So much win right there.
But it might have earned them giant sacks of money.Quote:
It wouldn’t strengthen our reputation as a studio, and it wouldn’t be really motivating for our team
Awesome that they stuck to what they believe in as a studio though.
True but imagine borderlands 3 after a CoD paycheckQuote:

Is Activision losing touch with its roots? Why give a franchise that is clearly doing so well on the markets, to another developer. You've obviously got what it takes to keep fan(boy)s coming back to your game every year... Even though it's the same f***ing thing as the year before. Obviously they want a Call of Duty to be made by a fresh pair of eyes. Different perspective. Maybe better gameplay even...
Still... I'm glad Gearbox turned down the offer. We need Borderlands 3 in the coming years damn it! ;)
People acting like Borederlands is the only Gearbox game..........we need a new Brothers In Arms title.
What we really need is a follow up to Half-Life: Opposing Force. One of the best expansions ever made.Quote:

Besides, Brothers In Arms: Furious 4 is still in development by Gearbox, it's just not technically a BiA game any longer.
