hey, wait.. did i get it right that they developed on it now for 12 years? who really wants to pay that team?? but i may miss something else important, that could be

Many people even pre-ordered this game:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duke-Nukem-Forev...0575&sr=8-1

however, i dont really wonder why they closed down

I just read that Apogee is not affected. They are developing a Duke Nukem Trilogy for handhelds right now.

Apogee is the real primary rock in game development and game publishing.

That's nonsense, Apogee has only been recently resurrected from the grave, nothing 'rock solid' about that 'studio'. Basically 3DRealms' people resurrected that studio with like half of their people anyways.

Yeah, which is a tad odd if the game would really be finished enough for a 30 september 2009 release. I'm hoping it's nearly done already, but I fear not.

Sorry.

It is not nonsense:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apogee

Scott 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.

Name apogee reminds me the game, Raptor:<i cant remember that part>, a topdown scrolling shooter... good old days was one of my first games.

sorry for ot.

Wacky Wheels rocked so much
