If Duke Nukem Forever is meant to be a 'megaton' for MS at E3 the entire gaming industry will laugh.

While..I must say the Game Industry has evolved alot...But Duke Nukem Was a Megaton back in it's Hay day...

Why buy a crappy studio that took 12 years and did not finish the Duke Nukem game? I don't think it's true there lots of great developers, why this?

They might be after the IP.

People should keep in mind MS just closed down some of their major developers like Ensemble *Cries* . Why the hell would they buy 3D realms ?

This. Also if someone picks it up.. (which, after the footage.. someone certainly should) I'd rather it be anyone but Nintendo or Microsoft. Nintendo would never do it.. but if they did they'd ruin the game. Microsoft would keep it from the pc for years after it's release.. and it would be gimped for the pc. So please ! .. I don't want sony to do it either. Sure it would be a ps3 exclusive, but again. .. This is a game where i want my pc version.

And.. Take two is the publisher of the game at this moment. I'm amazed they haven't shelled out the 5 million so that the game could be finished.
