God I'm so tired of corpo-speak.

Just be honest and admit you're looking to strangle it for profit
- yeah "growth opportunities" just mean it will be microtransaction hell and we should detach from it and expect it to be shit from now on and find a new game franchise to enjoy.
Didn’t like 3, not optimistic.
- I loved 3 and I'm also not optimistic.
  
  I liked 3s gameplay so I’m cautiously optimistic for gameplay
  
  I didn’t like the story, it had its moments, but the cons of the story outweigh the pros of the gameplay looking at the big picture
I think this is code for “we’re going to make sure the game sucks to own even if it’s good”
Borderlands 4 with gacha mechanics?

Yay!
- Pre-order for 50 free pulls!
  
  Who’s doing the pulling?
- I mean that's just borderlands isn't it.
Ew, ew ew ew! From Embracer to Take Two? That's a step back! Just put the studio out of its misery at this point!
- 2K, a subsidiary of Take-Two, published all the other borderlands. Based on that history, it'll probably be fine.
  
  But based on "growth opportunities," it'll probably run the game.
I thought randy was gone?
Borderlands 3 was so bad that it didn't run on my PS4. It's so badly optimized that it would crash every 30 seconds. I installed and played it for 15 minutes and had about 4 crashes. Reinstalled and tried again, same shit. It is literally unplayable. Is it a good game? I have no idea, it wouldn't let me get far
