Gearbox Threatens To 'Expand Outside' Texas Over Anti-Trans Bill -

[Maude Snew]

Not any more, those belong to THQ Nordic now after the buy out.

So wait does that mean that Homeworld also now belongs to them? There is a god.

Fuck gearbox for taking down the Duke Nukem Megaton Edition. It was the best version of the game. It had 3 Expansion Packs (Duke it out in DC, Life's a Beach and Nuclear Winter) and was really easy to get running.
I mean sure Nuclear Winter was a Mediocre set of maps but the other two were excellent.

PC sales are minuscule to how many units these games sell for on the console. They're also aware that a good chunk of the people not buying it on Epic will hold out for it on Steam, which happened since BL3 was on the top selling list for Steam upon release with a total of 93k playing it upon its launch (https://steamcharts.com/app/49520)

Apples and Oranges, but BL2 is said to have sold 10 to 20 million copies on Steam alone. That's allegedly half of all total BL2 sales.

Business wise, the exclusivity made sense - a pile of cash from sales is great, but a pile of cash for a "timed exclusivity" up front and then more cash from sales 6 months later is even better. It's even more good if you can use the lack of sales (that you sabotaged) to lessen/remove bonuses you've promised to you developers as well - which is what they allegedly did.

Fuck Gearbox for being so evil, while also making Borderlands 2, which is genuinely one of my favorite games of all time. That just makes me so mad. I used to think the company that made Borderlands 2 would obviously be amazing, and it would be foolish to think otherwise.

Borderlands is shit and always has been.

This one stings because I bought the Atomic Edition which only came with the initial four episodes. I didn't really know what the difference between the two editions were (I was a young dumb kid who barely knew anything about the expansion packs so it didn't occur to me the Megaton one was more "complete") and by the time I found out Gearbox had already removed them.

What's insulting is that Blood and Shadow Warrior's re-releases contain the third-party expansion packs (and were originally unreleased in Shadow Warrior's case) yet Gearbox won't even make the Duke Nukem packs easily available for consumers.

They only made the PC port of Nightfire.

It's also laughably bad compared to it's console counterparts.

It wasn't even a port, it was a bad recreation of the console game made with the GoldSrc engine.

The only decent port they did was THPS3 for PC, their Halo port was a mixed bag, having an SDK is neat, but it has graphical problems that still plague modern versions of the game to this day, i even remember an old forum post in which Randy complained about the criticism his port had, i wish i could find it.
