I haven't played A:CM, but I have played Borderlands and Borderlands 2, and both those game are excellent games. Are they perfect? No, but no game is, and Borderlands 2 was everything I hoped for. There are a few little things that were promised that didn't get delivered, like increased storage space over what BL1 had, but everything else is great.
Randy Pitchford, well, he's like a kid in a candy store when it comes to Gearbox games, and I do think he gets a little over-excited when he's getting interviewed, and says some things that may be what he envisions, but isn't what the people that manage the nuts and bolts of the game are doing. There does seem to be some kind of communication gap there, and I think Gearbox and Randy should work on that; he is, after all, the CEO and president of Gearbox.
If GBX is guilty of delivering significantly less than they actually said they would, then they should refund the money of gamers who want a refund, and possibly pay a fine, but if it turns out some 80% of the people that bought it like it and play it, well, I think the others are going to have a tough sell in a lawsuit. And, frankly, there are a lot of whiners and criers out there that think everyone else on the planet should butter their toast for them, and for free. I have no sympathy at all for that kind of "gamer".
