unless this game had 500m+ invested into it I'm going to say no
I doubt this games entire budget even comes close to SWTOR's marketing budget

Stop shilling Kotaku.

>Bought it day 1
>They have a marketplace for packs of gear and loadout slots
>There's a Playstation market place tab with nothing in it
>Knew there'd be paid content since day one
>Couple that with the leaked skins that we've known about for weeks
This really, truly should not come as a surprise.

They're retarded for trying to compete in the same genre as Blizzard in the first place, really.
Blizzdrones eat whatever Blizz shits out and on top of that Overwatch isn't a bad game. Neither is Battleborn, but it's not a Blizzard game so people aren't going to flock to it without some enticing.
Best thing they could have done is released the game a year or so after Overwatch so when everyone has already experienced OW and maybe are looking for new things, bam, Battleborn comes out.
To release basically the same week as OW was fucking stupid. Not to mention their cringeworthy tweets at Blizzard. It's like releasing an action movie on Star Wars release weekend. You just don't do it.
I guess they thought since HoTS was so shit, Blizzard's next genre endeavor would also suck. How wrong they were. I actually feel bad for them because Battleborn is good.

TOR actually became profitable and turned itself into a decent single player RPG so no.

But they only invested in Borderlands 2...
