"Veteran development studio 3D Realms has gone bust due to a lack of funds available to sustain the business.  After being founded in 1987, the organisation gained fame and acclaim for producing the Duke Nukem and Wolfenstein 3D games.  The firm has been working on sequel Duke Nukem Forever for the past 12 years, which had become somewhat of a saga in the industry. Take Two was slated to publish the game, but has now opted against providing any funding to sustain the project, despite retaining the rights.  The company&amp;#039;s Alan Lewis said in a statement: &amp;quot;We can confirm that our relationship with 3D Realms for Duke Nukem Forever was a publishing arrangement, which did not include ongoing funds for development of the title.&amp;quot; Providing 3D Realm&amp;#039;s only official comment on the situation, forum webmaster Joe Siegler said: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not a marketing thing. It&amp;#039;s true. I have nothing further to say at this time.&amp;quot; However, Apogee Software and its publisher Deep Silver offered assurances that development of the Duke Nukem Trilogy for PSP and DS is not affected by the closure.
