You're correct that "Effect" is a verb, as well as a noun. No one is denying that. However, it does not mean the same as "Affect".

From dictionary.com:

effect (verb): to produce as an effect; bring about; accomplish; make happen
affect (verb): to act on; produce an effect or change in

Or as i like to put it:

The effect (noun) of affecting (verb) something is to effect (verb) a change in it.

Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008 344

Posted by Zonk from the funny-weird-not-funny-ha-ha dept.
An anonymous reader writes "A Dallas newspaper is claiming that the long-in-development title Duke Nukem Forever is headed for retail release in late 2008. Unfortunately, game creator 3D Realms says that's not exactly what they meant. 'What the modest Texas newspaper actually seems to suggest is that 3D Realms is "on target" to release the mythical sequel sometime this year, though company president Scott Miller adds, "we may miss the mark by a month or two" (wink, wink). Miller also hinted that "hitting the big three" (in this case, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3) is the obvious development strategy, but he continued to stress that 3D Realms has not "formally announced any platforms for DNF."'"
