Gearbox Passed on Blade Runner

The Official Xbox 360 Magazine has some comments from Gearbox president Randy Pitchford (thankfully not directed at another developer this time) about how Gearbox passed on the opportunity to create a licensed Blade Runner game. "We chased it down and we coulda had it. But that one failed on the business side, because the way we wanted to do it we wanted to spend 25 million dollars. And when you do the math on that, we weren't going to make it back," Pitchford says. "You're going to spend 25 million, there's another 10-15 risk just in the publishing process, and then you got another 10-15 million marketing, and we didn't think that we could make that back. So that's too bad." And imagine the origami mini-games with the wiimote! Thanks Computer and Video Games.
