Duke Nukem Forever: Learn to Let Go

Wired has published their article on the demise of “Duke Nukem Forever”. Clearly, this is a must read, as it is the best article about the subject matter so far — hardly surprising, coming from Wired. It retells the story of a more than decade long process of making a game that could never live up to its creator’s own standards.

Broussard simply couldn’t tolerate the idea of Duke Nukem Forever coming out with anything other than the latest and greatest technology and awe-inspiring gameplay. He didn’t just want it to be good. It had to surpass every other game that had ever existed, the same way the original Duke Nukem 3D had.

If you are at all interested in the history of “Duke”, this is a must read.

Also, the piece was illustrated by the ridiculously talented Olly Moss.
