At this point, it should come as no surprise that the saga of the mythical video game Duke Nukem Forever—which began in 1997, never shipped, and recently had its development studio shut down—isn’t over yet. According to Bloomberg, Take-Two Interactive has filed suit against Apogee Software over the failed game. Apogee is the corporate entity under which Duke Nukem Forever developer 3D Realms operated, but Take-Two owned the publishing rights to the game.
