You no doubt heard the reports earlier this week about 3D Realms shutting down, but late yesterday the studio made it official with a goodbye post on its website. It consisted only of a photo of the team and a brief message: " Thanks for being fans and for all your support."And that's that. It's the end of 3D Realms and the end of an era. Longtime gamers are no doubt far familiar with the studio's great history, starting as Apogee in 1987, a developer of such titles as Duke Nukem and Rise of the Triad and then the publisher of games like Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3D for id Software and other developers. We'll have to wait and see. As of right now, though, 3D Realms is gone -- and so is Duke Nukem Forever.
