      Unfortunately, the real appeal of the Borderlands series is multiplayer. The games are alright in single player mode, but multiplayer is where it really shines. And cracked copies likely won’t work with multiplayer, because they use game servers for matchmaking.

        IIRC all of the past ones have worked over LAN, including over a private VPN if you so desire. I definitely played pirated copies of 1 and 2 with my mates. I had no real desire to get very deep into 3 because the campaign storyline was so stupid, but I don’t doubt you could.

        It’s only online matchmaking with randos that you’ll be blocked from, which if you ask me is not really that much of a detriment.

      Theseus’ ship? Borderlands 4 is just the projectfile of borderlands 2 with every part replaced? 😱
