Last week I wrote about how developers and publishers in the video game industry seem to be taking our business for granted, and how we shouldn’t be rolling over and letting them get away with it. One of the examples I dredged up from the sewers of shame was the release of Aliens: Colonial Marines, made by Gearbox (kinda) and published by SEGA. It had disappeared under the radar for a while, probably because we had other releases to go and be disappointed with, and the companies slunk off to lick their wounds and pretend like it never happened.
Well, it would appear that they’re not as off-the-hook as they appeared to be. A class-action lawsuit has been submitted, calling out Gearbox and SEGA as being guilty of ‘false-advertising’.
