Broussard said that the development team was tweaking and polishing the game and putting it all together.[20] In April, Broussard demonstrated samples of the game, including an early level, a vehicle sequence, and a few test rooms.[21]
In June, in a filing with the SEC, Take-Two revealed that they had renegotiated the deal and will receive $4.25 million instead of $6 million upon the release of the game.[22] The filing also revealed that Take-Two was offering a $US 500,000 bonus if Forever was commercially released by December 31, 2006.[23] However, Broussard denied the rumors that DNF would be released, saying that 3D Realms never cared for or asked for the bonus. He stated that he would "never ship a game early...for 500K."[24]
