Borderlands 3 will sort things out

edit: why have I gone back to 0 posts and no friends on my friends list? I had to sign in again for some reason too. Is there any way I can contact a mod about this?

1 posts since 12/10/12? It even recognises that I've been here since then.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I read somewhere that anonymous gearbox employees are saying that Timegate dumped all the previous assets and began building their own stuff and when gearbox got it back they were shocked and unhappy.. I mean.. who believes that.. like Timegate got the time, money and reason to do that.. when you have a subcontracter they ain't gonna do things that will costs them more time and money.. and no gearbox supervisior would have seen that? "hey man, that looks different then the stuff we gave you" ..

gearbox thought they vould pull another brother in arms where they also showed an "in game" demo much better then the final product but the final product was still very good.. but this time they gambled and lost..


Wouldn't that actually cost them LESS time and money in the longterm?

Gearbox gives them some high quality detailed graphics that would take a LOT of effort to match... so they get rid of it and use the lower quality less work graphics.

Blame Gearbox. I knew it was all them. Of course Sega was well aware of it's condition but clearly Gearbox wasn't fucking getting anywhere and didn't give two shits. Sega gave Gearbox chance after chance delaying the game again and again. Don't blame Sega. It's all Gearbox. Spending the money they got from Sega under Borderlands? How fucking low can you get?

...how would a tester know that?

Testers don't tend to even interact with the developing stuido as far as I know.
