New information over at Gamespot.com was published on the website today, 3D Realms is still alive! Of course, even before i read the actual article, i thought "that might mean Duke 4 might still come out!"
Today, 3D Realms hit back at Take-Two in the form of a statement sent out by CEO George Broussard to several media outlets, including GameSpot. In it, the company defiantly declares that it is not going out of business.
"Despite rumors and statements to the contrary, 3D Realms (3DR) has not closed and is not closing," reads the statement. "3DR retains ownership of the Duke Nukem franchise. Due to lack of funding, however, we are saddened to confirm that we let the Duke Nukem Forever (DNF) development team go on May 6, while we regroup as a company. While 3DR is a much smaller studio now, we will continue to operate as a company and continue to license and co-create games based upon the Duke Nukem franchise."
The article goes on to explain that Take-Two is trying to purchase the franchise of the Duke Nukem games for a cheap price. You can read the article here.
