Aliens: Colonial Marines Lawsuit Loses Class Status; Drops Gearbox

Polygon has the latest on the lawsuit over Aliens: Colonial Marines, where consumers are protesting how the finished product differed from what was marketed. They report a judge recently denied Gearbox's motion to be dropped from the case, but that a settlement proposed since then will drop the developer from the case with prejudice (meaning they cannot be drawn back into the case) in exchange for waiving rights to recoup legal fees. The court has also stripped the case of its Class Action status, which may impact ongoing negotiations with SEGA to settle the case. Word is: "The court notes from the May 27 meeting between the attorneys doesn't explain exactly why the plaintiffs dropped Gearbox from the suit. But it does seem to indicate that the developer's unwillingness to settle and the loss of class action status forced the hand of the plaintiff's attorneys who are now in renewed settlement discussions with Sega." Thanks GamePolitics.
