This might be a stupid question but what is ACM?

Not sure what to think of this now

It became such a huge success that they probably lost interest in ACM. They were just focusing on the sequel.So basically they don't give a shit about any game besides Borderlands?
Why? The PS4 is getting announced on Wednesday, and MS has confirmed Durango's existence. Why would it be such a stretch to claim he has a devkit?
Texture loading issues? I don't think any of the other crappy launch ports had this issue (except maybe Batman in a few spots).
So far he hasn't said anything that a random attention whore poser could've have cobbled together based on the rest of the news and leaks thus far. We'll see if he ends up being verified as credible by the mods...
Now he's saying he's seen the upcoming consoles.
Wait what?
I work(ed) at soe London too and a lot of testers got zeroed after Aliens finished. I'm pretty sure it is credible from what he/she has said.Is this the same guy from before? If it is isn't then I'm more inclined to believe it is bullshit (based on repeating what has been commonly speculated upon already). Though I admit a part of my skepticism is based on how much I dislike reddit as a whole.
Yeah, no.
No? Didn't a devkit unit of the PS4 surface just this week? I don't think it's outrageous to imagine there being testers and stuff for games on dev units.
Now he's saying he's seen the upcoming consoles.
Other console versions already have amazingly bad texture loading issues. Since they couldn't even get it to work on 360/PS3, it stands to reason they might have even more trouble with a newer machine like Wii U.
Don't know if guy is legit, but nothing he's claiming seems implausible.

Yes, and at the same time nothing he's claiming is anything some random guy looking for attention and lulz couldn't have made up. Just saying...
Yeah, no.
Many tens of millions. Including marketing. Think over forty, nearer sixty.
A tester who knows the production budget including marketing costs?
Lol this.A tester who knows the production budget including marketing costs?
We're, what, ten months out from when those games would have to ship?
QA Testers, especially ones that have friends within the studio, probably have seen those things.
Sorry, but how should a tester know that Gearbox spend ACM development money on Borderlands?
Not commenting on this person's credibility one way or the other, but both sets of devkits have been available to certain developers since September 2012.

I know plenty of testers who know this sort of stuff. Everybody in the office on the last game I worked knew the full budget etc, because we all talked. That includes our few in-office testers.Lol this.
I would assume that Sega would be one of these developers. They're a major publisher, after all.
Well at least we got two great Borderlands games and loads of DLC
I would actually really be surprised if Sega had them then, as they are barely a B list publisher now.

Some Microsoft executive mentioned in a slipup that Microsoft was releasing "the new Xbox" as part of their "new wave of products coming out in 2013."
Could be a total fake, but either way it will cause Sega/GBX to make a statement sooner than later. I'm sure they don't want fake leaks going around that hurts their image.

Seems specious to me, regardless. Where's the ad blitz? Haven't seen anything at all.
So Gearbox basically used the same strategy as Silicon Knights? Divert most of the resources that was giving them by their publisher on their own project and do the bare minimum on the publisher's project?

Employees do talk to each other and info always trickles down.Sorry, but how should a tester know that Gearbox spend ACM development money on Borderlands?
