Re: Two new Apogee freeware titles released

I think the main reason they don't release the source code is because
they have no idea where it is or if there's even a copy still left!
They got lucky with ROTT, one of their programers backed it up for
himself. But it's doubtful we'll have such luck with other Apogee titles.

Prey has been placed on the back burner indefinetly until DNF is
released. The crew was switched over to Duke, but quite a few of them
have left and the lead engine designer no longer works there. So it
looks pretty grim, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see that kind of
interaction in Forever.
