@UltimateBastard: I have about 50 skins for Borderlands 3 along with a bunch of heads and vehicle colors and patters and haven't spent a dime on cosmetics. It's not like they don't have a ton of looks in the game already. The one's you buy in the store are unnecessary to enjoy the game and extra on top of the ton of stuff you get in game.
This is a stupid way of doing business. NEVER agree to anything unless it's writing. I don't think these people are scammers. It just sounds like they have no clue when it comes to the business side of things. That and getting carried away with their own hype. Some people need to stick to working for people who know what they're doing instead of trying to go out on their own.
@angrycreep: I find it funny that they were working on a first person Metroid then suddenly stopped in 2015 and now deny they ever worked on such a thing. http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Metroid_(MercurySteam_prototype) I think you're right. I think they were trying to make Metroid an FPS due to how popular they are because they didn't understand just how popular 2D sidescrollers still are. I think the fan game threw them for a loop.
@helldew Runic doesn't get the money from pre-order sales until the game is released. Hence, why you can get a refund for a pre-ordered game on Steam vs not being able to get a refund once the game is released. The game was fully budgeted to completion before production started as Runic is no longer 'indie'.
The headline is inaccurate. Travis never said that the game was being delayed. Runic has stated that the game is still on track for a 'Summer 2012' release.
