I don't mind new characters if they add more to the characters that are all ready available but why add new characters which will probably be another Siren, another soldier, another hunter etc.

If they have new classes AND have the old characters to choose from, so you can import you character from the first game, then I'll be fine with that but adding completly new characters with roughly the same classes as the old ones would be pointless.

Hope Scooter has a bigger part in this though :)

As long as I can play Siren then all is good.

I’m glad Embracer is selling them. I hope someone other than MS buys them and frees them up to make great games.

Says right in the article Take Two bought Gearbox off of Embracer.

Reading the article is hard for most people it seems

@Sgt Slaughter

I just like how when a studio automatically goes up for sale. People automatically think Microsoft is just going to jump on it like a fat kit eating a cake.

I mean, having multiple CEOs is a redundancy, soooo... Good luck Randy!!!

Layoffs Hit Gearbox Staff Hours After Embracer Sale

Less than a day after the news that Take-Two Interactive would acquire Borderlands developer Gearbox Entertainment from the embattled Embracer Group, layoffs have already begun. In the hours since former Gearbox employees were made redundant, they've taken to Twitter, and while the total number of staff impacted remains hard to determine, it sounds significant.

I am glad to see Gearbox under Take Two. But lay offs I am not surprised they aren't the only company cutting staff and they won't be the last. And I have a feeling the Borderlands movie honestly will tank when it comes out. The cast is just wow a complete mess Lilith is too old Roland is to small and scrawny. They are missing Brick and Mordecai and I don't think Tiny Tina will be as bat shit nuts as she is in the games.

The movie will definitely flop. It has all the usual actors that have casted in all these video game movie adaptations. Whenever I see Kevin Hart or The Rock or Jack Black i just know it's a cash grab. More so when it's all three together. (The Rock isn't in it)

Juancho5144d ago

When you see actors like that in a movie you can expect it to be bad, i definitely do. They have good chemistry but the movie doesnt shine because it just banks on their presence and people going to see them.

Inverno44d ago

Pfft, literally said yesterday how it must be nerve wracking for the devs and then this shite. People aren't looking to get fired, and these companies don't care in the slightest.

Andrew33644d ago

People aren't looking to get fired. Good insight.

Inflation post 1/20/2020 is really causing pain to everyone. The cherry on top was companies waiting post 11/8/2022 to start doing layoffs. Hmm, I wonder why they waited past that date... Staring with Google in January 2023 and everyone following suit there after.

anast44d ago

Companies that over-hire should be fined heavily and the CEO loses his/her bonus during layoffs, and that money can go to the workers that they laid off.

Leeroyw43d ago

There's a lot going on in this post that needs further scrutiny.

anast43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

It's a game forum. But you are free to chose one and argue it.

Shiore2u44d ago

I hope Pitchford got let go for the sake of employee safty. The man is a walking grease fire waiting to happen.
