I was just looking up Gearbox and it looks like they made Battleborn. AKA, the game where the creator tried to shill for by linking to a Reddit dedicated to porn of it

I thought they already owned it. I believe they were their publisher for a long time. This just gives them a bit more control what's produced and budgets what's made

He commissioned the porn from artists out of pocket and created the sub while pretending to be someone else and the "official" account just accidentally stumbled on it in the vain and futile hopes that porn would make people play his game.

There is about to be a movie so presumably some merchandising.

Also the game they decided to release a few days after Overwatch. Clearly, the best thing to do in the market is to release a worse but similar style game as your competitor immediately after they release theirs. You'll get all of those sales from folks that got confused and purchased the wrong game when they meant to buy Overwatch

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

In hindsight everyone was probably stupid to stick with overwatch. Battleborn had a single player campaign from the get go.
