At the very least gearboxes reputation now lies in absolute tatters (From what I gather gearbox used the funds sega gave it for A.C.M to make boarderlands instead) and personally I'll likely avoid buying anything they release in the future.
Frankly if anyone is going to be suing Sega, I'd be assuming it'd be Sega. Since Sega hypothetically gave it MORE than enough time to work on the game. They just faffed about working on different projects. I'm not a legal expert, but it sounds like Sega would have SOMETHING to complain about Gearboxes actions.
