If it's a good game - why not?
Of course they'd probably need to start over again to get the game up-to-date to modern tastes.
I remember playing Duke3D on my school's LAN network during class - that was fun.

this is some bad news
3D Realms made the Max Payne games? Guess I should check the fine print on my game boxes more closely in the future...
I believe you are thinking of Blizzard. They are the ones known for that exact response.Thank god. I was getting tired of 3dReals lame respond "when its done" mantra, everytime they were asked when the game was coming out.
3D Realms always gave a release date. Just never met it.
Don't forget the hugely popular and successful Math Rescue!
The upcoming Max Payne 3 is at some other studio, right? I don't remember.
Well, Take-Two is suing 3D Realms...

Just one, teeny-tiny difference:
Blizzard actually releases games.
Starcraft: Ghost aside, you can't fault Blizzard (or Valve, also notorious for such a repsonse) when they actually follow through with highly successful, polished, very entertaining games.
DNF and 3DRealms were a joke.

Epic did it as well with UT2K3...
Which ended up being re-released a year later as Unreal Tournament 2004 with a rebate voucher for people who bought 2003.
They produced while Remedy developed it.
^ How exactly are Take Two expecting to make money out of that court case? Last I heard 3D Realms shut down because they ran out of cash
IP?!?
Take-Two pumped in something like $12 million to originally get the publishing rights, didn't it?
Yes, but not from 3D Realms... they purchased the publishing rights from Infogrames. The game was entirely self funded, apparently, so it's not really clear what contractual obligation 3D Realms actually had with Take Two.
