message: The Aliens: Colonial Marines wiki page has a lot of not-so-positive
stuff on Gearbox Software, which appears to have plenty of problems since the Duke Nukem Forever controversy. This page really should be edited to better reflect reality (as demonstrated on their own products' pages which documents the various issues at hand). Just sayin'.

thread_title:  Page seems be a PR piece - their recent troubles haven't been documented on here yet for some reason 

message: I have removed the last sentence from the 'Brothers in Arms' section. It was mere speculation, which does not belong on Wikipedia.
'Brothers in Arms: War Heroes' was never announced. Gearbox DID copyright the name 'War Heroes' and 'War Hero' in 2011, but have never announced anything related to it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.22.70.175 (talk) 16:03, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

message: We are missing Halo CE’s PC port, which was done by gearbox Software around the same time they were making Half-Life expansions and ports.
Since Halo is a massive franchise, that’s a big oversight.
Not sure if Halo 2 was also ported by Gearbox, but I think it was if I recall reading a while back. We’d need to find a credible and citable source, of course.
I can add the info, insha’Allah, but wanted to get feedback first in case it was already discussed before and for any other opinions. NazmusLabs (A small part of a bigger movement to better the world!) (talk) 14:27, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

message: It lists the actual developers as publishers, when Gearbox's involvement in half these games is as the publisher, not developer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.124.213.242 (talk) 14:35, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

message: Why does Trover Saves the Universe redirect to the Gearbox page? Seems like it should have its own page. Developed by Justin Roiland, on major platforms, plenty of press coverage...what's the deal? Tactical Fiend (talk) 15:58, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trover Saves the Universe redirect 

message: Perfect World, when the acquisition is finished, will be under the Gearbox Entertainment group - the parent company of Gearbox Software, per the press release. PW will be a sibling company to Gearbox Software, not under Gearbox Software. Press release "Through the acquisition of PWE, Gearbox Entertainment will onboard PWE Publishing and Cryptic Studios, which will both remain independent within Gearbox Entertainment." Gearbox Software is NOT Gearbox Entertainment. --Masem (t) 01:35, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

message: ,  Hi! Dan Hewitt from Gearbox here. Thank you again for your help updating Randy Pitchford’s page. The Gearbox Entertainment Company has had a restructuring over the last few years, and as a result, I’d like to revisit developing Wikipedia pages for Gearbox Entertainment and Publishing as to accurately represent the changed corporate structure. I’m happy to take the first pass at drafting appropriately sourced content for these pages to post with your review. Let me know. Thanks and I appreciate your help! DanHewittGBX (talk)
,  Hi, wanted to follow up on the message above in regards to creating new pages for Gearbox Entertainment and Publishing. I can provide content and sources for those pages for your review. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you! DanHewittGBX (talk)
:  Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get any of your recent pings (it appears you are signing your posts with 3 tidles, but it should be 4) and just saw this by chance. I am currently on the go and will look into the matter later today. Courtesy ping , who likely wasn't notified either. IceWelder [✉] 09:03, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: So, as far as I can see, TGEC does not really satisfy notability guidelines as there is no significant coverage of it; it only appears in news bits (e.g. acquisition by Embracer, acquisition of Lost Boys, reorganization). Gearbox Publishing might be a more viable article given coverage like this. You may feel free to write up drafts for both that would be checked by other editors before publication. Another option I was thinking of is a list of Embracer Group operative groups, which would allow for room to address all 10 groups, including TGEC, in at least some detail. Would love to know what you think, and also get second opinion from Masem. IceWelder [✉] 19:39, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

text: Quick answer is that in comparison to Gearbox Software, Gearbox Publishing lacks the separate coverage to make it notable under our guidelines (particularly WP:NCORP). But its activities should clearly be documented so covering it here makes sense. Masem (t) 21:26, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
