Sitting on their arses with nothing to show for 12 years? I am not surprised.

Re: Duke Nukem developer goes bust

I think Duke Nukem is best remembered as it was, before Nintendo turned it into a "child friendly" PG, rather than be remade into another generic FPS that'll probably sink without trace. If it takes 12 years to make a game, there's something very wrong.

I remember the good ol' days of Duke Nukem 3D with the dancing ladies that bared their chests for cash, and turned into monsters if you tried to hurt them! :lol:

But yeah, maybe it's cursed?
