Apogee Software, creator and former owner of the Duke Nukem
franchise, is suing Gearbox Software over claims the Texas-based
developer allegedly withheld profits from the sale of Duke Nukem Forever.
Apogee, which remains the legal name for 3D Realms, contends Gearbox
has failed to stump up more than $2 million in royalties and fees and
that Apogee has been blocked by Gearbox from performing an audit of Duke Nukem Forever’s sales results.
In a statement provided to Polygon, Gearbox has rubbished the allegations.
“Ironically, Scott Miller himself provided the best response when he
wrote: ‘..filed lawsuits are entirely one-sided statements, based on
knee-deep BS and with more spin than a top,’” read the statement from
an unidentified Gearbox spokesperson. “The reality is that Apogee / 3D
Realms (3DR) received the full benefit of its bargain. Gearbox, in its
fulfillment of its commitments, enriched 3DR, saved 3DR from its debts
and rescued 3DR from its litigation surrounding its failed dozen-plus
year attempt to ship Duke Nukem Forever.
