This statement from Deep Silver and Apogee Software indicates that a bad situation definitely exists, however, the full story of the shut down has not emerged yet, but it’s expected quite soon.
On this report, Joe Siegler, a webmaster at 3D Realms says that: “It’s not something about marketing, but it has some truth in itself and I don’t want to say anything further about it at this moment.”
The situation has an expected nature that is quite evident from this post from Seigler.

Oh, man. I spent many nights on Duke Nukem, it must have been versions 1 and 2.
But after spending about 12 years in development, it’s a big blow for the company as well for the fans. Seriously recession is now hitting below the belt.
I have heard that company continues to retain the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever.
