Randy Pitchford (The Creator of Borderlands) has today announced that Borderlands 3 will not be at E3 this year. The confirmation came after Walmart Canada leaked Borderlands 3 on its list of games (the one that confirmed RAGE 2).
The bizarre rant lasting six tweets spoke about how he understood that fans really wanted Borderlands 3, but it was almost like Half-Life 3 in the sense that the less they reveal about the game, the more fans will want it.
“The point is that it is kind of a part of our species that we tend to hold on to what we *want* to believe while discounting the truth if it contradicts that – no matter the evidence. It takes a disciplined mind to see reality for what it is. ”
“In fact, this aspect of human nature is so powerful that it is more likely this thread will increase the volume of the debate rather than diminish it. It feels as if “Borderlands 3” may be destined to be the next Half-Life 3 in that regard.”
4/ For example, I could write it out now precisely and specifically that “Borderlands 3” will not be at E3 and many of you will choose not to believe it. Many of you will find a way to interpret the intent to suit what you want to believe regardless of what is true.
