6th May 2009 must be the most unforunate day in every Gamer's life... This is the day when the most famous studio in PC game developement has been shut down - Yes, The 3D Realms is no more...
The creators of games like Biomenace, Balls of Steel and then infamous Shadow Warrior, Wolf3d and recently Max Payne and Max Payne 2 and, most notably - Duke Nukem Series.
The major reason behind is the publisher - Take-Two Interactive, that had moved agrresively and filed a legal against 3d Realms that they had not completed the latest installement in DN series - DNF - Duke Nukem Forever. But, as many of their lead developers left the studio and 3dR had difficulty in the completion of DNF.
The agrression of Take-Two continued, and Lack of fundings to continue after DNF had finally resulted in collapse.
As the result - 3d Realms is no more... (Till they come back, if at all)
