I seriously haven't laughed this hard in a while.
The way it reads, they make it sound like Gearbox just outsourced the project and then were astounded when they received the work a couple years later. I find it hard to believe that they didn't have anyone checking up on the project from time to time. It's not like it was locked away in some vault, completely inaccessible to them. And, if they weren't overseeing it, it's their own fault that a project with their name on it turned out to be complete garbage. You might be able to blame the shitty end-product on TimeGate, but it doesn't sound like Gearbox escapes much of the blame themselves if they just weren't paying attention to how the game was progressing.In late 2012, when Gearbox saw what TimeGate had done, most of their developers weren't interested in taking the game back, our source said. Gearbox's team was upset that their work had been thrown out, and they didn't want this to be a repeat of Duke Nukem Forever, a game that took over a decade to develop until it was finally finished by Gearbox and released in mid-2011 to tepid response.
I'm pretty sure it's too late for that. Too many have already seen the massive pile of shit this game is. I don't think any size patch is going to fix that.Rumor of an 8gb patch for this at some point.
