Duke Nukem Forever Developer Sinks Amidst Sea of Questions

Remember kids, sloth is one of humanity’s greatest vices. Practice it for too long – like, say, 12 years or so – and you might even incur some form of consequences. Today, said scythe finally fell atop Duke Nukem Forever developer 3D Realms, ending its storied run once and for all.
3D Realms webmaster Joe Siegler supplied the developer’s final gasp, simply saying, “It's not a marketing thing. It's true. I have nothing further to say at this time.”
However, Duke might not be down for the count just yet. Duke Nukem Forever publisher Take-Two issued a statement concerning the closure.
"We can confirm that our relationship with 3D Realms for Duke Nukem Forever was a publishing arrangement, which did not include ongoing funds for development of the title," said Take-Two VP of communications Alan Lewis.
"In addition, Take-Two continues to retain the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever," he added.
So maybe they’ll cart Duke’s half-assembled form over to some other developer. Or perhaps they’ll just develop the game internally. Who knows? For now, Take Two ain’t sayin’. We suppose, though, that it’ll be pretty easy to tell when/if Duke Nukem Forever finally kicks the bucket. After all, city-leveling tidal waves, lava geysers, and other such signs that the balance of earth has been irrevocably altered aren’t too difficult to spot.
thanks

Come on. This game better be freaking Earth shattering great. This game had better be so awesome that PC gaming will change forever with the release of Duke Nukem Take Forever.
Hell I could have learned how to program and design games and gotten pretty good at it in the many years that Duke Nukem Take Forever has been in development. Whole operating systems have been built from the ground up quicker than this one game.
I suppose this means I should quit waiting

for Daikatana II: The Enquickening to come out. Sigh. How about Mechwarrior 7: Microsoft Destroys Another Franchise edition? Or Mechwarrior 8: Defrauding the Defense Budgets of the Inner Sphere? With particles?
Come on...it's been 13

Come on...it's been 13 years! The target market for this game probably hasn't even played DN 3D.
Sorry, but the window closed a long time ago. No one cares anymore.

The dream is never over!
Ha. Ha. Someone will eventually take the project up again and it will eventually happen. If the community bass is strong enough to make an uproar about all this, it could happen sooner, then.

After such a long time they could have just used a new engine, and used the same maps/weapons/etc from the orginal Duke Nukem 3D game. Would anyone really have known the difference by now?

You can download the original game but with high resolution textures and the latest 3D effects. It's the same game but with up to date graphics. I have'nt played it but I did D/L it. It's available via Bit Torrent.
I should go ahead and see how it plays in Windows 7 RC. It's got a new installer too. It's practically a new game.

lack of funding seems like

lack of funding seems like it killed it. maybe they tried too hard to make the game too perfect, if it ever got that far. i am sure the Duke's series will be revamped eventually, just won't be now or in the immediate future. or it could tank like the recent installments of the Leisure Suit Larry games. back then those were real fun, buit now are just horrible messes or lame jokes and overused innuendo.

Hey, don't forget. TF2 took 10 years and look how well it's been recieved. Then again, it was packaged with 2 other games...and even now only costs about a 20bucks. Hmm yea...well, I forgot about Duke Nukem anyways lol
I've honestly given up hope

I've honestly given up hope on ever playing this game.

Multiple blogs and gaming sites are reporting it as confirmed including this guy who had a little chat with Joe.
