3D REALMS DESERVES GETTING SHUTDOWN

That's right, i said it. Why in God's name were they only focusing on one game that the world won't bother with. They had ridiculous business practices, it even seems like they lacked any development plan.

And, for the cherry on top for these stupid developers, take two offered them $500,000 as bonus if they could finish the game before 2006 (everyone knows what happened). The entire development staff are failures in my book, what a mediocre company.

What kind of losers were running that monkey house ?

I know there's already a thread about this. Plus, your text color is fucked.

Bonus points for using the descriptive term "monkey house".

As for the 3D Realms story, you may not remember but about a decade ago there was a little game called Diakatana that was over hyped and took too long to reach the marketplace.  All gamers and people in the game's press had a good time joking about the title.  When the game finally came out, it was a steaming pile of space-frog crap.  We all laughed at John Romero's expense and that was the end of it.  Closure.

If Duke Nukem Forever never ever comes out or if it's not forever being developed, we'll never be able to have that final laugh.  No closure and now I've got an empty feeling inside where once I had comedic ridicule for the game.

DNF = Duke Nukem Forever = Did Not Finish.

cool story, bro

Edited the first post so the text colour should now actually be easier to read.

"cool story, bro"

Gotta agree with this guy.

I agree as well.  This company should have been shut down a long time ago.  How much money was wasted on this company?  Think of what that money could have made in the hands of a semi-intelligent company.

Meh, its his first post. cut em some slack."

*cuts a slice of slack*

While I definately don't like people losing their jobs, there's no doubt in my mind about that.  The last game they released was the meh prey, and before that it was...umm.... i don't remember.  They barely make games.  Well, correction, that's the only thing they do.  But then they scrap it.  They really should learn to shoot for soemthing challenging but achievable.  Go too far and it'll take so long that other people will do it before you (prey, do too little and your, just, well, doing to little.

Though NOTHING (especially a video game) should take 12 years to complete,they dident deserve   to be shut down.

Duke Nukem For-never.  =  (   I hope to God it comes out somehow.  I just want some new Duke Nukem.

If the developers weren't doing their jobs and getting the game finished, then they did deserve to be shut down.  Period.  If it was a publisher nitpicking and changing details, I'll feel sorry for them.  However, there should absolutely be no excuse for taking that long on a game.

While it's certainly not fun that people had to lose their jobs, I have to agree that 3D Realms kind of deserved to go under.

For a 12 year old game I want a 3D model of the whole world
