That's because Gearbox is fucked now.

[epicjirachi]

The borderlands series is one of my favorite series and i'm excited to seen someone who fronted series go to do something new

[Xaraeus]

ADVENTURE TIME!!
Get it?
I'll leave now.

[themadhatter]

No wonder they want us the gamers to help with 3.  They're running out of staff

[drinksalot]

Now we know why they put up the helped wanted slide at the end of their pax presentation lol i bet more people will be right behind him before long.

[TheMaestro]

Good, the Borderlands series desperately needs a new direction anyway instead of constantly relying on the same "LOL meme jokes" that are more cringeworthy than legitimately funny most of the time, alongside the same repetitive bulletsponge enemies that don't really require a different strategy.

[AstonWave]

Oh good.  Finally.  Someone that leaves a company without controversy following them.

[bobbygarren]

Good. The time is not for the all willing, but the peace is never found. If we can discover a future with the time capsule entranced, the worms can finally have the decency to evade fox capture. As for the others, we can only hope to see the year end in a wash of new colors and decor. The time for humming is at hand and we are granted new life.

(this is all just the top of my head, i'm probably forgetting some other big names, sorry)
In a perfect world, these people would all come together, to form a game development studio.
And make like... 5 greatest video games of all time.

[Baino]

I guess his arm wasnt strong enough in the end.

[lilhobbitz]

OMG












MY LAST NAME IS ARMSTRONG

[SHADOSTRYKR]

I really hope he wasnt terminated because he offered thoughts on the unemployment of his fellow employees

[AsianFly]

First Anthony burch and now him? Well at least it seems they both left on good conditions. Hopefully borderlands 3 will live up to its potential

[Lagstab]

Maybe launching a new studio? What's up with that game Cliffy B was working on anyway?

[SmootherThanSilk]

Anyone know the track playing in the background?

[inkpoison]

I really hope borderlands ain't going downhill

[Thedeathdump]

Oh no please don't let DICE or activation or any other dev take this game and mess it up like battlefront. PLLEEEAAASSEEEE

[ihunter]

Slowly the quality of upcoming borderlands games (if there is any)is gonna go down.

[Sketchsstuff]

ugh really and I'm just now starting to get into to borderlands(I just beat BL2 recently) -_-

[TheDiabolicalTurtle]

Just dont add as much Australians to the next game
