3D Realms is gone... and Duke Nukem Forever may actually never be released now instead of just probably never being released. 3D Realms, along with iD Software (John Carmack and the other guys who made DOOM) invented shareware and pretty much single-handedly crafted the PC game market as we know it. Also, they made Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Prey, and one of my personal favorites as a kid, Blake Stone, a.k.a. Wolfenstein in space. Is this another case of the "recession-proof" video game industry being impacted by the recession? Or was 3d Realms merely demolished by its own practical joke-like existence? "When's this new game coming out, it seems like it's been delayed for years." "Probably right after Duke Nukem Forever HAHAHAHA!" Jerks.
The sad part is that 3D Realms was still planning on bringing DNF out... If you got all 200 achievement points in the recently revitalized Duke Nukem 3D game that was released on XBLA, you unlocked two screenshots for the game, proving that it was still in production after first being announced about 12 years ago. DNF is going to be the coolest vaporware since that hamster game that was announced for the Sega 32X. Remember that? No? Do you even remember the system? It had DOOM and Virtua Fighter on it, and it was cool. So was Duke Nukem. Sigh...
