Modders race to revive long-dead Borderlands MMO ahead of Borderlands 4's release

A modder is asking for help resurrecting Borderlands Online, an MMO version of Gearbox's comedy gun-runner that only ever saw daylight in China. It was announced in 2014 and shut down in 2015 alongside development studio 2K China, but footage of the abandoned project appeared online earlier this year. Now, intrepid digital archaeologist EpicNNG is trying to overcome "thousands of errors" and restore the MMO to a playable state.

Is Borderlands 4 getting crossplay? Gearbox has announced a host of new features to help the co-op experience, including the return of instanced loot (though it's currently unclear whether this can be toggled on and off), a more seamless lobby, and campaign difficulty that can be set individually and separate from your party.

The Borderlands 4 release date is fast approaching and if you're hyped for this open-world looter shooter, you might be wondering if you can play with friends on other platforms. So, are we also getting Borderlands 4 crossplay? Here's what we know about the multiplayer game and what's included at launch.

Randy Pitchford shows he's capable of not being an idiot about Borderlands 4 prices, raising questions about previous insistence on being an idiot

Borderlands boss Randy Pitchford submitted an-all timer entry into the pantheon of neoliberal thirst tweets earlier this week, telling a player concerned about a potential $80 asking price for Borderlands 4 that "if you're a real fan, you’ll find a way to make it happen", before telling an anecdote about how, when he were a lad, he used to lick the fleas from unwashed goats for quarters to play Bubble Bobble, or something.

This went down about as well as you'd expect, prompting Pitchford to yesterday follow-up with a clip of him on a panel talking about a potential price increase in, wait for it, much more sober and considered terms. So, in the interest of not only reporting on Pitchford when he says something incredibly stupid (although, lets be real, only because it's related, I'm still muckraking here) here's the clip.

Yep, this is a thing the Gearbox exec has tweeted. He's posted that indie shooter Mycopunk is "cheaper than a point of meth" and "probably has fewer side effects, too", in response to publisher Devolver Digital making a joke about Borderlands 4 potentially costing $80.
