i blame Sega and the online requirement and steam requirement and the DRM. the game looked good. it's obscene requirements are what killed it for PC users, just ask 'server is down for 3 days of every week to nerf the game for bottle babies to win' Activision (Blizzard) in Diablo3

I for one was very excited when I heard A: CM was being released then waited for reviews only to be very disappointed. It is amazing that Gearbox bends over backwards for 2K Games with decent games then just shafts Sega with a potentially huge franchise in Aliens. If allegations are true then there is definitely something wrong with the relationship between Sega and Gearbox along with Sega's lack of overseeing projects. Also whats the deal with Gearbox hiring cheap 3rd party devs for A: CM?!? For such a highly publicized title Gearbox crapped all over it, make zero sense.

What is retarded about what I said?

[citation][nom]jabliese[/nom]So, nobody at Sega bothered to play A:CM before giving the OK to release?[/citation]Kind of late in the game to shop around for a new dev, isn't it? Gearbox already managed to get a delay out of them. I mean it's easy to say in hindsight that "Sega shoulda done knowed better hurr derr hurr" but this was Gearbox's project, and I'm positive they made promises and showed progress, etc. Basically they were very good at stalling, and then rushed the game out and it was just too late by then to do anything but get it ready and launch it, disappointing or not.

Any more delays were unacceptable, especially after they realized the extent to which they'd been duped. Heck, they were probably looking at DNF thinking "Gee, if we delay it again, is it really going to help anything? They'll probably just go back to outsourcing and work on Borderlands 3."
