George Brossard must feel about two inches high right now. Do you guys know how much I really want that whole chair story to be true? Because if it is... it totally just backfired on them!

Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. filed a breach of contract suit against Apogee Software Ltd. this week in a Manhattan Court over the developer's "continually delayed" Duke Nukem sequel. Details of the suit were not disclosed in a report by Bloomberg, nor has the New York County Civil Court provided specifics about the damages Take-Two is seeking.

(For the record, the legal name of 3D Realms is Apogee Software Ltd., the party being sued. It is a separate entity from Apogee Software LLC, developers of the still alive Duke Nukem Trilogy.)

According to the complaint, "Apogee repeatedly assured Take-Two and the video-gaming community that it was diligently working toward competing development of the PC Version of the Duke Nukem Forever."


Every day this story just keeps on getting more and more interesting! In your face GB!

The great saga continues....

"If the development of Duke Nukem Forever was a troubled marriage, welcome to the nasty, drawn-out divorce.

Shacknews reports that court documents it obtained from the case of Take-Two Interactive vs. Apogee Software have the former demanding, well, custody of the unfinished game's source code. It also seeks to prevent Apogee from "disclosing, distributing, transferring or selling to any party other than Take-Two any proprietary information related to DNF." In short, Take-Two wants what it claims it paid for, and wants it now.

3D Realms co-founder, Scott Miller, wrote in a comment on Shacknews that the DNF developer "never saw a penny of that money," referring to the $12 million Take-Two says it paid Apogee for publishing rights to the game in 2000.

If there's anything positive to be taken away from this litigation situation, it's that Take-Two evidently plans on ensuring a return on its investment in DNF -- possibly to the extent of taking all the game's assets and continuing its development elsewhere."

Every day this keeps getting better and better. Honestly do you blame Take Two? For one thing they can't flat out LIE about giving money to 3DRealms ... I'm sure they did give them the 12 million, maybe there was certain restrictions that came with the money? Restrictions that George and Co. didn't agree with so now they're trying to claim "we never seen any of it" When in reality ... they probably spent it on pizza and hookers.

I'm a little up in the air as to if Take Two is in the right by going fully after the IP. It does seem a little extreme to try and take "Duke" from its developers like that but fuck... they (3DR) did seem to lie a number of times to the fans as to how far along the game really is. I can only imagine what it was like working with them.

If you backtrack a few weeks George wrote on his Twitter page that he was taking some sort of demo to Take Two to show off to them. Obviously Take Two was expecting a (damn near) completed version of the game ... and when it was STILL a couple of years away from coming out, finally had enough.

Its a funny situation. I can understand both points of view. Take Two is tired of being jacked around with this game. 3D Realms wants to do it "how they want to do it" and I'll be damned if anyone is going to tell them otherwise. Quite frankly ... both parties are right.

It seems Take Two demanding everything be turned over to them would be a good move at this point as that would probably mean the game might actually get finished and released finally. Maybe not but thats what it would seem like to me. I would trust Take Two to get it done and make it good.

At least Take Two will get the game done when it gets handed to them.

We may actually see the game before I die.

Take Two is apparently suing 3D Realms for pissing their development money away.

I think they are also going to see that the game does get finished/released because all the time (over 12 years) and money spent up to this point.
