That's nonsense, Apogee has only been recently resurrected...
It is not nonsense:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ApogeeScott Miller founded Apogee and was part of 3d Realms as well. He was the first one creating shareware, he published Wolfenstein 3d, the Nuke titles and was the first one distributing games via a bulletin board system (this was before the internet existed).
And Scott is still involved in Apogee.
I cant find nonsense here. This is what you can call a primary rock (Urgestein) or maybe an industry dinosaur.
