Battleborn is my favorite kind of flop because it couldn't happen to a more deserving jackass. Here's hoping you tank Gearbox and get kicked out of the industry forever, Randy.

Do you always run into the same person since not much ppl playing the game?

I don't think that even that would save Battleborn. Paladins is free to play as well and even though is still on beta it is already great and keeps getting better with the updates. Meanwhile Battleborn is the kind of game that you don't even need to play to see how poorly made it is.

Whats the point of selling a game at 5€ so you get almost no money from sales and you dont get the f2p crowd that would spend money in microtransactions?

This fanbase doesn't even know what they want! The game is a year old! It's not going to get any new players, even if it went f2p.

This shit reminds me of WildStar, except WildStar had better designs.

>Hello, you may or may not know me. (great way to start this off amiright?) I am starting a new youtube series called: "The battleborn of battleborn" (name may change before launch) The concept is to introduce people to the real players behind battleborn, what few we may have are an amazing bunch of awesome people! Essentially it will be an interview style episodic series where I ask format'd questions about anyone who volunteers. Want to get involved? Simply have a discord account and reply below, and join the Battle Ready Youtube Community discord where I will be setting up this series!

>a year old

.. fuck, it actually survived (uuh .. it's till there i mean) a year when you look at this way.

And you know what ? When they had the open beta a year ago, if the game's price was 30 to 40$ instead of 60 and if they had a tutorial, they would have made it without that much broken bones.

You know, at least Brink had enough dignity to shut its serves down when the game was quickly dying, but Battleborn has no legs or arms and is still trying to wiggle towards the finish line. It can't get anymore pathetic than this.

I pre-ordered Battleborn with a bunch of friends after playing the Beta and having a good time, believing an experienced company like Gearbox would fix any of the issues the game had. Battleborn had a lot of promise but instead of any fix they just did nothing and gloated in interviews about how great the game is. Within a week of release 80% of all heroes were unplayable due to bugs with hitboxes and abilities, each map had various exploits and glitches people abused, balance was awful because they introduced maps/heroes that weren't in the beta which they probably never even played and performance was far worse than in the Beta.
No fixes came, nothing at all of value in months of lousy developer support. They released a bit of pre-planned content they've been working on and couldn't finished in time for release, shuffled a few values related to balance around but never touched anything of importance.

So whenever I see anyone mention "how to fix Battleborn" then my only answer is - start actually updating the game with gameplay and technical fixes instead of adding meaningless fluff to a broken base game.

I highly suspect they had someone program the game and then fired them - or the contract expired - so the only people still working on it are a bunch of game designers merely capable of scripting a bit who have no idea how to tackle all the core problems the game has.

Would making Battleborn f2p get anyone play it? No, it's in a sorry state of neglect and anyone who tries it quickly leaves once the various issues become apparent. There are too many f2p games in a better state than Battleborn and as such there's no reason to play it over those.

On a somewhat related note - Battleborn was the last Gearbox game I ever bough - a company who sells bugged software and doesn't fix it is not worthy of my support.

Gearbox is responsible for three notable games:
Borderlands (which is a good game)
Duke Nukem Forever (i don't need to explain this)
Aliens: Colonial Marines (i don't need to explain this)
