As you can see, Destructoid is in the process of replacing all material to do with the hypothetical game that doesn't exist yet, Sonic Unleashed, with a song about two priests and a lovely horse. This is because we hate getting sued and Sega's legal department probably won't take us to court over horse songs.
If anybody would like to now question whether all those
images and that
gameplay video were fake or not, please GTFO. Not that I'm going to say this confirms anything. Can I say that? Probably not.
Also, while I've got your attention Sega, what gives!? I've been trying to talk to you guys all week about setting up one of us with a review copy of Viking and I didn't get a single reply. Must we poor and simple indie bloggers break copyright law to get games publishers to talk to us these days? Well ... I'm hurt. From the bottom of my heart, I am hurt, and I want an apology card. With a balloon. And a copy of Viking.
I wrote all those posts while dying of flu, too, and they've had to be scrapped. That deserves a balloon. I don't know why I bother ...

1) Those screenshots and that video are really from Sonic Unleashed.
2) Sega has a retarded PR department that doesn’t know when it’s got a good thing on its hands.
I just hope you guys never find the video of me, the goat, and the badger.
That will have to do for now. D:
I heard it on the elevator coming in here.
Sigh.
What the fuck. o_o
It seems the entire game industry has gone insane lately. EA claims to be nice while trying to buy everyone up still, Nintendo attempts the internet again, a Bioshock MMO discussed, Jack Thompson created a Dtoid account...
I fear for our passtime.
Sega should thank you for all the pain and suffering of writing AAA+++ material while having the flu.. And give you a balloon in any color you want... ..And a copy of viking.
Just sayin'
And considering how much the Sonic franchise has screwed its fans over the years, I liken it to making the Hitler 'stache trendy again.
Why would they object to all the good publicity and feedback?
no.... I actually didnt

I've always loved the first one, you would think it would get back to SEGA at some point. Seriously they should take the advice in that first YTMND. Although crude it, there are some solid points made. Hope they cheer you up Sterling. Sega has no idea what it's doing PR wise or game wise, fuck those cunts.
I always thought it was on a public FTP.
I think of it like this: It's like giving away free cookies in a dark alleyway, then asking people to give them back because the free cookies were only for your friends, even if you never said that.
anyway, why sue destructoid? it was on a different website first if i remember correctly
seems to me like Sega just doesn't like robots...maybe they think dr. robotnik is behind this site.
