This is not what happened. Please don't spread lies. The single player game is exactly what 3D Realms had developed and Triptych finished following 3DR's demise. Triptych consisted of a bunch of 3DR guys who wouldn't let the game die and spent close to a year working out of someone's house with no compensation. The work done by non-3DR/Triptych people was mainly the multiplayer and the console porting.

There's no reason to call someone a liar when it could just as easily be a simple mistake. Don't attribute to malice, etc.

He's making stuff up and stating it authoritatively as if it were simple fact. I'm not sure what else to call it.
