Duke Nukem Neverever I'd say it was about time.

3D Realms was shut down on May 6, 2009 due to lack of funding. DNF publisher Take-Two Interactive, in response, stated that they still hold the publishing rights for Duke Nukem Forever, but they stated they were not funding the game.

I don't see how it died with dignity. But yes, this is probably preferable.

Pop quiz, hotshot. Garry Kasparov is coming to kill you, and the only way to change his mind is for you to beat him at chess. What do you do, what do you do?

Yes but now it's official.

All I wanna say is that I'm happy and glad this is all over. I am not usually a cruel person, but I just can't help but laugh at...this. So, what is Duke going to do now?
Become an abstinent feminist philosopher.
