Along these lines, can I mention something I observed today (in spoilers for those who don't want to know):

I like how he says they provided not a dime, and then turns around and talks about continual funding and mutually agreed upon milestones.
I bet this will reveal itself in court.

I bought one of the mobile games and hated it. You'd basically be hit by enemy fire the second they appeared on the screen, and they kept spawning. Not fun.

This is talking about two different thing, they had not received a dime from but were negotiating to change that fact. But the negotiations fell through.

He said that they didn't get any money from the $12m when T2 bought the contract from GT/Infogrames back in 2000, and I assume that this is the sum that T2 is sueing for. He never said that they didn't get any money at all from T2...

They sued someone for making a unauthorized Duke 3D expansion, otherwise no major court dealings, right?

Stop blaming take two for the game getting put on hold they did the right thing, AS IF ANY COMPANY IN THERE RIGHT MIND would give money to 3DR when they don't have the competence to release a game in under a decade, hence the only other option is to buy them out and actually deliver the product (created with the original development team) that WE have all been waiting for for so long.
FUCK YOU 3DREALMS

They refused to help them finish the game, and wanted to take the dev team AND the duke nukem name. That is basically T2 saying "We won't help you finish the game, but we will give you a really unfair price and take everything you have and leave you with almost nothing"
3Dr said "Go fuck yourself" like any self respecting developer would to that kind of offer.

3DR did this to protect Duke, they suspected that Take Two (the name seems like a clue to their business tactics) had some future foul play at hand and were trying to milk 3D Realms to get Duke.
Lol don't Take Two (much) know that Duke is in fact made up from thousands and thousands of 3DR shaped polygons?

Yes, we all know. Most of us here have been following it since it's announcement a decade ago. We're still sticking by their side because we're fans. This is a fan site. Maybe you didn't realize that with all of the Duke Nukem images and threads around?
