Gearbox stal från Sega för att göra Borderlands

Ordkriget om praktfiaskot Aliens: Colonial Marines fortsätter sedan en person som säger sig vara en före detta Sega-anställd gått ut med att Gearbox stal Segas pengar för att göra Duke Nukem Forever och Borderlands, skriver Destructoid (som även säger sig ha verifierat att personen är den han utger sig för att vara).

"Gearbox stole from Sega, they robbed us, lied to us about the game, and tried to get another company to make the game instead", säger personen ifråga.

Han fortsätter: "Pitchford and Gearbox wanted to focus heavily on Duke Nukem Forever, but how would they get the money to hire some of the 3D Realms team and even buy the intellectual property? Sure, they made a lot from Borderlands, but guess where they got the money to fund Borderlands in the first place? Yup, Sega."

De allvarliga anklagelserna fortsätter: "So Gearbox essentially lied to Sega, mishandled funds, broke agreements and contractual obligations to work on other projects, didn't want to work on a game they were contractually obligated to work on and gave it to another team, poor organization and direction on ACM, took on too many projects from different companies at once, and other things that we may not even know about. Hell, part of me believes that Gearbox wanted this thing delayed as much as possible so they can get more funding money to embezzle from Sega."

Angående frågan vad Sega borde ha gjort istället för att släppa spelet, avslutar han såhär: "I strongly believe that Sega should not have released the game and made the fans pay for it, they should have taken Gearbox straight to court, because they stole money from us to fund Borderlands and Duke Nukem Forever."
