Lack of funds, eh? Lessee, 12+ years developing one game, during which they've released no other major software?

No real surprise when you think about it. You know, it took us less time to develop a space program from nothing to put a man on the moon than it's taken them to develop Duke Nukem Forever? That's just nuts.

So, when will Duke Nukem reemerge and we'll see a new trailer and screenshot? Any bets?

Duke Nukem! OMG. How does that HAPPEN?

Pretty good gig while it lasted.

I wish I could get 12 years of funding and only have to produce an occasional screenshot to keep the money coming.

Laugh all you want at Duke Nukem Forever, but they had a sweet deal going there if they actually had outside funding all that time.

Reminds me of that silly email forward asking for government money to not grow crops. Guess they had funding to not write software.
