Terminally Ill Fan Was Able To Play Borderlands 4 Early, And He Says It's Amazing
Caleb McAlpine confirms that Gearbox gave him the opportunity to play Borderlands 4 early, and he's in awe of what he saw.
I might very well just be a cynical prick, but at this point I assume these "stories" are just made up Corporate PR propaganda.
I mean, the much more obvious answer is that a terminal patient was incredibly thankful to get a sneak peak at a game he may not live to see released, of his favourite series, and was playing the game with my exactly the most unbiased lens.
Which is okay. You don't have to dig any deeper than that, you can just be happy that this person got to play the game.
If it's a real story then of course I'm happy for him. I just don't believe anything on social media or anything that a corporation says. I mean, why would I? We are constantly lied to.
Could also just be a well intentioned skew. A terminally ill person who's already a fan and is getting a special gift from the developer isn't about to say "the gameplay is fine, but it failed to make the most of its niche and has several glaring bugs", are they?
How much corpos paid this shill for this PR?
People need to really wise up to these clown tricks jfc
Do you really think this guy is lying about it?

Yea, why not? I can google "cancer patient selfie" on Google and get good pics. How do we know it's real? There have been so many scams like this on Reddit asking for money or games, using similar emotional ploys.
Again, I'm a cynical bastard over here.
Next week: "Gearbox sues terminally ill fan for early review while under NDA"
Vertical integration: secretly make some of your fans terminally ill, then let them play a preview of your game.
Next level: be a subsidiary of a pharmaceutical corporation
Glad he could play.
Disgusted at those douchebags at the company used it for advertisingI'm glad people still enjoy this series but I dropped it at Tiny Tina's. Nothing felt new even if it was technically a new class or enemies or what have you. I can't help but feel the vault hunting aspect was dropped too soon after 2.
I tried to play 3 when it got free on Epic Store but Jesus, it was boring and generic.
Borderlands 3 dialogue was akin to torture. I’m hoping 4 raises the bar by playing slaughterhouse audio during cutscenes.
Yeah but they're probably on tons of drugs too
Well, that's not untrue ...
