Wait why is Sega potentially getting sued? How is it their fault that Gearbox took funding away from Aliens and put it into Borderlands?

In the article it said that they were suing for a review embargo and using the demos to create a false impression of the end product.
Alien Infestaton on the Nintendo DS is actually a really good Aliens game, it's also from Gearbox. A shame that Colonial Marines is such a disaster. But they shamelessly advertised features and content that was not even in the game, that's a bad practice.
Whaat i dont understand is how gearbox can make an awesome game like bl2 and then make a piece of crap like this
RIP Gearbox

Sega gave gearbox money to make aliens, gearbox outsourced most of the work and used the money on borderlands 2.
at first I was thinking that this would be another BS lawsuit, then I saw that video.......

Because they poured everything including the money that was supposed to be used for Aliens: Colonial Marines into Borderlands 2 and pushed everything else to the side.

Sega honestly should be sueing, they gave gearbox money to do something, and they didn't
Maybe if they spent less money writing memes into BL2 we might not be in this situation

Unfortunately that's what happens. Because of Gearbox's shit Sega has to go down with them.
A shame really.
Sega should of kept a closer eye on what gearbox was doing, they could of cancelled the game before release and took gearbox to court.

Yeah you're right and I wouldn't be surprised if they did eventually take them to court after this.

Yeah but that also means all loss and no gain. They might as well try to gain some of their money back.

Well this is something, I don't think I've ever seen a game get sued purely because of how bad it was. :v:
The original demo did look so pretty. It really bogles the mind how you could totally change parts of the game that got heaps and heaps of positive reactions into something so ugly.

To be fair, Gearbox has been in the biz for over a decade now, until recently nobody's had any reason to put them under a microscope.

Gearbox did this EXACT same fucking thing with another one of their games years back.
Anybody remember brothers in arms: hells highway?
The E3 demo they showed of the game was fucking awesome. When the game was finally released, it bared NO fucking resemblance what so ever to that fucking demo.
This was our exact thoughts on the matter. WTF happened??
Well clearly they did it again.
