For those who are not in the know, 3D Realms(of Duke Nukem and ROTT fame) has recently been acquired by Interceptor Entertainment (creators of the ROTT remake). On top of relaunching the company website and promising new games, Frederik Schreiber (Interceptor's CEO) has discovered a backlog of betas of old 3D Realms and Apogee games, including Duke Nukem 3D! The betas will be repakaged and released to the gaming community, that is if some 14 year old retard doesn't stop harassing Frederik.

So the question is, does this kid really have that much power over this company, or did the CEO realize that releasing long-lost betas for free wouldn't make them a lot of money. Let's discuss.

It's like highlander, the one who wins gets to keep the cushy, overpaid job and the loser is forgotten to history.

My money's on the autistic kid.

Baby even when I'm dead and gone
You will always be my only one, my only one
When the night is calling
No matter who I become
You will always be my only one, my only one, my only one
When the night is calling

it looks like the ceo is saying "we're getting mean internet emails, which is pretty discouraging so we're not going to release this"

Why does this autistic kid not want the betas released? Was this kid even alive when that game came out?

man this internet hater starved for attention and validation he's loving with us is really loving with us, better tell the internet that his attempts are finding success and that there's nothing we can do to stop it.

What would a crank call from a 14 year old autist even consist of?

How the gently caress can anyone get intimidated by a 14 year old autistic boy?

I mean we get a lot of indie crap today too but the 90s were smoking their own brand of crack.

I think once you start getting owned by an autist that's barely in high school its time to sit back and reassess your life choices.

Maybe the guy doesn't understand the nature of autism and thinks the kid has some sort of superpower that can gently caress him up.

Like an X-Man or something.

Wasn't aware that 3DR got bought out for a re-launch. I figured Broussard just leveraged the IP for capital somehow (hence that recent complete pack) and was breathing life back into 3DR after spending $30 mil+ on DNF.

Doesn't look like it according to his own profile...but that's how autists work, isn't it? More often than not, unexplainable obsessions with completely inane stupid bullshit. They can't all be Temple Grandin. So here's a real winner whose life revolves around games, only instead of JRPGs or Pokemon or Sonic, it's betas of PC games from the 90s. Not that much of a stretch.
