Gearbox has been under fire for false advertising claims ever since Aliens: Colonial Marines released. Several parties have even taken up legal action against the developer since then, and recently Gearbox’s own attorneys are starting to fight back. They want the class action lawsuits lobbied at the developer dropped, and have filed requests to have the lawsuits dropped. Steve Gibson, Gearbox’s vice president of Marketing has this to say:
“During the development process, Gearbox supplemented Sega’s development budget with its own money to help Sega finish its game; Gearbox’s contributions to A:CM totaled millions, none of which was ever repaid,”
Whether it was SEGA or Gearbox, the tale of Aliens: Colonial Marines only becomes more depressing as times goes on.
