lporiginalg Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 That's cool but not cool enough for me to want to go re-borrow BL2 from my friend. I'd be more interested in in-game tournaments with cash prizes that are based on skill, even tho I'm not good enough to win something like that I just think it's cooler to reward players for skill rather than luck.Still think it's nifty so good luck to anyone participating.

Parker Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Quite a cool promotion they're running. I won't take part as I'm not buying the Game of the Year version until it drops in price but it is nice to see 2K Games doing this. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
