Terminator Salvation Game Launched, PC Version Recalled

Posted by Soulskill on from the stop-making-mediocre-tie-ins dept.

On Tuesday, the video game tie-in to the Terminator Salvation movie was launched for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Most reviews pegged the game as solidly mediocre; IGN said, "the action is fairly tame throughout and the cutscenes are stunningly ordinary. And yet despite the poor presentation, there are some clever gameplay elements that make Terminator enjoyable. Too bad that joy only lasts a handful of hours before the credits roll." However, customers who had purchased the retail PC version ran into installation errors, leaving them unable to play the game. Now, publisher Evolved has issued a recall for that version of the game, saying, "a defect occurred during replication," and promising a replacement plan for people who had purchased it.

    Riiight.

    I wonder if they decided that they had to put assloads of DRM in and THAT was what was broken.

    Sounds more like 'a defect occured in QAing replicated discs'.
