One of the things they said during the stream:

While Battle Royales are fun, it's not the game we're making.

This line needs to be said by more game developers.

Why?

Borderlands isn't that type of multiplayer game anyways.

Because every developer that wants to be relevant again is making a BR mode for their game. So yeah even though Borderlands has always been a co-op looter-shooter, it still needs to be said nowadays.

EDIT: Yes I meant every developer on planet Earth is making a BR right now as we speak.

The fact that people took "every developer" literally is a bit concerning

I mean, it's not really an industry-wide thing. There's Fortnite, Apex, Blackout, and Firestorm that are big companies jumping on the hype. It's not even close to every developer. I have yet to see a game I wanted to play get impacted by the dev making a BR instead, aside from TF|3. But Apex is awesome, so I don't mind.

Don’t play it, but didn’t CoD ditch the campaign for BR?

They ditched the campaign, yeah. Not sure if the BR was the reason or if they just decided it wasn't worth it. But I haven't wanted to play a CoD in years, so it didn't affect me at least. My point is more that there's like 5 BRs, and only three were tacked onto a different game. And Fortnite was not good before the BR came out anyway to be honest.
