Sega moves for $1.25M Aliens: Colonial Marines settlement Aliens: Colonial Marines publisher Sega has moved to settle a class-action lawsuit brought against the company regarding alleged false advertising to the tune of $1.25 million, according to court documents filed with the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Should the motion be accepted, plaintiffs Damion Perrine and John Locke would receive $2,500, while $312,500 would be used to cover their attorney fees. Administration fees would total $200,000. That leaves $735,000 to be divvied up among members of the class filing the lawsuit, with each share not exceeding $59.99. Game Informer reports that the number of claimants is estimated to be roughly 135,000 people, which equals roughly $5.44 per payout. While thats not exactly what wed call rolling in the dough, the case could nonetheless set an interesting precedent for the way games are advertised. The days of the infamous bullshot could - could! - be numbered. If accepted by the court, the motion would protect Sega - but not developer Gearbox - from further litigation.
