Thanks for the link, but that summary is terribly unprecise, not to say outright misleading. Better read the whole PR.

3DR thinks T2's suit is only bully tactics to get the IP. A small advance was paid in mid 2008, but it was in connection with another still unannounced game.

New fact: "The court denied Take-Two's request for a temporary restraining order."

incredible drama.

I'm all on 3drealm's side in this one . Although I kinda understand why take two is doing what it is doing. I hope 3drealms can pull itself on solid ground from this mess and continue developing DNF which I hope to play when I'm old and grey .

3D Realms might not be dead yet, but I'm pretty sure Duke Nukem Forever is.

In an article from www.pcgames.de I just read that Take 2 has shifted the release of an formerly unknown title called "Duke Begins" for 12 months into the future, and 3D Realms claims that this move kept 3DRealms from getting money from that game which they needed to pay royalties, debts or so.

Ever heard of Duke Nukem Syndrome? Apparently it's a fairly serious disease….
