DO NOT donate to savedukenukem.com!!!

[BloodWolf806]

I would advise everyone to decide against donating to savedukenukem.com until we hear from George or Scott on the matter.This could just be a guy trying to take advantage of the situation at 3DR to scam people.

[Derfernet]

I agree: Not a good idea to donate to anything just yet.
If anything is endorsed by the higher ups I'll donate all the money I have but with third parties there is no way of telling what's what.

[vcxzet]

I agree; "do not donate"
But I don't think he is an evil guy

[Nacho]

Just so you know the site itself states it is not affiliated with 3D Realms or Take 2.

[Mr.Deviance]

If George or Scott will take time to confirm that what that guy is doing on that site is true to it's cause, I think they will also have time to confirm if 3drealms is going bye bye and especially if Duke Nukem Forever is going to die or to be released. So that kind of makes it useless for that guy on savedukenukem.com because if either Scott or George confirm something, both ways it will mean the end of that site as the game will either release naturally or will not get released at all no matter what sum of money they get.
Unless they actually consider a fundraiser to be a last backup plan, which let me say I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt is the case for such people behind such a big and serious company like 3drealms is or was lol, then that site is pointless and any money it will make will be for no cause.

thank god I read this thread, I was just about to press "submit" and send them all my credit card info....

[Duke's New Chainsaw]

You too, eh?

[The Commander]

How could you be stupid enough to fall for such a internet scam? :o

[Duke's New Chainsaw]

You have no faith!

[The Commander]

You have no faith!

No, I'm just not an idiot. If 3DR wanted the community to help them they would ask us them selfs and post a statement on the website here. NEVER trust something from another website. Period

[Jeremiah C.]

some people are brain dead.

[Duke's New Chainsaw]

No shit.

;)

[vcxzet]

How could you be stupid enough to full for such a internet scam? :o

we don't know if it is scam or not
but not gonna donate anyway without a official word

[Jiminator]

lol, my post was a joke. i'd buy the game if it ever comes out but there will not be any charity funds for duke and ex-dukkies.

[jimmydouglas]

I'm not surprised someone is doing this. Hell, I almost did the same thing. Almost registered the same domain and everything. Posted a thread about it here but it got rejected. :-P

[shiranui]

Hehe, some people just don't get irony, however obvious, Jimi. :D

May 12, 2009: OK, I just learned this morning that the company that owns the rights to publish DNF rejected a $30MM offer. As optimistic as I am about raising money, I think that's just a bit out of our grasp...unless Bill Gates wants to help us out. Stay tuned for more info and updates.
donations were taken down

[William Gee]

If they thought the game wasn't going to be released, they would sell the rights to publish it rite? So why reject $30MM ?

Unless this guy is full of crap.

[Clord]

Might be because 3D Realms developer(s) pride to rather not to release and finish DNF than give rights to Take Two, finish DNF and then release it.

[IwantMORE]

I guess they could still make a bit off money off the google ads ;)

[Steve]

I've donated. What do I do!?

[Kennerado]

lol if thats true file a claim with paypal, you should get it reversed.

[Neo]

Lol who would donate in their right mind ? they gonna raise millions of dollars with that.. haha.

[Steve]

Oh man oh man oh man! That's $400 I'm never going to see again! :(

[Sang]

Why do people think Bill Gates is the only human on the planet who can cough up 30 million?

[SuperBill]

Oh man oh man oh man! That's $400 I'm never going to see again! :(

Why the hell would you give your money away like that without doing research and no official word has come from the man himself George Broussard? I suppose you deserve it to learn the lesson :doh:

[WoodenSword]

Instead of making a site with donations why did not someone create a web site with estimated sales of 3d realms old products???

For example, encourage fans into buying their products and keep track of the new sales ( users will announce their purchases). In that way it would be legal and users could have an estimation of the DNF funding progress.

Edit: Steve i don't believe that you fall for that!! You are lying again aren't you?? :)

I suppose you need to learn sarcasm :D Or a lesson on not everything you read is the truth. :p

:D :D

[fast-1]

Are you telling the truth Steve, I guess he is making a joke, but you should not give any money away unless it's safe and you got officially truth about where's it's going.


opps pressed over a thousand by mistake. :(

[jonis]

Just the mere fact that the guy behind savedukenukem.com hasn't replied here to strengthen his case should say smth. A true fan would track these forums 24/7 since "the day".

Watch out for this one, smells scam long way. ;)

[Mr.Deviance]

Aww damn and here I just donated my last 5 mil $ to that guy:doh:

[slapdaddy06]

Well the donation links are gone until they can get in touch with 3DR about it...so maybe.?.? If George can come here and validate the site, then I'm all down for donating.

[Duke's New Chainsaw]

Oh man oh man oh man! That's $400 I'm never going to see again! :(

Don't worry, I'll buy you something with it. Something cheap.

[Jiminator]

Just sent 20K. Can GB or one of the other guys confirm you have received it?

[Steve]

He'll confirm when he's done.

[ryche]

I just took out a business loan for $6.5 million and donated it to that site...think that'll be a enough?












or should I donate my balls too?

[IwantMORE]

Site updated...

Thats fvcking funny :D
How stupid are people?

[IHerman]

I'll donate $50 to anyone who can give me a finished copy of DNF when it's done.

[Jiminator]

I'll donate $50 to anyone that can give me the current development version of DNF... :)

Hell, i've seen lots of suckier games released. Release as is and fix the bugs in a patch. No biggie. Or split it up into 3 parts, 10 levels each, one part a year....

[shiranui]

Right, I just sold off one of my kidneys and donated the proceeds to savedukenukem.com.

What I would like to know is, how I should go about getting a receipt, for tax purposes. I hear that most charitable donations are tax-deductible.
