Last night news broke that Take Two Interactive filed a lawsuit against 3D Realms and its parent company Apogee over the failure to complete the long-in-development FPS Duke Nukem Forever. Now Shacknews has some more info based on photocopies of the lawsuit.

Basically Take Two is asking that the source code for the game remain intact while the lawsuit proceeds through the court system and that they get a copy of that source code to "ensure the code is preserved and remains unharmed during the pendency of this lawsuit." Meanwhile a message post on Shacknews that alledgedly comes from 3D Realms's co-founder Scott Miller states that the developer "didn't get a penny of that money" that Take Two Interactive states it gave 3D Realms in 2000 for the publishing deal (Take Two claims they gave 3D Realms $12 million). The post reads, "This, along with so much else, is 100% spin, being eaten up by those who have no clue whatsoever. But, we cannot talk yet. We will, soon..."
