ZeniMax Media Acquires id Software, bringing together two of world’s best game studios. Library of powerhouse franchises will include DOOM, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, QUAKE, Wolfenstein and RAGE

According to the suit, 3D Realms - incorporated as Apogee Software Ltd. - failed to deliver on its contract to produce the game...
In the 12 years since Duke Nukem Forever was announced in 1997, the game's ever-shifting "when it's done" release date became a running joke in the game industry. This week, however, comes news that few will find funny. According to numerous reports, the elusive shooter's developer, 3D Realms, has informed its staff that it is ceasing operations.
