This coming from a publisher for the same developer whose CEO got pissy about one set of journalists breaking a story that was promised exclusively to a different set of journalists?

There are better reasons to #BoycottBorderlands3 than this...

That’s a thin argument I think. I get how leaks can have negative effects on a company, but this wasn’t about negative publicity but rather information about their games. Do you really think people weren’t going to buy Borderlands 3 after hearing this guy talk about new playable characters or character balance?

I 98% certain this was Take-Two’s CEO Randy Pitchford’s idea. Why does Take-Two’s Board of Directors keep him around?

I understand wanting to prosecute someone leaking secrets from within the company (which might still exist here, in some capacity) but to do all this over good detective work? Jesus.

The list of reasons not to play Borderlands 3 keeps getting longer for me.

Well, I don’t know the whole story but fishing around on Twitch isn’t illegal. Who cares about leakers? Doesn’t change whether or not you’d enjoy the game and honestly he was probably just free advertisement for BL3 up until they pissed off his fanbase.

Wow. This is some next level bullshit. Sending private investigators? In a sense that’s pure intimidation over leaks that are coming from a source they idiotically provided and then were either too lazy or inept to plug properly.

Pulling some fucked-up bullshit like this makes me not want to play a studio’s new game.

I was driving into a parking lot outside a minor league baseball stadium near Chicago (not a hotbed of what Fox News considers patriotism) and saw a couple of guys walking up to the stadium. When the anthem started, they stopped walking, removed hats, and put hands over their hearts. I was so glad to be not in the…

Well he’s a white guy so...

I assume the latter.

Earlier this year I was at Globe Life and someone was screaming bloody murder to TAKE YOUR HATS OFF! during -God Bless America-

You can’t spell “MONTANA” without “ON METHAMPHETAMINE”.

I hope you responded that yelling during the national anthem was extremely disrespectful to the national anthem.

... tractor pulls are a sporting event?

I was at an Indians game either last year or the year before and a dude started yelling at me to take off my sunglasses for the national anthem.  I wish I was lying.

MENTAL ILLNESS!

And the reason for playing the national anthem at this event was...?

The teen was clearly a paid actor.

Seriously...were there not enough other adults around to beat the shit out of this guy? Or is it that they were OK with him assaulting a minor because they were also “respect teh flag!!” flag fuckers...?
