Veteran games developer 3D Realms has closed down because of a lack of funds.
Founded in 1987, the firm popularised the concept of shareware gaming and published the seminal Duke Nukem and Wolfenstein 3D first-person shooters.
The company was working on a follow-up title, Duke Nukem Forever, which after being in development for 12 years has become the object of industry derision.
Publisher Take-Two says it will no longer fund development of the game but retains rights to the title.
"We can confirm that our relationship with 3D Realms for Duke Nukem Forever was a publishing arrangement, which did not include ongoing funds for development of the title," said Take-Two's Alan Lewis in a statement.
There has been no official comment from 3D Realms, other than a forum posting from the company's webmaster, Joe Siegler, who said: "It's not a marketing thing. It's true. I have nothing further to say at this time."
Other companies with links to 3D Realms or the Duke Nukem series were quick to distance themselves.
Duke Nukem Forever was the most aptly named title in the history of games
Guardian games writer Steve Boxer
In a posting on Twitter, Apogee Software said it was "officially not affected by the situation at 3DRealms".
"Development of the Duke Nukem Trilogy is continuing as planned and further announcements about upcoming games will be made in the near future," the statement added.
Guardian newspaper games writer Steve Boxer said it was astonishing 3D Realms had not finished the game after more than a decade of development.
"It would have been nice to see another Duke Nukem game, but given they had more than 12 years it's just incompetence of the highest order.
"3D Realms made some great games in the past, but they got overtaken by the 21st Century.
"Sadly, Duke Nukem Forever was the most aptly named title in the history of games. Now, it's just Duke Nukem Never."

Axl did more to damage his own cd than Skwerl.. I download music, I admit, but then I buy it if I like it. Most of the people I know who download wouldnt buy it regardless so there is no revenue lost there.
Only Axl and the CD is to blame for its lack of success

Seattle native Duff McKagan (DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED, VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES) will make his radio host debut next week with "Radio Loaded", a one-hour show on 99.9 KISW "The Rock of Seattle" and at KISW.com. The show will air Tuesday, May 12 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Immediately following the broadcast, the show and bonus material will be available for streaming and download at KISW.com.
"I've always had a lot of fun as a guest on the air at KISW," says McKagan. "We figured it was about time they completely turned the reins over to me for an hour."
"Sick", the new full-length album from DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED, sold around 1,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD landed at position No. 43 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
"Sick" was released in North America on April 7 via Century Media Records. An e-card for the CD, which was produced by Martin Feveyear (PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, KINGS OF LEON), is available at this location.
In addition to McKagan, LOADED features drummer Geoff Reading (GREEN APPLE QUICK STEP), bassist Jeff Rouse (VENDETTA RED, ALIEN CRIME SYNDICATE) and guitarist Mike Squires (ALIEN CRIME SYNDICATE).
LOADED released "Live Episode" (1999) and "Dark Days" (2001), before other commitments meant LOADED were put on the back burner to some extent, although they never split up.
DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED's five-song EP, "Wasted Heart", was released in September 2008 via Century Media Records.
DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED will support MÖTLEY CRÜE on several European shows this summer.
Duff McKagan was interviewed on the April 1, 2009 edition of "The BJ Shea Morning Experience" on the Seattle station KISW 99.9 FM. Watch part of his appearance below. The McKagan portion of the show is available for download as an MP3 audio file at http://kisw.radiotown.com/bjdaily/04-09 … -01-9A.mp3

#967 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Review of Loadeds "SICK" » 914 weeks ago
well, you might like it, you might not. its def a more upbeat album with a few radio friendlys, or so i think.. and you`d be suprised where its been sold, and it was only £8.99 for the limited edition box with poster and dvd.. the dvd is awesome too..tho my only gripe is its not the whole gig..
Ive not heard a bad word about it, yet. Being with Century Media now is a good thing too. As for the nod, all the mods got a mention, tho with what I do I was suprised I got one..
And ive seen a few hardcores recently, im not one of em lol.. I just think he`s underestimated and deserves a lot more respect and lot less shit than he gets
