Borderlands 2 is temporarily free to grab on Steam, as it continues to be review bombed for non-Randy Pitchford tweet reasons (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

this is 50% factual in that coop is 100% the reason for the game franchise existing and succeeding. BL2 is pretty much the peak of the series too IMO, this is such a weird and dumb move by Gearbox, just trying to profit off useful hype for BL4, reminding people what it might be like in a timely manner is profit enough on release, but they wanna act like we don't know what they're doing. I can't tell if this is to kneecap the fanbase's expectation of good multiplayer ahead of time, or what. Let's just say I'm skeptical they're giving away a janky version of BL2 because they're extremely confident their new release will do well, pretty revealing to me.
