    I think literally everyone has these games.

    Not everyone /here/. Literally everyone.

    You'd have to live in a freebie-free cave not to.

    If this game was ever offered for free, then I am genuinely surprised
    that I didn't have it before now.

    Another dupe (this one from 2023). I suspect this one is
    being proffered as marketing for the upcoming "Borderlands 4"

    Apparently the real reason this game was offered as a freebie last
    week was in an attempt to distract from Gearbox Studios CEO Randy
    Pitchford's ill-timed comments about how 'real fans' would happily pay
    the $80 pricetag for "Borderlands 4".

    Nobody "Happily" pays $80 for a game, anymore than they "happily" pay
    $40 for a pizza.

    From a recent twitter post:

    "For our real fans who may be cost sensitive, the very
    awesome and incredibly fun smash hit videogame Tiny
    Tina’s Wonderlands is FREE this week on the Epic Games
    Store. Please enjoy this FREE gift by grabbing your FREE
    copy here, FREE."*

    He's been trying to dig his way out of the hole he threw himself into
    for weeks, and fans are having none of it. A wiser man would learn to
    shut the fuck up, but Randy is not that man. I guess it's just easier
    to try and bribe your way out of your own cock-ups.

    I don't understand why Take Two --the company which fully owns
    Gearbox-- puts up with this guy. He's been getting Gearbox into
    trouble for years. Maybe Zelnick (Take Two's CEO) and Gearbox share
    thumb drives?

    Obviously Pitchford knows where Zelnick buried the bodies.

    We live in a world where the strategy of "never admit everything and double-down on your most hated statements" while greasing the right palms
    will win you the the US Presidency. Why would you expect any different
    from anyone else? It's the wave of the future.

    Your ideas of personal accountability and humility are outdated, and
    losers to boot.
