Two hours in, Chris Donahue, Take-Two's account manager and the team's most experienced biz dev person, stood up, a knife in his hand. "Tell my family I love them," he quipped as he cut a piece and quickly ate it. We had no time to stop him.

It had no card. It wasn't addressed to anyone, not even the store team - just to Epic. It was anonymous. It had the text "Congrats on the Boarderlands 3 Release!". That's right, "Boarderlands", in a font clearly not approved by anyone even remotely related to Borderlands 3.
