever over the past 13 years.
Let’s be honest with ourselves: For a 13 year developed game, it probably wouldn’t have lived up to its lofty expectations.
