The
Duke Nukem Forever Release Update on TotalVideoGames (thanks Mike Martinez)
is another of those occasional pot-stirring stories about the long-time
in-development shooter, based on a quote that was attempting to do just the
opposite. The story reproduces a quote from 3D Realms' George Broussard
explaining why they are staying low-key at this time, as he reveals that they
are still not that close to completion:
“IMO, it's more abusive to the community to continue to talk about and show the game when it's not real close to release. What's the point of leading people on? The best thing we can, and should do, is to shut up, finish the game and start showing it and talking about it when it's near enough release that people can actually see light at the end of the tunnel.”
As for the salaries, don't forget they were asking people to sign on for a low salary, but points on the product. Who knows if that's still the case, but depending on how long you could string people along, that would lower your overhead.
