Duke Nukem Forever has come and gone but there are still a few games that offer a gaming experience close to the things that made Duke great.

3D Realms and Slipgate Ironworks have suffered from a second round of layoffs following one that hit both companies in the middle of December.

More layoffs at Embracer Group, as the publisher as reportedly fired half of 3D Realms and Slipgate Ironworks.
Hope that the ones fire are the Decision makers in Slipgate Ironworks and those responsible for greenlighting those decisions over at 3D Realms. Cuz they are mediocre at what they do...
Lol!! What am I even saying? Their just gonna fire all the people actually working hard on the games instead. Oopsie! My bad.
Monopoly and Consolidation of the game industry is Nooice!!!
