The Official Borderlands 3 thread.... EXPLOSIONS!

Pitchford tells a fan “Fuck off, troll”, when said fan complains about the Epic exclusivity.

Yeah.

Fuck you, and the randy whore-bitch that whelped you, Randy.

haha, man what is this shit with people in entertainment these days… they just can’t help but eventually insult or talk down to the fans…? For a long time that was generally common sense that you don’t do that. It’s like the current-era people in tv/movies/games keep temporarily losing their better judgement on this kind of thing.
sheeeeit, regardless of my real opinion on various issues… if I had a show, movie or game coming out soon… last thing I would do is get caught up in that…it might make more sense to wait until your product has already sold millions and THEN start running off at the mouth :laughing:

Randy has been on a twitter tirade ever since the epic exclusivity was announced. Not only is he telling fans to fuck off and also been attacking Steam for letting fans review bomb the previous games.

Oooh, is that how it is? I could definitely spend 60 dollars somewhere else then.

honestly that legit makes me sad. I’m usually taking the consumer side 95/100 when it comes to stuff like that. What a bummer of a day.

Even more interesting tidbits come out:

So, on top of all the other anticonsumer bullshit, it seems like the game sucks now, too, because BL3 isn’t even like the first 3 anymore, because Randy insisted on butchering the original BL3 into an online-style game.

Dying in a fire would be far, far too good for Randy Pitchford.

I’m skeptical of that note. By dating themselves with “Gearbox 2009”, they limit the number of people who could have written it. How many people in that studio have been there for that long?

That line about everything you liked abour BL1+2 is not there is Bl3? we’ll have to wait and see how this pans out… it seems randy wants bl3 to be the new fortnite? revenue model wise…?

I think it is brilliant.

Especially if they came on board after 2009.

Obfuscation by Doyle purloin-ment, as were.

I have my doubts about it too. The guy brings up story a lot when Borderlands isn’t a story rich series. The first game barely had any plot and BL2 is mostly memes and character interactions.

Further, look at Moze’s design.

She practically SCREAMS “Made for multiplayer. Sucks for the rest of ya.”

I think by “story”, the poster meant “campaign” re: single player.

Or this is all bullshit and it’s just more angry fan drama trying to add fuel to the fire.

If read his recent tweets. Clearly he’s a cunt. But how vindictive and personal fans are taking this I would be surprised if it’s just a fan trying to fan the flames

Or it is, y’know, legit.

Time will tell.

My money is on its being legit info.

But hey, I could be completely wrong.

It will be fun revisiting this spot on this thread’s timeline, come October.

I’m not denying that it could be true. Just saying fans are taking this is it likely just bait to make people even angrier about the whole situation.

Out of curiosity, do you understand the ramifications of the spyware that is the Epic Store?

Of course. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be upset.

I just don’t understand why people are taking it personal like someone murdered your dog so you have to go John wick the whole company.

So you’re cool with that?

Just asking for clarification.

It’s like this

But with personally owed computers and consoles instead of corporate and government servers.

Yes the Government China really, really wants to spy hard on the US and the EU.

Seeing this, it made more sense why the US government a while back banned Furrbies from all work fedural work environments.
