Narrative director at Gearbox Software, Sam Winkler, has reiterated to fans that he’s unable to canonize their fan theories in the Borderlands series and asked them to stop sending them to him with that intent.
In a post on Twitter / X on January 6, Winkler, who served as a writer on Borderlands 3 and lead writer on Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, wrote: “PSA: Don’t send me your Borderlands theories or story ideas. Seriously. I will not read them. I cannot incorporate your headcanon (even if I like it myself) or ‘fix’ a story beat (even if I didn’t like it myself).
