No More Battleborn Updates Coming, But Servers Staying Online

In 30 years of gaming, it had the single most toxic community I have ever personally experienced in a multiplayer game. Some of the comments here give a taste of said community. Good riddance Battleborn.

Wow, good for them for supporting the game for so long. I'm sure the community playing it must be happy with the updates.

I know gaming culture loves to KILL games and consider them DOA but the truth is, some games can survive with a small dedicated audience, and that's all right too.

This is why people frothing at the mouth to celebrate the demise of lawbreakers are just silly.

Lol me and my buddie played till server's died. Trying to compete against fps with moba was a bad move. We loved it but no one else did. Most gamers are soft core...dont understand moba. So when they play they play like fps, yeah all the kills...but nope they get wrecked then go back to fps. This games dead on console. Im sorry so many gamers are trash and dont moba. I personally wish moba was more popular. Yet people dont know how to push lanes and stand in circles and little things like this...im sure over watch players are all over this. Yet most of them cant even compete in moba. To stupid to push minions. ;)

"Wow, Randy, you created a pretty good first-person MOBA like game with co-op, competitive, and solo modes! Unique art style, interesting characters and story, man, all you need is decent marketing and you'll succeed again!"

Randy Pitchford: "Let's advertise it as a shooter. A team based shooter!"

"But... that's not what it is. And huge companies like Blizzard have taken note of the success of games like Team Fortress and Battlefield. It's a saturated genre. We have no chance of competing!"

"OH! Thanks for reminding me! Let me send a few tweets to make it clear that we are going to try and beat Overwatch!"

"What? They're not even in the same genre, and Blizzard's fanbase far exceeds ours here at gearbox! Why?"

"I'll make it look more popular by commissioning pornography!"

"Mr. Pitchford... why are you still here?"

"Because the company likes how good I am at making all gamers feel welcome! Don't you remember when I made fun of a large portion of our playerbase with a song on a guitar? Or when I made Crazy Earl quote Trump even though we had a character already developed to be racist? I'm good at this!"

"Listen, you're my boss, so maybe you'll be right. When's release day, six months? We can probably smooth out most the issues found in the beta by then."

"Tomorrow."

It was okay; solid enough mechanics and variety, but there wasn't really anything that really created a desire to continue after enjoying a few matches. Campaign co-op was a nice addition, but again, after a couple of missions it just wasn't that engaging.

One particular problem was that the "neon vomit overload" art style (like BL:TPS, but even worse) was always filling the screen with noise. It's like superimposing Rez on top of another game. ;)

The audio and music were fun.

They lasted longer than i though.

The gaming industry lacks creativity most of the developers are a bunch of followers, right now everybody wants to make a multiplayer online shooter because they think its easy money, the market is saturated with them and they are going to start losing money fast in the future because gamers are tired of the same old story.

Another multiplayer focused shooter bites the dust. Maybe instead of everyone making them, we can make different things?

They could always use some of the elements from Battleborn in Borderlands. It's mostly the same sci-fi settings and wacky characters. I know people don't like recycled assets, but a lot of people didn't play the game anyway so...wouldn't really seem recycled to most of us.

I feel bad for the people who bought the game at launch. Gearbox screwed them by sending it F2P so quickly, and now they're screwing them again.

Gearbox is an awful publisher.

You can only polish a turd so much.

That's a damn shame. It's unlikely they'll do anything as daring in the future.

Surprised support is ending. Wouldn't be so bad if they just cut back rather than stop. They should continuously move it forward like many MOBAs do and they grow their player-base overtime. Even Ubisoft is realising the long-term game. With Siege and For Honor. And how about that Counter-Strike game huh? Wow lol.

Oh well. Goodluck Gearbox.

Obviously they don't know how to get players "here to stay".

worst 60 dollars i've ever spent

Such a great gem! So much stuff to do, awesome gameplay, I still play with friends regularly.

No new crap, dump Battleborn, just officially announce Borderlands 3 because it's all you're good at.
