Then there's Aliens:Colonial Marines. Gear Box ripped them off. Period. It's painfully obvious that they took Sega's money and spent it on Borderlands 2. It would cost more to litigate that than Sega would ever get back though, so they're screwed. You could argue Sega should have kept a closer eye on Gearbox, but games like Aliens:CM were Gearbox's bread and butter. It's ridiculous that they'd pull that on Sega, since it pretty much burns every bridge they'll ever have in the industry.
It sounds like Sega kept a closer eye on Creative Assembly during the development of Alien: Isolation, likely because they had gotten burned by Gearbox.
Then again, Alien: Isolation is its own problem. While it sold over a million copies, Sega was hoping that it would sell much, much more than that.
Alien: Colonial Marines likely didn't help these sales numbers. I know I was initially hesitant on getting Alien: Isolation due to how poor Colonial Marines was..
