Wired Vaporware awards

Wired has posted its Vaporware awards. The lifetime achievement goes to Duke Nukem Forever:

A Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Duke Nukem Forever on the suggestion of reader Jeff White, who wrote, "First proposed in 1801 (or something close to that), Duke Nukem Forever has now come to define the term 'vaporware.' I wouldn't be surprised if dictionaries actually began printing it: 'vaporware: n. See Duke Nukem Forever.'" Reader Fabricio Rosas Tariki had a similar take, suggesting Duke Nukem Forever should be considered hors-concours. "After all," he wrote, "what could possibly compete against a game that is six years in the making, is called by the own company's president 'turtleware,' and has a release date that reads, 'when it's done'?" Reader Kyle Cuzzort said, "I pre-ordered this game a long time ago. So long, in fact, that I'm thinking of getting the receipt framed so it will be ready when I have kids and the game comes out."
