3DRealms needs a buyer. Ok fine times are tough people and bills need to get paid. They should have no problems finding one. The new Duke Nukem game(s) are/is "continuing as planned". But what about Prey 2? Hmmmm...
Also, 3DRealms has STEAM and Impulse as major candidates for digital PC distribution which would cost 3DRealms next to nothing. Impulse has over 1 million members. STEAM has about 700 thousand to 1 million members.
A limited collectors edition for the PC would be nice also
Nothing more than a marketing ploy albeit an odd one. In the bigger picture it will all make sense. The news was even on the BBC UK site which is odd but again, make sense if 3DRealms is looking for a new owner. The UK has many outstanding and successful game studios.
But what's important is ideas. 3DRealms needs new games and with a new owner they just may get the funds they need to make those ideas a reality.
The continued support from the community and fans is important. You can see by all the comments in here. Many have been in the 3DRealms forums for 7-10 years. Never give up the fight. Sometimes change is a good thing. We love our Duke Nukem as do millions of fans around the world. I'm sure when the game(s) are done they will be worth the wait.
