are you kidding? god, please YES. I can't wait for the inevitably shitty games this studio would shart out. it's gonna be like those anti woke cartoons.

vacuous, cynical rehashing of extremely outdated ideas with zero artistic vision and almost certainly full of stupid references to memes and ancient pop culture? PLEASE LET US HAVE IT NOW

The main characters "tag line" it says after a gib is "The cake WAS a lie!" and acts like Duke Nukem, but looks like Elong.

Borderlands 2 but every character is claptrap completely unironically and it contains none of the elements that make it one of fhe great games of all time

I'm trying really hard not to derail the thread by shitting on Borderlands right now

No, this is great. It wastes Musk's money hopefully paying people to make something that wouldn't be otherwise. It doesn't matter if what comes out is garbage. Just don't buy it. More of his money needs to be spent helping, and the government won't do it so the best we can hope for is him just doing it by being a fucking moron.

Shitting in a garden is good for the plants... Maybe this is like that?
