I think he definitely left his EA mark on the company.

With the best will in the world, given the dire performance of Borderlands 4 even on much more powerful hardware, the notion that it was ever going to work on the Switch 2… how should we phrase this… was never realistic.

Randy seems more interested in running his mouth than getting anything done about the game’s performance issues on any platform, so this decision is hardly unsurprising at this juncture. The fact that they were able to pull the plug this close to the alleged release date also points to the fact that this was to be yet another one of those game-not-actually-on-the-cartridge deals, if they were even planning to make cartridges for it at all, so that would have been yet another nonstarter for many potential buyers. This whole thing was dead on arrival. The only difference is, now we know it’s official.

Borderlands as a whole doesn’t have a great track record on portable platforms anyway. The OG Switch version also had less than stellar performance, and the best that can be said about the PS Vita version of BL2 is that even with all the cuts and downgrades its frame rate is probably better measured in seconds-per-frame rather than frames-per-second. (I have direct experience with that one, being one of the six people on Earth dumb enough to actually own the Vita version of Borderlands 2. But in my defense, it was literally cheaper to buy the BL2+Vita bundle than to buy a Vita on its own. That’s right: It’s so bad, the Vita release had a negative retail value.)

It’s also funny cuz the Vita is a fairly powerful handheld that ran games much more demanding than BL2 at much higher framerates. No excuse for that.

The executives just don’t care about that, to them it’s just more money lost.

Randy and leadership thought that fans would just not complain about the performance and just deal with it… and when they didn’t just sit back and take it… They definitely knew they wouldn’t accept switch 2 current performance…God I’d hate to see what kinda performance that got

Wait, they were planning to release B4 on Switch 2? With that “optimisation”?

What were they smoking there?

That’s Capcom doing a lecture on optimisation with MH Wilds as an example all over again.

Man, these decision-makers are something else.

Borderlands 4 and the Switch 2: Two things I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire.

Having been released a few weeks ago, Borderlands 4 has kept console players looting and shooting for a while. Being generally favored more than Borderlands 4, the new entry was venturing into new territory by going to Nintendo Switch

Insider gaming may need to check up on their editing workflow.

Borderlands 4 is better than Borderlands 4, but not even half as good as Borderlands 4.

Looking forward to the sequel, Borderlands 4.

Maybe I’m just wildly crazy here, but I think a $70 game from a big studio should run well.

We’re not talking some $15 early access title here that lacks optimization because it’s like 2 guys making it in their free time.

He's just mad that he's not as good at making game engines like Id, Valve and even Epic did.
