"Users say they get error messages when they try to erase their accounts."

brilliant
Since faux outrage on the Internet only lasts 27 minutes I'd expect this problem to fixed in half an hour.

Are you suggesting that people should not be upset at how a company handles issues of freedom of expression?

I was honestly expecting you to be more concerned about the monopoly storefront that is Battle.net and how Blizzard refuses to make their games available on the EGS...

Love it, can't delete accounts because of a "technical error"

Man, you could not come up with this kind of BS if you tried.

Worked just fine before the shit-show no? And users reported they got manually denied and not automatically, or an error.

Blizzard is fucking lying.

Received confirmation of account deletion this morning. A drop in the ocean but whatever.

Pretty much this. He's looking for a payout/extortion on 23 year old music. They'll settle out of court and he'll get to buy a new sleeper mini van aka home w/the proceeds.

So it's only scummy when someone sues to protect their IP rights from Gearbox, but perfectly fine for Gearbox to sue someone to protect their IP?

Borderlands, game franchise.
A franchise barely alive.
Gentlemen, we can rebuild it.
We have the technology.
We have the capability to build a billion dollar franchise.
Borderlands 3 will be that game.
Better than it was before.
Better, stronger, faster.

Scared much?

Nah, if they were "scared" they'd limit the code to Vatican City.

lol at gamer entitlement for a free game.

This ^^^. I missed the part where all these outraged players had a gun to their head forcing them to buy those lootboxes. Jesus, Mary, and Glavin! It's a free fucking game! How else do you suggest they make money?

Man, even some of the best game devs get treated like utter bitches, it's so fucking saddening.

They get to read post after post of entitled whiney shit, but when they have the nerve to call anyone out on it "now it's personal" "we have long memories" "we will not forget". These fucking kiddie crusaders are just waiting, praying for the opportunity for a cause.

What in the hell happened to this generation? Hasn't it always been that the kids were always cooler than their fore-bearers? This is the first generation to be this more uptight than the last.

Honestly this stuff breaks my heart. If I were Respawn I would immediately and in perpetuity disengage from all contact on reddit. There is nothing to be gained. Make your game, dictate your terms, and don't apologize for shit unless you know in your heart it's warranted. If you done goofed, then you make amends, butr don't kowtow to the mob when they're just being shit disturbers.

It would be nice to see some solidarity in the industry in the face of this shit, but others will be looking to capitalize on their loss.
