Hi, I can't reveal anymore than the barest details about myself here, but I am somewhat close to the situation to be able to comment. It's true that DNF is now a dead project, but 3drealms still owns the IP and all the assets in their entirety. It's basically like this. Scott Miller went to Take 2 to ask if they would provide some funding to finish what is an 90% complete project. It seems there are some higher-ups at Take 2 who hold a grudge against 3drealms and refused to put any money into the project [those unreasonable jerks! --Fussbett], offering to sell back the publishing right for a ridiculous amount as correctly reported in this thread. Scott and George understandably balked at this amount, and took the decision, albeit drastic to pull the plug entirely on 3drealms and DNF. Now here's the interesting part. As I said before, all the assets, tech, equipment are still owned by them, 3drealms having been a private company. The current plan, as will shortly be revealed, will be to develop a new i.p using practically all the same assets that were used in DNF except under a new guise at the recently founded Radar which is not affected at all by this situation. In effect DNF will still live on, just not in its current incarnation, name, storyline etc. Selected developer will be-hired, though unfortunately not all. This might sound hard to swallow but there will be an announcement of a new title from Radar at the latest within the next few days.
I wonder if Take 2 will sue the fuck out of people for making Jack Bombem Forever and pretending it's not Duke Nukem Forever?
