    Imagine letting a terminally Ill fan play your game, and they say it’s trash. I would reevaluate a lot of my life decisions.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
