Heard an interview about this yesterday. A simple act of kindness can inspire you to do some amazing things. They really out did themselves with this. Even mentioning where to find him in Sanctuary.
I swear to god, If EA says one fucking thing about this in a negative reaction like they did to valve on the steam sales...
I will not be posting online what I will do, because then I'll get caught lol
Thanks Gearbox for being another company that has earned communities love and respect. You've made a great game, keep doing that, and keep being the amazing company you are.

Holy crap ! People have to be told about this. I am running to the Escapist right now to spread the word.

That was one of my first thoughts, too. Duke Nukem what? I don't know what game that is. WINK. Good on ya, Gearbox. Good on ya.

I was able to see the last few hours of the community day stream, and I also caught that part. Anyone interested should watch that part.
It's very moving, and I think anyone who sees it will agree that its not just a PR thing. But a genuine expression from the guys at Gearbox.

And I still wouldn't purchase this game. Maybe in GOTY form for 75% off on Steam. No damn 4 player SS makes me a non customer no mater how many dead people are recreated for the game. Gonna have to rely on the mod community to complete the game. >_<
Keep crying you big babies.

Well I gotta go turn in some reports to some company calling themselves "EA". Wonder what they'll do with the info though...

This is actually coming out on the day my friend (and ex of 3 weeks) died last year. Good distraction. Why cry and mope all day when I can joy puke my face off?
A round of applause please for Gearbox. Very touching.
Paragon Studios did something similar with Coyote in the Outbreak Zone in City of Heroes; one of their beta players died before the game was released, so he was memorialised in the form of a super-useful NPC.
That 'Tribute to a Vault Hunter' achievement though...tears.

Lionheart is a moron, but I am irked that they didn't keep split-screen in the PC version. In fact, the PC version *should* support 4-player split-screen, a mid-range gaming PC could easily run that.
THIS is why Gearbox DESERVES my money! I will be in line at midnight tonight, and if I can find one of those sweet loot chest editions for sale later I'm even going to buy a second copy.
Can't wait to meet my new buddy in Sanctuary! Well done Gearbox! Keep it up and you have a customer and fan for life right here <3

I wasn't planning on playing Borderlands 2, but seeing just how awesome Gearbox is to their fans, I will definitely give them my money now.
Go ahead and call this a PR stunt, but it is a damn thoughtful one at that. If only more companies cared about their fans like Gearbox did, putting out stellar titles and taking the time to reach out to their fans. Keep it up Gearbox and you will keep getting my money.

Strictly from a business standpoint, Gearbox would've been stupid to not take advantage of the PR opportunities that could stem from their recent good deeds.
If you just want some good PR, you cut a check to a charity and hold a press conference. Simple and done.
You don't allocate precious manhours coding and doing voicework for a proposal vid or a single NPC just in the hopes of getting sales, you do it because you feel it's for a good cause and worth your time. The good PR is just a bonus
Michael John Mamaril was a mighty, mighty man. And I, for one, can't wait to meet him!!! HUZZAH!!!
And check my comment history, I've been all about Borderlands since release day of the first. It's an outstanding game IMO and I think it's worth more of my money/time than anything Acridvision, Crapcom, Ubicrock or any of those other shamelessly greedy bastards will be putting out.
