Isn't it possible that y'all are being a little rough on ol' Randy and Gearbox?

Guys?

I'm sure all will be forgiven once that film grain toggle is sorted...

Where do we start?

Used fund to create Alien: Colonial Marines on Borderland 1,2 and Duke Dukem Forever. Check
Constantly lying about their oassion toward the franchise when they had freaking 6 years to work on. Check
Lying about so many stuff like solving plotholes from the movies, and yet dare to charge extra buck for that content in dlc form. Check
Releasing game in unifinished state yet charging full retail price along with season pack, dlc. Check
Deceiving gamers through fake demo that looks far better than the final product. Check.

Now tell me. How can we be generous to Gearbox and Randy Bitchfraud?

They deserve to be stomped down until they can get back up with dignity.

Half the things you're quoting SEGA did.

I never said Sega is totally innocent. Hell, I blamed them for daring to demand to put COD elements to this game. That was stupid decision. Why bother obtaining liscense at all if they were to fill more than half of campaign with COD elements when COD kids won't even give a look at the game?
And for Sega releasing unfinished game despite knowing the poor quality has to do with Gearbox lying as well. As far as I know, they were unware of outsourcing.
And deceiving consumers were mostly done by Gearbox. I mean Randy Pitchfraud came to E3 and hyped the game through the demo. So no. Gearbox should take most of blame. One thing gaming industry should learn from this fiasco is good management.

So you're reporting the 'Gearbox took the Aliens money and spent it on Borderlands' rumour as fact then?

Im pretty sure it is fact.

All those interviewed employees of timegate/gearbox confirm it.

There's no real evidence that funds from Aliens: Colonial Marines were used to make any other games. This is just the type of conspiracy fanboy mannerism that gives gamers in a general a bad image. No, I'm not happy with the way the game turned out - I was seriously disappointed and upset - but I can move on.

I don't know what really happened to the game (neither do any of you) - we only have bits and pieces. Pointing the finger at Randy is easy enough, but that doesn't solve anything. Gearbox has delivered solid game series like Brothers in Arms and Borderlands, yet you just like to act as if they are the most evil company on Earth. Whatever happened to the game, it is obvious that it isn't solely Gearbox's fault. SEGA for one wanted the game to be more similar to Call of Duty series.
