Aliens: Colonial Marines Feb/12/2013
GarandMarine:
So, the Dev and publishers are now being sued for the MASSIVE disparity between the game and the trailer. Thoughts? I'm going for justified here, false advertising is false advertising.
ackblom12:
I say justified, but it might have some rather nasty industry consequences. At best, I'm hoping the charges will stick and maybe finally get the publishers to stop with so much of the obvious marketing bullshit that saturates every single game marketing campaign. At worst, they win and get to continue what they were already doing.
The problem is its going to be realllllly difficult to convince a court that it was intentional, outside of marketing norms. Especially in a way that doesn't just come off as 'it wasn't as good as I'd hoped'.
GarandMarine:
Sounds like the lawyer at the helm of the case really knows his shit though, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
de_la_Nae:
Dohohohohohoho...my inner social troll hopes this works. We'll see though.
RedWolf4:
There should be the hope that it doesn't prevent people from trying to make games on old franchises though. As much as I want these guys reamed, I don't want developers going "Hey, why don't we try to do a game for this franchise?"
"Maybe, but you remember Colonial Marines? If we fuck up like they do, we could get our asses sued shut."
So hoping for a middle ground, y'know?
