It did pretty well financially and players love it.

Pretty poor. Player count is bad and design is off.

This is what you get gearbox for not focusing and making Borderlands 3, and instead making this multiplayer garbage that no one will buy.

Actual sales are half a million so it didn't do terribly.

130,000 on steam
270,000 physical copies

Less than 1000 daily players on steam. Where did they all go?

It did well for us! We think we have made a fantastic game, with solid mechanics and a cast of loveable characters. Please go check it out. It's only 29.99€ on steam. That's a steal for a game of this magnitude!

According to some random source it made around 18 mill. Not shabby, but overwatch made over 260 mill

You opened up by calling it hot garbage, then ask how badly it was received. Are you just looking for someone to validate that opinion, or what?

If so, then yes. It's pretty lackluster.

Who cares? Gearbox got their money already.

Why do they keep losing players?

Isn't there FM16?

>>343059092
Long queue times, and unbalanced matchmaking make people less likely to keep playing
Therefore creating longer queue times and making matches even more unbalanced

It's the paradox of online only, matchmaking only games.
>>
>>343059092
Vicious cycle, not enough players to actually play the multiplayer so they leave and that means there's less people to play so wait times for matches are even longer and so on and so forth.

I am hearing a lot of rumors about how Gearbox is handling the game and how well they are or are not doing.

Sadly nothing concrete as of yet. Would love to get some sources on any of these rumors.

Gearbox is negotiating with Investors to avoid layoffs

Gearbox has only broken even on the game.

Gearbox is hemorrhaging money.

Looked into it, the battleborn wiki states the game has grossed 18 million, the creators say the game has cost them more than borderlands 1 and 2 combined and borderlands 2 cost them 30 to 35 million to make.

Based on this I would say they most likely have not broken even. Off course the "borderlands 1 and 2 combined" cost was given by a man that many people would call a liar. We may never know the truth of the matter.

Grey-Mane or Battleborn?

Problem with the game is that to some, your not supposed to call it a moba, its a shooter and others will say the opposite.

In the end I found the game full of placebo like grinding that really did not matter. When I played most people did nto bother with legendary items because they cost too much during play to unlock (you have to unlock each item every time you play) and most players just stuck with the items that did not cost any crystals to unlock during a missions.

Thus making Legendary items worthless.

The issue is, is that I don't see a reason why he would lie on how much money they invested in a game. Unless they were trying to make it seem like "Hey guys we put a lot of money into this, so it's gunna be good, plz buy it!"
