The Grease Homunculus once left a flash drive behind at a restaurant that allegedly contained CSAM.

Pitchford allegedly left an unsecured USB drive in a Dallas, Texas restaurant called The Medieval Times. The USB drive contained details about Gearbox plans and a number of its corporate partners, including Take-Two Interactive, 2K Games, Sega, Microsoft, Sony. It also allegedly contained "Pitchford's personal collection of 'underage' porn."

No minimap? Ugh.mt husband have played every Borderlands game together multiple times and that minimap is our saving grace. We are constantly splitting up to do different things or grab stuff and the map makes it so much easier to find one another. Will be a bit chaotic going without, maybe they will make it an option in coop or something.

theres other navigational systems you could implement to be fair

Oh yeah I'm sure there will be something. Definitely not a deal breaker for me. But I'm curious to see what they do for navigation.

I actually liked not having a minimap in BL1. I missed it at first coming from BL2 but it made me get to know the areas a lot better, which in turn made the game feel more like a connected world.

BL2 felt more like a sequence of levels than an open world.

This could be due to other choices in the game design but I think the minimap plays a big part in it.
