Borderlands 3: Take-Two Addresses Investigation Into Streamer Leaks

Following the rise of a #BoycottBorderlands3 social media trend, Take-Two has confirmed its investigation into leaked Borderlands 3 materials.

CP_Company1759d ago

addresses? they are lying. but it's nothing new. they are scummy publishers.

Summons751758d ago

The only liar is the one who got caught with his pants down, scummy youtuber.

CP_Company1758d ago

caught? so you know he is guilty? so in TT and 2K logic, supmatto is not guilty, you are - Summons75. wait for 2 goons at your house any moment.

AnotherGamer1758d ago

Have you even read the entire story about it?

JackBNimble1758d ago (Edited 1758d ago )

They should be investigating themselves that's where the leaks originated from in the first place not from some YouTuber.

TricksterArrow1758d ago

This is digital and info age. Leaks will happen, if not today, tomorrow, if not by one of your employees, maybe by hackers, maybe someone will mess up, maybe someone speaks too much at a bar, shit happens. Companies should adapt. Counter by maybe feeding false info, addressing the issue publicly, looking what can be done in-house to avoid more leaks (be sure, they will happen anyway), hell, even ignoring it altogether and/or adapting marketing campaigns would be more reasonable than attacking fans for being fans. Who doesn't want to know, speculate and look into the future of their favorite series? There should/could be some degree of accountability, maybe blacklist the guy? Reach out to him in a non-confrontative manner? But this? This is terrible, terrible PR.

I don’t think you’re informed on this matter at all. Dude, learn to read

I will be watching Cohh Carnage leak the whole game to me. Probably will cheer him $60 and say I couldn’t find the game on sale anywhere legitimate online so he can have the money. Then after a Steam sale with all the dlc included I will finally play it myself.

xX-oldboy-Xx1758d ago

Your brain has definitely been siphoned - that's the most backwards logic I've heard in awhile.

UnHoly_One1757d ago

You are going to just pay some stranger 60 bucks so that you can watch him play a game for you??

What the hell has happened to the world?

I just DO NOT understand Twitch at all. I mean unless you are watching a pro at a certain game just because of how amazing they are, I just will never understand it.

"Well, I could play Borderlands 3 myself, but I think I'll just buy it and then grab a stranger off the street and have him come in and play it for me while I watch. Maybe I'll watch a few commercials and pay him for it as well."

DarkZane1758d ago

Why tell anything to private investigators at all? They're not even actual law enforcement, so you really don't have to tell them anything.

xX-oldboy-Xx1758d ago

He probably panicked, didn't know his rights - still inexcusable as far as I'm concerned.

Summons751758d ago

Because criminals are generally dumb.

FlameWater1758d ago

Let's look at the bigger issue here, two investigators had unlawful access to the streamers private information. We have to take into consideration Take Two has the belief they have the legal authority to do this.

VTKC1758d ago

they think they are the FBI. J Edgar Hoover style.

Sony shares big new PS Plus stat, but not the one we want to see

PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.

lol acting like it’s equivalent to ms numbers

Mr Logic17h ago

Uh...They're definitely not equivalent.

"Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service now has 34 million subscribers."

"the total number of PS Plus subscribers across all tiers was 47.4 million"

darthv7217h ago(Edited 16h ago)

That PSN number seems like it should be much higher... especially when you consider that PS4 alone has a sell through of over 117m. To not even be at least half that is rather interesting.

To the XB side, having 34m to an install base of roughly 50m (XBO sell through) or even 85m (360 sell through) is a greater percentage of unit to member ratio than PSN.

That's not the "gotcha" you think it is Darth.

darthv7212h ago

^^it's not supposed to be bloop.... it's just an interesting observation.

Have you ever heard of a PC before? I hear they are pretty popular.

MS started lumping gold subscribers in with those GP numbers... keep in mind.

shinoff218316h ago(Edited 16h ago)

What. Definitely more os plus subscribers but that makes sense due to actual console sales

Darth the difference between the bases are huge your right but you gotta think. Ps players buy more games, where as the Xbox base relies on gamepass for their gaming. So it makes perfect sense

darthv7215h ago(Edited 15h ago)

What makes perfect sense though? You say PS players buy more games... so then logically there should be more PS+ subscribers given the increased number of online multiplayer games in the PS4 generation alone. The PS4 was the first time that + was required for online play much like Gold was for 360 users.

Keep in mind we are talking subscribers, not simply XB/PS users. I assume you meant to say offline single player games, which is most likely true as well. That gen also saw a significant increase in games with an online component comparted to the previous gen.

victorMaje15h ago

I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.

jznrpg14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

I have the top tier until 2028 as they gave me a massive discount for all the years I had left but I’ll most likely go to essential as well. I buy my games but my kids do use the service occasionally. They do prefer to own their games as well since any game can leave the rental service at some point and they don’t like that idea. They mostly use it to demo games then ask me to buy games if they really like it.

RedDevils9h ago

For me, I will cancel it all together but unfortunately I still have it till 2030 lol

meganick13h ago

I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.

P_Bomb9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Essential is too expensive, I agree. We’ve got one Essential and one Premium sub. Dropping the Premium when it expires.

gamerz6h ago

Just let my subscription lapse for the first time since 2010. Will sub again every now and then for a month or so to access my old ps+ games but for me it's the end of an era.

DivineHand1255h ago

Let those numbers continue to drop because it is now too expensive. $80 per year just to play online. I noticed they didn't offer any discounts on the subscription or controllers during this year's days of play for the first time in many years and they will feel it when people choose not to renew.

My subscription will lapse next month and it will stay that way until further notice.

KevtheDuff2h ago

There were savings on subs and controllers here in the UK? I bought a controller yesterday in the sale..
It would be weird if those deals were not in other territories too?

Hope SH2 gets more polish before release.

P_Bomb1d 11h ago

I’m not paying $94 CAD for what they’ve shown me. Looks rough as sin.

Fishy Fingers1d 11h ago

Ive seen better lip syncing during a Punch and Judy show

Sonic18811d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

This looks terrible. Capcom should have done the remake 😂 The animations and gameplay looks stiff.

-Foxtrot1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Okay. I was saying before in another article how SH2 looked better than the last trailer, which is true but damn this looks rough as hell.

I wanted RE4 / Dead Space remake quality

Sonic18811d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

I wouldn't buy it for $70 dollars. Maybe when it's on sale.

-Foxtrot1d 10h ago

Yeah full price, deluxe editions, Konami are f***** tripping here.

CrimsonWing691d 10h ago

The characters look terrible to me… like it’s distracting.

repsahj1d 6h ago

I will give this game a chance!!! let's go!

Cheat providers for competitive games should be illegal.

Rynxie1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

This is what developers and manufacturers should do. I know going after cheat devices/makers is a cat and mouse game, and cost money. However, they can get that money back by sueing these manufacturers of cheat devices. Take a page from Nintendo's playbook.
