Earlier this week, a self-proclaimed "diehard" fan of the Borderlands looter shooter series called Caleb McAlpine shared that he'd been diagnosed with terminal stage 4 cancer, and was then put into contact with the game's developer in hopes that he'd be able to play Borderlands 4 early. That's not the only thing the Borderlands community has helped with, however, as funding for his treatment has rocketed in the days since.
McAlpine explained that doctors had given him an estimated 7-12 months left to live in the worst case scenario, and even if he responded well to chemotherapy treatment, he might not see passed another two years. As such, McAlpine reached out to the community on social media and asked if there was a chance he'd be able to play the upcoming Borderlands 4 before its official release next year.
