Take-Two… Do we like them?

I wasn’t crazy about the most-recent Borderlands game, but I don’t know how much of that lands on the holding company rather than Gearbox.

2K Games is a subsidiary of Take-Two who has published every Borderlands game.

Gearbox didn't even release any games after their acquisition by Embracer Group in 2021. Even Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was published by 2K.

So this basically changes nothing. I'm confused why Embracer even acquired Gearbox in the first place.

Oh. Then it's back to normal? Embracer didn't even do anything with Borderlands and now they're already getting rid of it? Weird.

Yeah, I was confused by the whole thing, so I had to look it up. I've been playing borderlands since the first one and distinctly remember the 2K logo on all of them.

To be honest I just don't like embracer and almost anything is better
