They should have cancelled it. Seriously, fuck all of these excuses from people at Gearbox, TimeGate, and SEGA. All three of those companies dropped the ball and gave us a shitty game that was *promised* not to be shitty. In fact they kept saying over and over again it was supposed to be a fantastic use of the license.
The fact that SEGA and Gearbox knowingly approved this game, got it certified, and shipped it knowing full well it was crap, is inexcusable. The excuse of: "We had to release this complete POS game or risk a lawsuit" is hogwash. The fact is, they knew it was crap, they released it anyway, and now they have the audacity to give us lame excuses about who's fault it is or isn't that it turned out the way it did. It's all their fault. Someone should write a book covering the game's development saga in detail and other developers should use it as a manual about how *not* to make a licensed game in the future.
All the proof we need is right there in the pudding. They held reviews/opinions under embargo until the morning of release. The same thing EA did with MoH: Warfighter. It was intentional.
The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
