Duke Nukem Forever - How To Not Make A Video Game

http://www.idiotechnica.com/data/users/2009/01/04/1/user_albums/16/duke-nukem_ng2y9x.jpg Very good piece from Clive Thompson at Wired.com exposing how 3D realms head honcho George Broussard managed to shoot himself and his team in the foot for 10 years until inevitably bleeding out.

Its actually tough to read. You just want to stop this guy. Its the software industry equivalent to Kevin Costner refusing to lay up in the movie 'Tin-Cup'. Its partly admirable, but mostly sad.

i remember playing this game, it was ok, I didnt think it was that great. I liked Wolfenstein way better. I liked this article, I felt bad for the guy, he just really wanted to put out a great product, he could have done like Lucas and Spielberg and released a turd and made millions on the namebrand. Thats why Im torn on having a new Battlefront done, loved the first one, just dont think anything will be able to be as fun and exciting as that one was. Another example of that is Modern Warfare 2, just not as good at the first.

i agree with henryjoebob. its nice to hear a story about someone who wouldnt settle for crap just for money. i wonder if he would have changed engines again giving the chance. modern nukem.

mike's brother, you are the first person I have ever heard of being legitimately excited for this game. It had been a huge joke right up until its cancellation.
