Battleborn sale prediction and marketing problems

What do you think gys and girlls, how much ppl will buy this game. 2K and Gearbox had terible marketing for this game. I heard for it like only 3-4 month ago. There was no closed beta so ppl can get know with game on Twich and formus. Game is exilent… I did 40-50 hours in open beta and had soo much fun. I pre-purchase Deluxe edition but still… If game die it will die couse 2K and Gearbox Marketing team failed. They should get fired immidiatly. Terrible work from them. Blizzard make so good job on geting ppl hype about Overwatch and in the same time 2K and Gearbox did 0 work on that field. I asked at least 20 of my friends, hard core gamers, like month ago about Battleborn and thay all say “What is that?”. So two possibility here: 1) Sale will go solid and we will have ppl on servers to play with. 2) They will be forced to switch on F2P so they can get more players in game but in the same time they need to make game profitable to hold servers up so we can expect some Micro-Transaction model. About price of game, well its totaly worth this money, Include so many characters, skins colors, + pre order gold one, maps, mods… all for this price, Many ppl cry about not be F2P, but if game was f2p we will get like 10 characters and no skins possible. So to buy 15 more characters at lets say price of 5$ each, well do a math.
So sad… this game is awesome in so many ways. I hope it will be succes. I cheers for you 2K and Gearbox and pls fire marketing team for this game. I 100% support this game as a man who plays games for 20 yrs, and I think this is a rly good game, not solid, GOOD game. Also do not compare this game with Overwatch, its apsolutly difrent game with difrent idea. (Sorry to all for my bad gramar)
Cya on battlefield Battleborns!

Could it have been better, sure…but I wouldn’t blame the marketing dept as a whole on their own. Management is part of it and there are $'s set aside and used to promote and produce a game. IT’s got the attention it needs so far and will get MUCH more when people start seeing their friends playing it. That’s how I saw the game. My friend played it and was telling me he didn’t want to join our game BECAUSE he was having so much fun on BB. SOLD!! So tried it and loved it…

I love the game and only really heard about it a few days before the open beta was closed. I will be pre-purchasing the game through the PS store.

Still, its rly poor work. If u making a new game u must be sure game will be on Streamers channels on Twich for monts before relese date. I did buy Deluxe edition, my friend who are hard core gamer but only Street Fighter and he si not a fan of FPS told me after just a few games in Battleborn its rly good and interesting game. But he never heard for game until I told him and he is active on forums, Twich and such. Game was in shadow before Open Beta. It’s a big mistake from Marketing team or who ever is incharge for promotion of game. But anyway… I have feelings that on May 3th I will be sick from some VIRUS desise for my boss and GF :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: At least 10-15 days long sicknes… poor me :smiley:

They have done very well business wise with the other titles/franchises…just have some faith. :sunglasses:

According to the email I got over 2 million people played the open beta. They’ll be fine

A post was merged into an existing topic: An open letter to Gearbox (about marketing)

Yes, in 10 - 11/2015.

LOL, u call that a closed beta? :smiley:

Beta is the term GBX/2K used on the game launch frames.

And closed it was.

You do the maths.

Since we’re now bickering about semantics, I’ll close this.
