Danish developer Interceptor has bought 3D Realms, according to this Eurogamer report. Initially there was some confusion because the company said it bought Apogee Software LTD. The new Apogee - a separate company doing business under the name Apogee Software LLC - denied the report. This caused Interceptor CEO Frederik Schreiber to later clarify on Twitter.
The purchase of 3DRealms is happening in the midst of a new lawsuit filed by Gearbox Software, who claims that Interceptor's new game 'Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction' is violating its copyright. It bought the Duke Nukem brand when it purchased Duke Nukem Forever from 3DRealms...
@Spiludviklingdk We acquired 3D Realms (Legally, Apogee Software Ltd.) The new Apogee was established in 2008, which is a different company

Re: Interceptor Buys 3DRealms
Is there anything in 3dRealms worth buying? especially since Interceptor seems a little fuzzy on who and what it is they purchased?
Re: Interceptor Buys 3DRealms
I really want to see what they do with this. Interceptor makes good classic remakes.
