I refuse to believe it, as they're still under guildhall and SMU endorsement.
Though, it does seem likely as they've been fracking around way too much. Plus they also can't make up their minds. 1 second a game is PC only, then it's 360 PC, then it's PS3 PC, then it's all three, then they drop a random console.

I report badge farmers so that way they can't get their precious Matrix badges, among others. Abide by our rules, and do not spam up areas just because you think they're dead. I read dead areas frequently to report badge farming, as it's strongly frowned upon, and necroing is against the rules.

DNF I think is still unaffected.
UPDATE: Deep Silver and Apogee Software have issued the following statement: "Deep Silver and Apogee Software are not affected by the situation at 3D Realms. Development on the Duke Nukem Trilogy is continuing as planned."

Oh, they're just closing down 3D realms but leaving Apogee Software, the parent/orignal company?

Is there anyone who cares anymore?

I stopped caring a while ago...

The Duke in me is still hoping Take Two will acquire the license and transfer DNF to another developer.

Just maybe...

Even better, Take-Two suing 3D Realms for an invested sum of $12 million:
