Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford gave “Borderlands 3” players a heads up on Thursday that an upcoming update will include cross-platform play. There is a major caveat, though. PlayStation consoles will not be supported.
Pitchford announced the “good news and bad news” on Twitter confirming that a crossplay function “across all platforms” where “Borderlands 3” is available will be added in an upcoming update. The bad news, however, Gearbox was required to remove cross-platform play for PS4 and PS5 in order for the update to get certified for release.
The games industry is an absurd place, and nothing shows this off more than a legal battle.
Without lawsuits, we never would have found about Rockstar Games co-founder Sam Houser begging Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies to help fix the troubled development of Red Dead Redemption by proclaiming, I need The Benz!
Who could have guessed that before Activision fired Infinity Ward co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella, they were the type to sign off emails with Boom boom pow. Away. ?
If you can get past the idea of people weaponizing the legal system not just to establish wrongdoing but to invade privacy and subject their rivals to public embarrassment, there s some fun to be had here.
