This left him unsure whether "I will be around for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Borderlands 4," which is✅ currently scheduled to laᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚunch sometime in 2025, meaning it could still be over a year away at the time of writing. 

This uncertainty from McAlpine in the Borderlands 3 Reddit community, asking if anyone "knows how to get in touch with Gearbox to see if there is a way to play the game early. Lo🌠ng shot but thought I would try." The post now has over 13,000 upvotes and is pinned t🐠o the sub-feed.  

 that "Caleb and I are now chatting via e-mail, and we’re going to do whatever we can to make something happen." In a Reddit reply, McAlpine added that "the online community never ceases to amaze me!!" 

McAlpine's story is outlined in greater detail on his campaign, which is seeking $9,000 "for medical expenses as well as gas due to the cancer center being an hour away. I am also trying to raise funds for cost of supplies and food due to being on a strict full liquid diet for the foreseeable futu🌊re." At the time of writing, the campaign has raised $2,465. 

This isn't the first time the Borderlands community has rallied to aid ill fans. In 2019, a Borderlands fan named Trevor Eastman, diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and "given a year to live," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:was able to play Boꦅrderlands 3 early after Gearbox connected with him following a Reddit post of his own. Eastman sadly passed away that same year. Gearbox went on to create a legendary weapon in his ꦯhonor. 

In 2011, late Borderlands fan Michael Mamaril in Borderlands 2 after his friend Carlo contacted Gearbox to request a eulogy read by Mamaril's favorite characteꦰr, Claptrap. "I'm gonna break character now," the normally flippant robot says as the mic is passed to the Gearbox team. "Carlo, everyone at Gearbox was deeply touched by your request to have our silly little robot join you in eulogizing your friend Michael. It means more to us than you'll ever know. And thanks to both of you for allowing us to become even a small part of what was clearly a very special friendship. My deepest condolences for your loss."
