    This guy is why PR consultants and Social Media teams exist. Some people just should not have contact with the public. However good he might or might not be in his work on the project itself, someone should have told him to sit down and shut up and let someone who knows how not to damage the entire game with a single statement handle the communication.

      Problem is, there’s no such thing as bad press. Here we are talking about it.

        “There’s no such thing as bad press” is such a dogshit saying that is demonstrably untrue. There is absolutely bad press, just because we’re talking about it doesn’t mean it’s good for the product. For every one schmuck who thinks they’ll buy Borderlands 4 just to prove how good their computer is, there’s a hundred people who have decided never to buy it at all and half if them have written off gearbox entirely.
