I've always said that 3DRealms is a better producer then developer. Max Payne and PREY still stand as two of my favorite games ever, and because 3DR supported the right developer.
I feel this would have been the best path for them, and in that vein... was sad to see that we'll never get the 3DR produced and Gearbox developed Duke Begins.
Which, I feel would've been a much different beast then the Duke game GBX make on their own.
