S&S News: Sega and Gearbox hit with Lawsuit over Aliens: Colonial Marines

Sega and Gearbox has come under more fire for Aliens: Colonial Marines, as they've been hit with a class action suit....


The defendant is suing Sega and Gearbox over false advertising, saying that when the game was shown at E3 and PAX, it didn't represent the final product.

"Each of the 'actual gameplay' demonstrations purported to show consumers exactly what they would be buying: a cutting edge video game with very specific features and qualities," the claim reads. "Unfortunately for their fans, Defendants never told anyone — consumers, industry critics, reviewers, or reporters — that their 'actual gameplay' demonstration advertising campaign bore little resemblance to the retail product that would eventually be sold to a large community of unwitting purchasers."

I didn't think it would get this far, but it did.
