3D Realms 'voluntarily withdraws' lawsuit against Gearbox
Back in June, Duke Nukem creator 3D Realms sued Duke Nukem Forever co-developer Gearbox Software for over $1.3 million. However, it appears Gearbox has walked away the winner, with 3D Realms "voluntarily withdrawing" their claim.

"After reviewing evidence regarding our business affairs, and without any money exchanging hands, we have satisfactorily resolved any and all differences that we perceived against Gearbox," a statement from 3D Realms reads.
"In all sincerity, we regret the misunderstanding that instigated our lawsuit. Now that we better understand--and appreciate--the actual nature of our business matters, we have voluntarily withdrawn our claims against Gearbox, with genuine apologies to Randy for any damage that our lawsuit may have caused to the relationship," Scott Miller said in a statement.
In fairness to 3D Realms, they did ask for an independent auditor at the start of their lawsuit. Apparently, they didn't discover much. However, given the harsh words thrown at each other during the initial claim, it's unlikely we'll see these two companies work again.

Not very likely:
"I've read that 3D Realms is closing. Is that true?
SM: No, 3D Realms is not closing. The internal development is no longer a part of this business, though." (Source: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/132501/20_years_of_evolution_scott_.php?page=9)
and:
"Even so, I think I would have abandoned internal development six or seven years ago. I much prefer to work with external studios to develop games, as we did with Max Payne and Prey." (Source: http://issuu.com/gamesauce/docs/2009fallgamesauce?e=1747888/3258409).
