It's unsalvageable. You will never get another story about literally who people trying to get by in barely habitable planet, it's been about magical special queer people ever since 2nd game
As much as I hate Randy and Borderlands writing at least the games actually fucking sell unlike Volition and their absolute refusal to make any even remotely good games since Red Faction Guerilla
Not him but I do, there was a period where some autistic group of idiots tried pushing them as if they were "healing video games" because the D.A.H remake had attractive women in it, and that they were going to make really good games. They even tried to act like they had absolutely nothing to do with Saint's Row being shit and full of the "woke" crap they constantly complained about.

You love to see it. Happens every time, will happen every time. Retards with millions to billions of dollars will never learn the name means nothing, it's all the people who made it. Too bad some of these retards don't learn and still buy trash anyway, see Blizztards for sucking Blizzards cock even though that dog shit company never made a good game and certainly never made a good one after Activision bought them.
anon i agree entirely with your statement but there is one little flaw ... activision didnt buy blizzard they got merged TOGETHER by vivendi before they fucked off and left that mess in shambles

I love Risk of Rain, but I hate that Hopoo sold out. But Gearbox dying would be good. Hopefully no one buys them and they sink.

Embracer literally has every bit of the comically fractured Duke Nukem IP.
They can literally tell Bitchford to stop being a gay and release to 2001 build of DNF and they are gonna sell Gearbox without having done a single thing with Duke
And people unironically believed that a new Legacy of Kain would be released when they bough the IP lolmao
At this point , it would have been better with square still owning it unlike Deux and TR, at least they would have released a shitty collection from consoles like they are doing with Gex
Please for the love of christ just shut them down like you did Volition
>Borderlands IP goes to different studio
>They remove all the millenial writing and it's like BL1 again
Pls
It's unsalvageable. You will never get another story about literally who people trying to get by in barely habitable planet, it's been about magical special queer people ever since 2nd game
just as long as they stay away from more fucking Sirens. just futuristic old west bounty/treasure hunters.
Fuck Anthony Burch and all the evil he has wrought
>It turns into a PvP extraction game.
BL2 writing was good
Gearbox has IP that is actually worth something at sale unlike Volition.
2K owns the Borderlands IP.
No they don't.
2k only publishes borderlands
FUCKING DO IT!
Borderlands is a cash cow nobody who loves money would kill gearbox since the only fos skinner box that comes close is destiny 2
Gearbox is worth keeping around due to Borderlands. If the studio got shut down there would be no telling whose hands the franchise ends up in.
As much as I hate Randy and Borderlands writing at least the games actually fucking sell unlike Volition and their absolute refusal to make any even remotely good games since Red Faction Guerilla
BAD ASS

Remember when all the lil chuddies here thought this was going to save gaming from le left
....no?

i remember a bunch of saudis were involved, which is pretty fucking far from left
For what it's worth those Saudis are gone now, which is why they're selling stuff off.
remember when you had chud derangement syndrome?
sorry chuds, you lost. again.
the only person who lost is your dad
>chuds expecting swedecucks to do anything
you haven't been around enough chuds retard
Damn, they didn't even keep them for 2 more than years.
>Gearbox will actually die in your lifetime
BADASS
>Volition
>Queerbox
Wtf is wrong with embracer
Who in their right minds would buy gearbox for that much money?
Elon Musk
SIE bought Bungie for over 3 billion USD, there are a lot of idiots in this industry.

Merged with them, then. Either way, it's all dookie running down a pants leg.
I can understand that, Destiny 2 give the company like 3 million bucks per year and want marathon to do the same.
Gearbox outside BL is nothing
Gearbox owns RoR now, for better or worse
Out of all companies imagine buying fucking Gearbox
I very much would sacrifice RoR for gearbox
>Embracer
I wonder how much it would cost to get deus ex ip...
>finally get some hope that Deus Ex MD will get its sequel after Square sold it
>new owner starts to go tits up
fuck Tencent are going to end up with it aren't they
Gearbox is worth $0 without borderlands.
ALWAYS BET ON DUKE
>Risk of Rain 1 is great

I love Risk of Rain, but I hate that Hopoo sold out. But Gearbox dying would be good. Hopefully no one buys them and they sink.
only tencent, 2k, or ebin games would buy them.
>get woke

oh wait i forgot, microsoft would also buy them to turn borderlands into some cancer live service game like destiny.

Man? No.
Good thing she's gone but it happened too late.
Didn't he also try to say his son was looking up cp because "he wanted to watch people his age"?
>>Has an odd number of pictures of himself on toilets or bathroom floors
The weirdest thing about this one is that there's one where he's in Penn and Teller's mansion's bathroom floor for some reason
That's because Randy is a fellow fagician and owns the Magic Castle in Hollywood
You forgot the important thing

How the hell did he not end up getting arrested for that?
Because of "Them"
The rules are different when you have money.
Literal pedophilia is a small price to pay for the noble individuals that create jobs, it's only fair.
That sweaty ass look of him seems to be the signature goyslop producer appearance I swear every pic of him looks like that
MFW I'm not Randy Pitchford.
>t. not Randy Pitchford
feels good!
Feels good
I swear randy bitchford is the most pathetic soul left in gaming since Phil fish left to be a loser Canadian dj.
But leftists said garden gnomes were smart? Why didn't Embracer know their investment was bad?
arabs are semites too, saudi arabs are garden gnomeier than garden gnomes. average arab saudi is richer than orthodox or hasidi garden gnome in israel
They just have oil you tard.
Stfu retard
Embracer is ran by clowns
what was the point in buying them then? has a gearbox game even released after they bought them?
They literally impulse-bought Gearbox not two years ago and now they want to sell it like it's a fad gone dry. Is Embracer staffed by women?.
They got fucked over by losing the deal with the saudis, Embracer operates on a cycle of
>Issue new shares to raise money
>Use money to buy assets that increase the value of the company
>Issue new shares to raise money
>Repeat ad infinum
The saudis likely had a financial advisor that told them Embracer is a pyramid scheme.

Reminder that Embracer owns Warhorse Studios and you are never getting a KCD followup that isn't pozzed to shit
>female morons
>as knights in 1405 Bohemia
i hope not
Did Embracer even do anything with gearbox?
no lol, that's the funny bit, they literally bought them, did nothing with them and now are selling them
>Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
>New Tales from the Borderlands
no wonder they want to sell
Embracer seem like fucking idiots that just throw their money around and accomplish nothing
it's all a scam to drive stock price up
its was all a scam to hog all lost and cheap IPs and then sell them to saudis. except it didnt work.
they bought tons of AA developers, gave them AAA money, expected AAA sales in return, got AA sales
Sounds kino. We need more people willing to do that
*your favourite niche game developer becomes a tax writeoff in your path* nothing personnel kid
>last year everyone was praising embracer for buying up studio's for cheap
>now everyone thinks they're fucking idiots
Can't they just kill the studio and keep the IP?
why keep dead IP?
They were banking everything on that Saudi deal, huh?
>Twitter screencap
*X
Even Elon still says "Twitter" on occasion.
don't dead name please
FREE DUKE NUKEM
Embracer is beginning its death spiral. I wonder if they'll flip the Square Enix studios they bought considering it only cost them 300mil
The hilarious thing is that they didn't even bough all the ips the SE europe had. Only the hacks of CD, and 4 ips
Borderlands could have a chance of having booth good story and gameplay.
>DNF
>Colonial Marines
>Battleborn
Borderlands 3 must have been their make or break game.
Just the company, right? Not their IPs?
of course their IPs lol
I just want Duke away from them.
