    3D Realms Sued by Take Two Interactive...

    http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl...9/05/15/065205

    Basically, T2 is suing them for lying and taking their money.

    Very intriguing how this is all unraveling.

    funny quote:

    This is a relief.

    I was afraid that the most famous vaporware in the history of computing was about to really evaporate. Now that this is going on, this should keep hopes alive for at least another five years.

    Yeah, I too think that Take Two needs to STFU.

    >>> Did Take Two give 3DR that $12 million for development <<<

    No. We didn't get a penny of that money. This, along with so much else, is 100% spin, being eaten up by those who have no clue whatsoever. But, we cannot talk yet. We will, soon...

    T2 probably wants to force a settlement where T2 gets all the development assets. It's clear that 3DR doesn't have that kind of money.

    looks like someone is losing creative control over their baby
    You can ask for any old woman

    You can ask for a pillar of poison
    You can ask for sheep and shavers

    When did they sue, though? Before or after the closure? Just because we heard about it after doesn't mean it didn't happen first....

    This is very interesting. Take Two paid for publishing rights, yet 3D Realms didn't get any of it. The question is then, who got it?!

    And in any case, dammit! I still want my Duke Nukem: Forever! :lol:

    Take Two bought the publishing rights from Infogrames (or GT Interactive, don't remember).
