Imagine letting a terminally Ill fan play your game, and they say it's trash. I would reevaluate a lot of my life decisions.

"This game is rubbish, good day sir!" Flatlines

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Better title than "Fan gets to play new Borderland title, feels very sick".

"Superfan Plays New Borderlands Early; Literally Dies"

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

I'm not saying this is what's happening, but if it were me in this situation, I might lie to myself about how good it was just so I didn't have to deal with the mental anguish of wasting my last request.

He probably signed a contract to say it was amazing if they let him play it.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 23 points 4 days ago

Like, what would they do if he broke the contract? He’s likely a huge fan and genuinely loved it. That not to say it’s great, just that a terminally I’ll super fan loved it.

Typical capitalism

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I mean what else is he supposed to say? That it was mid?

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

For a while I was wondering was "Terminally 3" was

[–] Toes@ani.social 9 points 4 days ago

At least they didn't say it was as good as the movie

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

This is going to be a standard in media journalism. Say that someone terminally ill had the luck to consume X and than have the best fucking experience before die.

Is Gearbox just ultra-sympathetic to their fans(not calling this a bad thing, I genuinely hope they are) or does getting diagnosed with a terminal illness make you go "Y'know what? Fuck it".

Cause I feel like when I read "terminally ill fan", it's either about when Blizzard gave a fuck about their players, or Borderlands.
