A class action lawsuit has been filed against SEGA and developer Gearbox regarding Aliens:

In a lawsuit obtained by Polygon, plaintiff claims "that Gearbox and Sega falsely advertised

Aliens by showing demos at trade shows like PAX and E3 which didn't end up being accurate

The demos were advertised as "actual gameplay" at the time, yet portrayed a level of "graphical

fidelity, AI behavior, and even entire levels not featured in the game."

The suit explains that by having reviews under an embargo that lifted the day of release,

consumers did not have time to learn from critics about the difference in quality in

the final product compared to early footage.

The claim argues: "Each of the 'actual gameplay' demonstrations purported to show consumers

exactly what they would be buying: a cutting edge video game with very specific features

"Unfortunately for their fans, Defendants never told anyone — consumers, industry

critics, reviewers, or reporters — that their 'actual gameplay' demonstration advertising

campaign bore little resemblance to the retail product that would eventually be sold to a

large community of unwitting purchasers."

The suit also points to this Twitter post from Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford, which acknowledges

that the difference between the original demo and final game is "understood and fair and

we are looking at that. Lots of info to parse, lots of stake holders to respect."

Earlier this month, SEGA agreed to add a disclaimer to trailers stating that they are not reflective

of the final product. The planned Wii U version of the game was also canceled.

We've reached out to SEGA and Gearbox about the suit and will update you with any comment

we receive. Until then, stay tuned to IGN.
