Less than three months after launch, too
Much ado has been made aboutBattleborn‘sfledgling player count, a statistic that’s especially worrying given that the game launched less than three months ago. That number’s bound to increase now, all thanks to a particularly fantastic Humble Bundle.
Games by 2K are the star of this week’s Humble Bundle, andBattlebornis the newest of the wares. It’s sitting in the $15 category, a 75 percent discount over the $60 asking price on Steam right now. That’s pretty cheap.
But,it’s not even that much. Spending $15 gets access toBattleborn, but it also nets you all the other games in the sale right now. It comes with the entire $1 tier (The Darkness II,Spec Ops: The Line, andDuke Nukem Forever), the “pay more than the average tier” which is $6.89 at time of writing (Civilization V,NBA 2K16, andMafia II), and the other game in the $15 tier (Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel).
Really, this reeks of a last-gasp effort on 2K’s part. It’s clear that no one’s buyingBattleborn. Maybe the publisher can make a few extra bucks on it while it’s still somewhat relevant. After that, don’t be surprised if we seeBattleborngo the way ofEvolveon PC.
