Meanwhile, 3D Realms co-founder Scott Miller last night issued the first public comment from the company on Shacknews. Miller was replying to a user question of whether 3D Realms saw any of the $12 million that Take-Two paid Infogrames for the DNF publishing rights in 2000.

"No. We didn't get a penny of that money," said Miller. "This, along with so much else, is 100% spin, being eaten up by those who have no clue whatsoever."

Miller added that 3D Realms will have more to say on the matter "soon"--though Take-Two expects to go to trial no earlier than 9-12 months.
