Dear 3DRealms,

So it finally happened. No, not the release of Duke Nukem Forever. But that you are now shut down. Your biggest IP may be lost forever. And why? Because you were a shitty development company. Seriously, 12 years on DNF?? How many engines did you guys go through? 3? 4? And still nothing. You cock teased us with 3 different trailers of gameplay….nothing to show for it.

I see you guys put up a photo of your team, saying Goodbye and thanking the fans. What fans? You fuckers pissed all over Duke Nukem and fucked with these fans too many times. If anyone held out for this long….they were morons. I was one of those morons! I defended you all on an episode of LANCast after the latest trailer in 2007. I knew that DNF would finally be coming out within a year to 18 months. I believed!! And then…nothing.

What publisher in their right mind would support a development company like 3DRealms? 12 years and a shit ton of money on one game. Duke Nukem is great….but he isn’t that great. There is no god damned reason why 3DRealms couldn’t have been a Bungie type company in the 2000′s. How could you fuck up an IP like this!?!

There are reports that Take-Two offered 30 million for the Duke Nukem IP and it was turned down. If this is infact true….WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T YOU SELL IT!?! 30 million for an IP that has been near idle for about 12 years. Let’s face it, the recent Duke games have not been that great and have been POS, with the expection of Manhatten Project. 30 million….with a decent company like Take-Two.

Duke Nukem is damaged goods thanks to 3DRealms. Fuck’em! Shut down that POS company. You don’t deserve to develope Duke any longer! I was a fan! I supported the effort just to get fucked in the ass and balls smashed! So to that group photo on your website, I hope NO ONE hires any of you or anyone from the past 12 years to develope a game for them. YOU ARE ALL TO BLAME! 12 god damned years…and nothing to show for it!

Good riddance.

Love,

Josh

P.S. If this IS a marketing stunt again, I WILL NOT buy this game. That type of marketing is not cool and fucked up. Grow up!

To whomever picks up the Duke Nukem IP.

Don’t fuck it up worse. Finish DNF and continue on. I will buy it as long as 3DRealms is no longer a part of it.

Sincerely,

Josh, Duke’s #1 Fan
