LostMyHeadache ain’t going to be happy about this. We haven’t talked in a while, but he was obessed with Battleborn last we talked. He’s probably getting hyped about Borderlands 3 now though.
Aww, that sucks. Such are the dangers of competing against Blizzard, I suppose.
Blizz could really use some more competition, IMO. They’ve been getting a little samey over the last few years.
