    Glad to see we will have more ear drum shattering GWAIL BAWKS in our future.

  2. Purchased Gearbox for 1.3 Billion and sold them for 460 Million. Nearly one third of what they paid to buy them. What a play Embracer

  3. It stands to reason that Take-Two, holding the publishing rights to Borderlands, would be the primary candidate for acquiring Gearbox.

  4. Is that greasy bastard Randy still with Gearbox?

    I’m so happy with this.

    I love the Borderlands gameplay for its coop and casualness while still giving a sense of progression.

    They could even add base defense like Fallout 4 tries to do but doesn’t really achieve fun.

    Give me more.

    I always forget that they weren’t already owned by Take-Two.

  7. Just give me competent writers, no more of this cringe over-explained millennial jokes from writers who are so terrified to offend the wrong people that they might as well skip the jokes all together because how tame and repetitive they are

    So, does this mean we can eventually get a follow up to Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway?

    Hope they can write a better story this time, id take the stuff they did for TTWL and the DLC for BL3* and use that as examples.

    Personally i actually liked the dragonlord and the villain in guns, love and tentacles and especially how the characters were in handsome jackpot.

    So more of that but from the main game please! Also give me krieg or a character that plays like him.

    *fixed from BG3 to BL3

    Gearbox has never made a great Game. I hate TakeTwo so I’m glad they are there since I ignore all TakeTwo Games.

    Please don’t make the antagonists typical influencer/youtubers again…

    Borderlands need to get with the times. Better movement, better build diversity, etc.

    I am longing for a day where you find the parts of weapons instead of complete ones and you assemble them yourself (think of a d4 inventory screen but instead of helmet, body, gloves, etc., you have stock, receiver, trigger). The whole system basically already exists as well.

    So Embracer buys Gearbox Entertainment in 2021 for 1.3 Billion dollars. Since then, Gearbox Software made Tiny Tina’s (published by 2K) and published Risk of Rain 2, now they are selling Gearbox for 460 million dollars. What happened?

    Hopefully this doesn’t fuck Homeworld 3

    Meh. Another C-tier borderlands game coming soon I guess. I’m more curious about that movie.

    You know, that clearly great movie that’s been stuck in post-production hell for years as they try to salvage some kind of film out of the garbage they shot.

    The movie Craig Mazin took a look at, tried to do what he could, and then insisted his real name not appear anywhere near it.

    Cate Blanchette, did they back a dump truck full of money up to your house?

    Bobby lee as claptrap, i can only imagine the dark shit he’ll say ingame

    Please make a good villain like handsome jack and not the two wanna be lackeys “wooowie” the Calypso twins were.

    Someone buy Eidos-Montreal. Let these people fucking make video games.

    I hope Embracer runs to the freaking ground.
