Battleborn, the abandoned Gearbox FPS that was shut down two years ago, is somehow back again - Lemmy.ca

Somehow…Battleborn returned.
There’s a non-zero chance that this is Randy Pitchford trying to revive battleborn again. First was the battleporn subreddit he founded, now i’m pretty sure Gwog is just another alias.
Yeah stop trying to make battleborn hsppen
Battleborn was never the rip-off non-starter everyone seems to think it was, so let’s not shit on people who miss it. Modders don’t tend to bring back games no-one cares about…
No, but modders do tend to bring back games that like, five people care about.
And? Fandoms don’t need to be mainstream for it to be uncool to shit on them… Corporations often deserve to be told to “stop trying to make thing happen” , people genuinely enjoying thing almost never do.
Look, I am not putting anyone down. I am merely stating a fact. The amount of fans of “The Operative: No One Lives Forever” that were happy when modders made it playable on modern hardware are probably less than 50 people, but we still recognize that we are a small number of people

Ok. But who are you informing of this fact and why? Do you think I’m unaware that modding communities are often small, especially where long-dead games are concerned? Even if the only people who care are the modders themselves, it’s still uncool to shit on them.

ALL my comment does, is tell someone off for putting down whatever fanbase remains for a game that’s already dead. That you framed a reply to that in a “no, but” suggests you thought they had good reason to be rude.

What is there to add? You’re not correcting anything. There is no “but” here, yet by using that word you undermine whatever precedes it. I wasn’t looking to inform, but to encourage decency. Walking in with an acchually and calling attention to the number of fans is irrelevant at best, and at worst, undermines my attempt to call for cordial behaviour.

There was no implication of mistreatment. That’s you putting intent and meaning into words that I neither said nor implied.

Whatever argument you’re trying to have, you can have it by yourself.

Clearly you didn’t mean it, but when have words only ever carried the intended effect?

If someone says “let’s be cool to each other” and you reply with “yes, but there’s only three of them” then it looks like you’re saying that being decent is only warranted for large numbers.

You added a conditional, where there shouldn’t be one. There was nothing to add, and by trying to, however unintentional, you made it worse.

Surely they'll do just as well with this as they did with that other title they resurrected, Duke Nukem Forever.

This is a mod, not gearbox. And Titanfall 2 got crushed by the games it launched next only to rise years later.

Battleborn was/is a genuinely good game that wasn’t for everyone, but died because most who would have liked it, never gave it a go.

Seriusly? I am SO FUCKING DOWN to finally play some more!

Played hundreds of hours of it, and the urge to pick it back up every now and then never went away after it shut down.
