Good will is always appreciated. Like when every PC owner of Darksiders ended up getting Darksiders: Warmastered Edition for free. That was quite a nice bonus. Unfortunately, that won’t be happening with another upcoming remaster. If Bulletstorm PC owners want Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition , they have to buy it again.
Gearbox’s CEO, Randy Pitchford, explained why there’s no free ride with Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition . Darksiders: Warmastered Edition was able to be offered as a free upgrade because Nordic completely owned the past and future Darksiders rights. With Bulletstorm , Gearbox is only acting as a third-party publisher for the re-release. That, combined with the original being a Games for Windows game, being a different product, and from a different era prevents any possibility of a free upgrade.
On the plus side, Bulletstorm is a good game. There’s also a 15% discount in effect. And, if you don’t want to pay full price, wait for a Steam sale and get in on this remaster a little later.
