>> Update 3: 3D Realms webmaster Joe Siegler has commented on the shut down,

>> Siegler's post also reflects the unexpected nature of the situation, as

>> Update 2: Duke Nukem Forever publisher Take-Two has confirmed to
>> Shacknews that it was not funding ongoing development of the 3D Realms
>> project.
>> "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 a prepared statement.
>> "In addition, Take-Two continues to retain the publishing rights to Duke
>> Nukem Forever," he added.
>> Update: Apogee Software and Deep Silver have issued a statement to
>> Shacknews, confirming that the situation at 3D Realms has not affected
>> the development of Frontline Games' upcoming handheld Duke Nukem Trilogy.
>> "Deep Silver and Apogee Software are not affected by the situation at 3D

>> Original story: A very reliable source close to Duke Nukem Forever
>> developer 3D Realms today confirmed to Shacknews that the development
>> studio has shut down.
>> The closure came about as a result of funding issues, our source
>> explained, with the shut down said to affect both 3D Realms and the
>> recently resurrected Apogee. Employees of both entities have already been
>> let go.
>> Phone calls and e-mails to various 3D Realms veterans have thus far gone
>> unanswered, with 3D Realms publishing partner Take-Two and Apogee partner
>> Deep Silver likewise unavailable for comment. One 3D Realms spokesperson
>> declined to comment when reached.
>> 3D Realms was founded in 1987 by Scott Miller and George Broussard, and
>> was best known for its Duke Nukem series of shooters starring the
>> titular, bubblegum-lacking hero. The studio had infamously been working
>> on Duke Nukem Forever, the next flagship franchise entry, for over 12
>> years.
>> A final push to release Duke Nukem Forever began in 2007, marked by a
>> short teaser starring the in-game hero that was released late that year.
>> As recent as January 2009, company steward George Broussard wrote on his
>> Twitter feed that he was visiting Take-Two to show off the title.
