Take-Two Sues 3D Realms for Failing to Deliver Duke Nukem Forever

Demi Fiend · May 17th, 2009

Update: Documents for the case have appeared online, revealing that, among other things, Take-Two is demanding a copy of the Duke Nukem Forever source code.

Original: Take-Two Interactive, publisher of Duke Nukem Forever, has filed suit against the remains of Apogee Ltd./3D Realms for failing to deliver the long-awaited title.

Take-Two claims that an agreement to finish the shooter was breached when 3D Realms shut down development last week. At the time of the studio's closing, Duke Nukem Forever had been in development for over 12 years.

So it seems like they really are not pulling a publicity stunt.

Maybe if they do get the source code they can ask for a copyright extension ala Sonny Bono's extension to Disney, and our Great Grandchildren will be able to pick up the game assuming PCs and Gamestops still exist?

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

At least I gave them 6 months to produce a decent PlayStation to Dreamcast adapter... I finally did get one from another company, but a few games, namely Daytona USA, don't like that adapter for some reason...

I actually use the original DC controller (you know, the one that's almost as large as the console).... kind of got used to it.
Did you ever get one of the Bleemcasts? They're awesome, you know
