That's kind of the reason why it's karma.

They promised to make the game themselves.

They just chuck it at some half-wit studio that didn't have the resources for a sliver of what they were being paid, then released a buggy piece of shit and made it dead on arrival because muh profits.

They deserve every hardship coming to them.

Every single dance recital, every single soccer game, every single birthday they missed, they did it to themselves.

I was watching EasyAllies a couple days ago, and they made a good point about Borderlands 3.

People seem to be getting tired of Gearbox's 'LOLSOWACKY AND RANDOM ALSO MEMESSSS' writing.

Do you guys think Borderlands 3 will be fine if it has the same writing and Battleborn was just a different situation?

Or are people tired of the shitty writing, and they might need to change the writing direction for Borderlands 3?
>>
Nobody even bought the game when it was on sale.

You could charge 10 bucks for it and you still wouldn't get more than 1000 players average for longer than a week.

Wikipedia says that Sega agreed to pay a settlement, while Gearbox is still in legal battle.

>The suit was almost resolved in August 2014 when Sega and the plaintiffs reached a tentative settlement of $1.25 million, to be paid out to people who had purchased the game prior to February 13, 2013. Gearbox was asked to pay an additional $750,000 into the settlement, but instead filed a motion to have the case thrown out, arguing the blame should fall on Sega, who had final say on the game and its promotion, whereas Gearbox was just a contractor. Needless to say, Sega was not especially pleased about being thrown under the bus.

Battleborn was announced in July 2014. Let's assume that it started development in 2013.

So let's say it was in development for 3 years (was probably longer)
Probably had at least 100 people working on the game. (Website says they have 250+ people working there. http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/careers/ )
Everyone making let's say 80k each. (So all the high and low incomers are added to average)

800k a month.
9.6 million a year for people working on the game.

Game had to at LEAST cost 30ish million to make.

And this doesn't even include the marketing budget... or gamestop/store cut.

In short: Game flopped hard. Fucking HARD.

Actually if the game only made 18 million (>>345190839)
That means it didn't even sell 1 million copies. Or half a million copies. Somewhere over 250k copies.

Steamspy has BB Owners at: 144,189 - 164,159.

A lot of games are like this.
You have to remember some people buy it and are working or whatever on day 1.
Or never plan on playing it.
Or maybe live in EU or some shit and are sleeping.
Nothing out of the ordinary there really.

Example is
http://store.steampowered.com/app/381210/

Alll time peak is 18,504 (actually today)

Owners: 588,241 - 627,871 (holy shit wut?)

Steam people are weird.

>>345192469
It was clearly meant to be an F2P game but the devs realized how popular it was and slapped on an arbitrary price tag.

As opposed to Battleborn, which was meant to be a 60$ game, and has the complexity and larger amount of content to match.

every source i've talked to confirms battleborn on PS4 is alive and well, with matches usually taking 2-3 minutes to fill, longest usually 5 mins

not sure why it's so low at your gamestop. if you're not bullshitting. i checked online and it's listed as 60$ on gamestop, was that much when I went in-store. going to buy it off amazon for 40$ tomorrow.
