3D Realms founder denies Take-Two claim News

PC News by Tom Bramwell

18 May, 2009

3D Realms co-founder Scott Miller has denied that the developer received USD 12 million from Take-Two for the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever as stated in the lawsuit filed last week.

"No. We didn't get a penny of that money. This, along with so much else, is 100 per cent spin, being eaten up by those who have no clue whatsoever," he wrote on a Shacknews comment thread. "But, we cannot talk yet. We will, soon..."

Court documents uncovered last week also show that Take-Two is demanding a copy of the game's source code "to ensure the code is preserved and remains unharmed during the pendency of this lawsuit".

3D Realms shut down earlier this month after more than 10 years developing Duke Nukem Forever.

He and George Broussard also said repeatedly that there were only a couple of more weeks left before DNF goes gold. They'd say this every year, and nothing else.

Now he's surprised that other people's word is being taken over his?

Well it's a little difficult to string any truths together under the circumstances of the last 12 years.

What does he expect?

Idiot.
