The fans are disappointed after Borderlands 3 was not shown at the Game Awards. The community is venting its frustration online.
The fans are eagerly awaiting new information about the popular Borderlands series and have long been asking: What is actually happening with Borderlands 3? After the Game Awards, there is now a lot of frustration. But why?
This is what happened: Many fans were hoping for an official announcement of Borderlands 3 at the Game Awards. The reason for this is tweets from Randy Pitchford, who is the head of the studio developing Borderlands.
No Borderlands 3 – Fans vent their frustration
This is how the community reacts: In the subreddit for Borderlands 3, disappointed fans are venting their anger. Most are disappointed, some are practically raging with anger.
Accordingly, some comments are below the belt. Randy Pitchford is the target, and many fans direct their frustration towards him. One user writes to Randy: “Thanks for wasting my entire afternoon just because you are a troll.”
Other comments go further and are filled with personal insults. However, most fans express their opinions without being offensive. They feel misled and are disturbed by the artificial hype Pitchford has created with his tweets. Genesis Break writes:
I am not a fan of how he baited us and then left us hanging, but I don’t think he is a bad person. […], I think we can all agree that we can completely ignore his tweets from now on.
Some users find the emerging shitstorm exaggerated. As user MatayoFayo says: “Don’t get me wrong, but some posts/comments are a bit dramatic…” This is not the first time something like this has happened. So why get upset again?
Overall, fans are not happy with the situation. It has been a phenomenon that can be observed with Borderlands 3 for a while now. There are always just rumors, never solid news. Pitchford will likely have to deal with fan anger for some time to come.
Borderlands 3 – What do we actually know?
This is the current situation: After the end of Battleborn Gearbox has still not announced a new project. However, it seems unofficially certain for a while now that the entire studio with around 400 people is already working on Borderlands 3.
Another rumor: Borderlands 3 might offer 4-player co-op again.
