*cries in Battleborn*
Don't you fucking dare say that name. I have never in my life seen a game with so much promise be self fucked so hards by it's own devs that it kills the game in its tracks.
NO ONE FUCKING ASKED FOR A BATTLE ROYALE - AND WE SURE AS SHIT DIDNT ASK FOR PAID BATTLE ROYALE SEPARATE FROM THE MAIN GAME.
