3DRealms president confesses Duke Nukem Forever is an industry joke
Scott Miller, the founder of Apogee, and a co-owner of 3Drealms, has some interesting words to say about Duke Nukem Forever. For everyone that has been waiting extremely patiently for Duke Nukem Forever, it is my extreme displeasure to inform you that they effectively declared that the past 10 years of development have been wasted. The actual quote from Mr.Miller himself:

The Inquirer
Our fault is that we set the bar too high, and we tried too hard to make the game to beat all games. In the last 18 months we've taken a much more realistic look at the project, we've hired a truckload of experienced help, and I personally believe we are now on the right track…finally.In short, Mr.Miller admits that 3DRealms was working too hard on Duke Nukem Forever, and is now setting much more realistic goals for the Duke Nukem Forever project. Maybe we'll start seeing beta's/products for Duke Nukem Forever this year. Or maybe we won't...time will tell.

Pretty misleading title, as I also thought the game might not be coming out.
Brilliant!
I actually applaud 3DRealms for sticking with it so long and trying their hardest to make it the game they wanted. The problem is that they simply wanted way to much. Saddly it most likely won't be the game to end all games like they wanted, but I doubt it will be the same retooled crap we see companies like EA putting out on the shelves. It won't be another WWII shooter, so just in that area they already have a winner on their hands in my book.
