Duke Nukem forever shipping in 2009?

Duke Nukem Forever has become somewhat of a joke in the game industry. It has been in production for about 12 years and 3D Realms has kept a tight lid on information on the development of the new game, with only very sparse updates on their website, but a recent Tweet on Twitter by developer George Broussard alludes to a 2009 release date on the new Duke Nukem game.
Game developers often say “Cutting is shipping”. We begin this year with a vengeance and a chainsaw.
This got the members of the 3D Realms forums fired up, attempting to interpret what he meant. The general consensus is that 3D Realms is trimming the unnecessary features and planning on a release date this year.

I remember downloading the first 5 versions of Duke Nukem! Good to see it’s still around.
I`ll really hoping that this game should be out in this year 2009!
No more delaying of this game, if it is done, then they should release it!
Duke Nukem Forever is shipping in this year! Yes they Can!
I would rather wait 10 more years instead of getting some rushed, unfinished game.
I agree with Josef. I want them to polish the game first. I’d hate to have DNF come out with loads of glitches and plot holes.
I really hope they have easter eggs in it!
ok this is just a joke right? who would want to play such an unfinished product? the duke nukem fans are here to stay. 2010 , 2020, it doesn’t matter, we want duke nukem forever to be what was originally designed and promised, not another short-movie game. give them the time they need.
