The personal touch, its why we love companies. A company by nature is faceless but when they do certain things, things that in no way seem self motivated or a carefully picked PR approved thing we love them.
My little brother was going through appendicitis when BL1 came out. He had just been let out of the hospital with medicine and the hope it would fix itself(It was not immediately serious and the doctor thought surgery may be unnecessary. It would be about a month later, but that's neither here nor there with this post...)
Understandably stressed about the situation, BorderLands really was a huge bright point for us at that time. And I don't think we could have asked for a better one.
Now we are both eagerly anticipating BL2(2 MORE DAYS WOO) while playing the first to pass the time... so this kind of story really hits home. Kudos to GearBox and Mr Mamaril. Kudos all around.

Super classy. By doing something like this, it really shows that Gearbox cares about its fans and customers. They could've just looked at this as a PR opportunity, but they didn't.
Is it sad that shit like this genuinely gets me to tear up? Especially shit like that claptrap eulogy. Shit. Now I'm all teary eyed.
If I die, one of you people need to get me into a game. Petition valve to make me the tenth class.

As soon as I read "Tribute to a Vault Hunter", I got a massive case of chills.
There are true, caring, selfless humans working at Gearbox, and they often make godly games, too.

This is great! Cool way to immortalize him, I wonder if they got any of his personality in there. On a selfish note, I would want to be a black phantom in demons souls 2 0.o
Wow. I expected just a random npc, but Gearbox went above and beyond what I expected. I don't think I've seen a tribute with that much attention put into it.
Why must I CONSTANTLY be reminded that this game comes out in 31 hours!!
THE WAIT IS ALREADY TOO MUCH

He's really easy to find, too. You'll see him no doubt. It makes it extra special because he's not just some ancillary addition; he's literally part of the game.
It's small things like this that make the second game so much better than the first; there's just so much heart to it.

Gearbox are classy guys. It's a great tribute to a fan, and it shows they actually care about their audience and itnerating with them on a meaningful level.
I cried like a little bitch.
Yesterday I started a borderlands run with my cousin, I love this game.

They were responsible for 'Opposing Force' the first (and only good) expansion pack for Half-Life back when they were a smaller studio.

I liked the first one, but this game seems like a total sell out.
$60 for the game, $30 for all possible DLC in the future.

Goddamn you guys are awesome! I should really get started on those Borderlands expansion packs.

G-man was a giant dick in that game.

How? That's exactly the same as it was with the original, it's just now we know DLC is coming and they are giving a discount for early adopters of it.
I really don't see how that is a bad thing. It's optional. If you know you want all the DLC but want to save some money it's a good deal. If you don't, you don't. They aren't water-boarding you for an extra 30 dollars.

I was gonna buy the season pass but not anymore, just gonna buy them all individually to give Gearbox more money.
Seriously, this is amazing.

Aww. So sweet.
Also, this is so not the article to complain about Borderlands 2 pricing structure or video game business practices in general. Gearbox did a genuinely nice thing. Let that be the prevailing sentiment for this article, and let the complaints fall elsewhere.

The reasons behind it might be sad but its always good when a developer comes out as human. I'll be looking forward to bumping into him on Pandora.
