The story behind Michael Mamaril

On Monday, I was reviewing my Borderlands 2 Trophy list when I came across the ‘Tribute to A Vault Hunter’ achievement. According to its description, I needed to acquire an item from Michael Mamaril. After a few minutes of intelligent Googling, I discovered that Michael is a non-playable character residing in Sanctuary who, if you talk to him, will give you some rare loot. The lengths some people will go to for interesting conversation…

It's good to see developers doing some good despite all the horrible business practices we've had in the industry lately. Bravo Gearbox!

You're a class act, Gearbox. Not the first time that Ive read how they are in touch with and appreciate their fanbase. Classy game too, btw.

This made me cry a little. It's good to see that the true spirit of gaming still exist with some game developers and I am glad this guy lives on in his favorite game.
