Well, don't forget the struggles of trying to keep up with Valve, iD, Epic, and Monolith, Crytek, and everyone else that has reinvented the wheel over the past decade on FPS technology. George and Scott thought they could keep ahead of the curve from these guys. Either A) They gave up thinking that the "upgrade game" was going to bring Duke into a new light, or B) Since most of the games that 3DR may have made went to third-party, they may not have gotten the funding cuts from them that they thought they would through those developers and/or Take Two. So, there's a lot of floating around in terms of the best theory at this point. Time'll tell who got what out of these deals.
