3D Realms went bankrupt, and they decided to fire all (or almost all) their employees.
Generally, companies are referred to as third-person plural. Singular can work too.
Oh okay. I usual mess up with persons because in French everything have a gender. For example a lake is masculine, but a river is feminine. And a company is feminine, but strangely I always say his and not her 
.
Yeah, I figured that was the case, hence why I explained. We should probably stop derailing the thread now though!
It sucks that 3D Realms wasted so much time smoking pot and playing WoW instead of doing their work. Thanks a lot, 3D Realms, for fucking up. So much for Duke Nukem Forever mods. That idea is up in smoke.
In fact they said no a couple of months ago (?) to a mod recreating Duke Nukem 3D on Sauce. So not only they didn’t finish DNF, but they don’t even want the community to extend the “longevity” of the franchise.
You do know it could be a huge cover up to get people excited about the game and then go mental when it really does comes out.
I really hope that is the case.
You guys really dont read PC gamer magazine do you? 3D Realms is closed, and Duke Nukem For[N]ever is no longer in development, so Duke isn’t going to be kicking ass or chewing bubblegum anymore, although this time, he does have gum.
R.I.P. Duke Nukem
3D Realms isn’t closed, only the dev-team of DNF got “fired”.
Even if some of us find this more interesting than the actual story? 
I get the feeling that the workers actually did work quite a bit on the game, but that “management” wouldn’t ever let them finish. That company deserves to disappear the way they have mishandled their IP and company in general.
Didn’t you here? It was cocaine and hookers, not pot.
I think that Yahtzee explains the whole situation pertaining to 3D Realms well enough.

Yeah, but all that exists now is a small licensing company that owns the IP rights to Duke Nukem and a few other franchises. They plan on licensing the names out rather than on developing any more games themselves.
