So the long, painful death of Duke just keeps getting weirder.
According to Scott "George Broussard isn't available" Miller, the alleged 12 million dollars that Take Two claims they provided 3D Realms with never really materialized. "This, along with so much else, is 100% spin, being eaten up by those who have no clue whatsoever."
Just to recap: Take Two is a publishing partner with 3D Realms on the biggest punchline in gaming history. 3D Realms never delivers said punchline. Take Two claims they provided over the course of the development history 12 million dollars, which in the long run doesn't seem that unreasonable of a number. 3D Realms claim they never saw the first penny of that money, which begs the question for me who was funding this project?
So who do you believe? Its kind of hard to believe anyone involved with 3D Realms right now, but it also isn't too far-fetched to believe a major publisher like Take Two would think they could bully a much smaller developer into doing what they want, even if it was resolved out of court. Either way, this is far, far from over.
