Not surprised at any of the recent Gearbox failures, they haven't made a good game since HL Opposing Force. Then again, that was an expansion pack.
That's not quite how Reddit works.

There's also no guarantee this guy should keep his job just because he was posturing for anonymity.

Because first off, someone cheerleading for one corporation over another is just bizarre.Why? If Gearbox did indeed use Sega's money to make Borderlands while neglecting the project Sega gave them the money to make, then Gearbox absolutely deserves to be punished. At best, the company is run by flimflam men; at worst, thieves.
If these allegations are true, it's a serious blow to Gearbox. There could be a bevy of negative consequences: 1. Sega sues Gearbox for breach of contract and fraud; 2. other publishers stop doing business with Gearbox; and 3. consumers stop buying Gearbox products.
No proof, just rumors that Level 5 was putting more time and resources into Dragon Quest and Rouge Galaxy than True Fantasy. Which caused it to lag behind schedule and eventually making Microsoft cancel it.
The wiki makes it sound like Microsoft was asking too much of them though.

Correct, looking at a deleted line before his deleted account, he was called out and the dumbass said "correct."
Well, Opposing Force was quite good.

Second, Gearbox getting sued to oblivion will most likely mean a lot of good people who had nothing to do with whatever happened will lose their jobs. Overlooking the human cost for your own entertainment is just shitty in my opinion.
Lastly, not all of the information is in and we're not sure that there was a material breach of contract, etc. If Gearbox did a shitty thing/job, okay, but they're a good developer and I feel like gaming would be diminished in some way if they weren't to continue existing.
This is so weird.
Gearbox outsource the gane during Boarderland development.
Get the gane back and notice that it's basically destroyed.
Tries their best to fix the problems before time runs out.
Launch the game on time but in bad shape.
Gets all the blame for the awful quality and should get sued.
...
Shouldn't the dev that actually destroyed the game take some of the blame here?
wait, what? called out how?

Pretty sure that stuff Gearbox said about the game being ruined because of outsourcing was a lie. There was an entire other thread about it recently. The blame seems to belong to Sega and Gearbox. Sega for being a bunch of morons (actually, scratch that, sega were probably acting in good faith. I feel bad for them. This was mostly pre-SK scandal, too.) and Gearbox for misusing their resources.This is so weird.

There comes a point where what you did 14 years ago can't be used as a barometer for what you can do today.
I was thinking about the situation with Activision's Xmen Destiny and Eternal Darkness 2.
Sega could wasily lie about that. If it easn't destroyed after being outsources then what happened after the trailer/demo? It looked awesome back then. And now it looks like crap.Pretty sure that stuff Gearbox said about the game being ruined because of outsourcing was a lie. There was an entire other thread about it recently.

I meant made by Sega after they sue Gearbox for all their money.
The singleplayer? Sure.The Halo CE port wasn't bad either.
The singleplayer? Sure.
The multiplayer? 4 words: PEER TO PEER MULTIPLAYER (and garbage netcode for it too).
Halo CE is the first fps game I can remember to ever have p2p instead of dedicated servers on PC.
It was fucking horrible.
I bought it the day it came out, I still have the box and the disc. I still want a refund.

Well to be fair it did have online over the orignal Xbox versions local only so it was still better than that.
