I think that Gearbox and SEGA deserve all the criticism they've received. I've heavily criticised them myself after completing Aliens: Colonial Marines on day one. The product we were given was unacceptable for the time in development, for the previous information, screenshots and videos, for the price, and for the potential that Gearbox has but fell short.
Gearbox let down their consumers and they disappointed.... but to throw a statement like "Gearbox cited as one of the worst game developers " is ridiculous. There are probably a thousand worse developers. Gearbox dropped the ball completely on this project. We've been given reasons such as pressure from SEGA, bad funding, the source being passed around multiple developers but Gearbox put their name to it in the end and they're taking a lot of well deserved criticism for it.
Are they one of the worst game developers out there? No.... and you should really provide evidence if you're going to claim something or just state your personal opinion. They've proven themselves to be an excellent game developer in the past - and that's what makes this game sting all the more, because we know what they're capable of.
