For a while I was wondering was “Terminally 3” was
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.
Better title than “Fan gets to play new Borderland title, feels very sick”.
“Superfan Plays New Borderlands Early; Literally Dies”
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.
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
I mean what else is he supposed to say? That it was mid?
Well… yes, if it was. But taste is subjective and maybe this kid is dying of tongue cancer - we just don’t know.
He probably signed a contract to say it was amazing if they let him play it.
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
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.
At least they didn’t say it was as good as the movie
