I et kort tweet, som de fleste nu engang er, skriver Matthew Armstrong, som var game design director og forfatteren bag det første Borderlands-spil, og som også var meget involveret i udviklingen af Borderlands 2 og Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, at han nu forlader Gearbox Software.
"Things changed. No longer working at @GearboxSoftware. I will always love Gearbox, but it's adventure time skriver Armstrong.
Med den nylige lukning af 2K Australia, som var hovedudviklerne bag Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, er der mange der spekulerer på, om Armstrong's exit har noget med den sag at gøre. Armstrong forklarer dog til bladet Gameinformer, at det at stoppe var en personlig beslutning:
"Pre-Sequel, Claptastic Voyage, and Handsome collection all shipped. In a rare moment, I was temporarily non-vital. I could leave without damaging Borderland or Gearbox too much if I did it at this moment, so now was the time. I think Gearbox will do great in the future, and I think Borderlands will stay strong and awesome. I've been thinking about it for a while. I'm not quitting out of anger or getting fired. It's just time for new adventures. I'm an inventor. I'm ready to make something new. Not just new to me, but new to everyone."
Vi ønsker ham alt held og lykke i fremtiden.
