Borderlands 2 is temporarily completely free to download and keep on Steam, and Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford is even throwing in some extra loot keys to sweeten the deal, but that's apparently still not enough to stop the looter shooter's ongoing review bombing.

Despite the recent good news that Borderlands 4 is releasing earlier than previously announced, there has been a lot of negativity in the fanbase lately. This follows a controversial comment made by Pitchford, who suggested that "a real fan" would buy the upcoming game even if costs $80, as well as a change to Gearbox owner Take-Two Interactive's privacy policy and terms of service, which left some players worried about the collection of their personal information.
