Gearbox said "no thank you" to Blade Runner

Borderlands instead of Blade Runner? Hmmm...
Borderlands developers Gearbox Software apparently have said "no" to the opportunity to create a game based on the classic Blade Runner movie.

The reason for pulling out of the project is that Gearbox Software wanted to do it right and therefore needed $25 million which they realized they would never earn back.

Here's what Randy Pitchford had to say about the matter:
"We chased it down and we coulda had it. But that one failed on the business side, because the way we wanted to do it we wanted to spend 25 million dollars. And when you do the math on that, we weren't going to make it back."

"You're going to spend 25 million, there's another 10-15 risk just in the publishing process, and then you got another 10-15 million marketing, and we didn't think that we could make that back. So that's too bad."
