This story was sad, real, and very heart touching. The game devs team at Gearbox got a letter from a man named Carlo about the passing of his friend Michael who was a huge Boarderlands fan. Michael was young only 22 and lost his fight with cancer. The Letter was a request to have Clap-trap the robot from Boarderlands read a short Eulogy about Michael. Gearbox did the reading with and then took it to the next level, they immortalized Michael as an NPC in their up and coming Boarderlands 2 Game.

This is, without a doubt, one of the most heartfelt and generous acts of fan appreciation ever. For Gearbox to extend such an honor demonstrates how serious the company is in forging meaningful relationships with the people who play its games.
