The sad thing is, not buying the game hurts SEGA, not Gearbox.  Gearbox already got paid to make the game (or in their case, not make the game)

SEGA is now the people who will get hurt or succeed financially based on sales.

I say everyone instead boycot Brothers in Arms Furious 4.  That's a game made by Gearbox and published by Ubisoft.  Both those companies need  swift kick in the ass right now.

Oh I meant boycott them in the general sense. I'm done with Gearbox, period. After I beat Boarderlands from PS+ that's it. I'll support Sega some other way, possibily by picking up Vanquish and Bayonetta after I make a few purchases next month (I already planned to ge them anyway).

If it is one thing I have learned is that consumers have a lot of power in numbers. DmC is the most recent example of this notion. Hopefully, people apply the same concept with Gearbox and their future endeavors. What they did is wholly unacceptable and they won't get my money.

 

As for Ubisoft .... lol I'm not a Wii U owner yet so it doesn't sting me, but I understand (assuming that is what you were alluding to).

DId you pick up aliens?

Sorry I overlooked that. No I have not. I had the pre order in though, but then I decided to pull it when I heard it had an embargo. Shortly after I saw the reviews and I played it by my friend (360 version). Not worth the time, money or effort.
