RE: Sim, 3D Realms isn't quite dead.
It happens that I was reading this
interview
, on Classic Dos Games, with someone who had a game published by Apogee 15 years ago.
Quote:
"Because I think in terms of the world, rather than, say, just Texas, which is where much of Apogee came from, to me a dark puzzle game was just fine. In fact, better than fine, it was fresh and interesting. To Apogee, it was an abomination against Jesus and Christian thinking, as they put it. To their defence, the boys at Apogee were just kids at the time, mere 20-somethings, and childish behavior, such as badmouthing us on forums, punishing us by failing to live up to their agreement to promote Boppin', and calling us faggots and fuck-heads over the phone are, perhaps, to be expected. Not expected in my generation, of course, but, perhaps expected in theirs."
Maybe this is why it took the Apogee / 3D Realms guys so long to finish Duke Nukem Forever: they were working very hard to make sure it contained no abominations against Jesus and Christian thinking. And doubtless they did all they could to keep the development team free from faggots and fuck-heads.
