Was looking forward to playing a quick bit of Aliens: Colonial Marines before work and the .exe is missing. Thanks Gearbox. Thanks a lot. Dicks.

[EDIT] It's fixed but not in time for me to play before starting work, I do advise everyone to have a look at the comments in the steam forums.

Some of the comments on the steam forums thread are pretty funny :)

"well thats great , thats just f#$%ing great man "
Looks for exe file doesnt find it.. " now what f@#k we are supposed to do"
Looks at steam " we're in some real deep ♥♥♥♥ now man"
Fails to launch game again, buries face in keyboard "thats it man , game over man game over!"
Steam's useful advice "maybe we could build a fire, sing a couple of songs"

"hey gearbox...have you ever been mistaken for a developer?"

"Well, somebody's gonna have to go out there. Take a portable Playstation, go out there and patch in manually."
"Oh yeah, sure, with no executable running around? You can count me out!"

"10 minutes.... 9 minutes.... 8 minutes... "
"-then it's right on us"
"what the hell... -7 minutes, -10 hours"
"that's not possible, that's right on my hard drive"
"It's reading right man, look"
"Then Steam isn't listing it right".

Well, seems that Gearbox are screwing it hard with this title.

I'm sorry for all of you who bought it, but after the issue with some untagged Russian gifts, then this. And not to mention that opinions on the game classify it as dissapointing at the best.

I hope those issues are fixed soon though.

I personally find it rather humbling that a group of people have got together and embraced what they truly enjoy and love - fucking up PC releases. Oh Gearbox, you are a shining light in the darkness to all of us.

A $4.99 DLC will be released this week, containing the executable file and 5 new costumes for the aliens including a nice loud Hawaiian shirt, for that extra fear factor, and a timeless black tuxedo for the more sophisticated alien-about-town.

Reminds me of the chestburster in Spaceballs that came out with a top hat and was dancing around the table at the end. :)
