It was announced today, November 24th, 2008, that Gearbox Software, facing financial difficulties due to the lackluster sales of Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood, have reprioritized their development staff and budgets on their upcoming games; specifically negatively affecting progress on the upcoming game Aliens: Colonial Marines. As devout fans of the films or of gaming in general, we fear that the game's quality or even its release may be jeopardized by this reprioritization. We believe that there is already considerable community interest in the property, stemming in no small part from the game's presence on a recent cover of Game Informer magazine, and the popularity of screenshots and teaser trailers on sites such as Youtube and Gametrailers.com. We add our voices to the throngs, asserting in no uncertain terms, our support for Aliens: Colonial Marines, and our curiousity, hope, and excitment to play the finished product. We want to play it, and you will have our business should you finish the game to the full potential of the game's grand ambitions.
Seeing the count climb toward five hundred gives me hope that we can actually get the attention of the team at Gearbox. I have been dreaming about this game since it was announced and I know I am not the only one who refuses to let this project disappear. Please post this link to your social media accounts now because we need to hit that milestone before they make any final decisions.

I have spent years hoping for a proper Aliens game and watching this progress stall out is heartbreaking. We need to push past the hundred mark today so the studio sees just how many of us are still waiting for this vision to be finished.
