The Official Duke Nukem Forever site has some fairly
amusing comments for those who have been waiting for the game for
years.
It is fairly clear that the release date of the game is a
running joke even among the company which has been trying to make
it.
The site says that it is still impossible to pre-order the
game. "If you see some online store saying "We are taking pre-orders", they're
just trying to get your money (they usually also make up their own supposed
"insider release date info", too), " the site said.
It said that there is no release date set and no-one could
be taking pre-orders for the game.
Officially, the site says that the release date of this
game is "When it's done" and anything else, and we mean anything else is
someone's speculation.
"We don't know any date. If you have a friend who claims
they have "inside info", or there's some game news site, or some computer store
at the mall who claims they know - they do not. They are making it up.
There is no date. Period."
Finally the developers admit that they know the game has
taken a long time.
"There's no possible joke you could make about the game's
development time that we haven't already heard," the site says.
