Anonymous whistle blower claims Gearbox stole from SEGA

[Update:Just to make it clear, I have been able to corroborate thebasic informationpresented by “Danielson,” not his more editorialized opinions. I can’t back his claims of “embezzlement” — likely more an emotional response on his part than anything else. I cannot vouch for the blogger firsthand, only the information I’ve been able to double check with my trusted sources — chiefly that Gearbox had at leasttriedto present SEGA an unfavorable contract, the game was slated for cancellation and later resurrected, and that Gearbox was not fully truthful with the publisher on how much work it was putting intoAliens....

Behold Armikrog, the spiritual sequel to The Neverhood

Claymation lives on! The Neverhoodwas one of the more unfortunate commercial failures of the point-and-click era. It was a one-of-a-kind (two-of-a-kind if you include itsPS1 platformer sequel) claymation adventure from the mind of Doug TenNapel, creator ofEarthworm Jim.

Butsurprise, surprise! TenNapel has rejoined Mike Dietz and Ed Schofield, both who have worked onEarthworm JimandThe Neverhood, for a spiritual sequel calledArmikrog....
