37-year-old Caleb McAlpine, currently battling cancer, turned to Reddit to share his compelling tale and discuss his deep affection for the Borderlands series throughout his life.

In just a few short hours, Caleb’s post sparked significant interest, attracting attention from users across the subreddit and accumulating thousands of positive reactions. Quickly, well-known Borderlands Twitch and YouTube streamer K11ler Six was mentioned, allowing him to pass the question on to someone at Gearbox.
Shortly thereafter, Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, openly addressed the whole matter through X, stating his confirmation.
Caleb and I are currently exchanging emails, and we’re determined to take the necessary steps to bring about some progress.
Caleb shares that he has advanced, incurable stage 4 cancer that has affected his entire liver. If chemotherapy helps, the doctors estimate he might live for another two years, but if it doesn’t, the prognosis is between 7 and 12 months at most.
Additional details concerning Caleb’s cancer fight can be found on his GoFundme page. It appears that the fundraising effort has experienced a significant surge in donations following the popularization of the Reddit post. Yesterday, the campaign had managed to gather approximately $2,000, but after just 24 hours, it seems that the initial goal of $9,000 has already been surpassed.
Borderlands 4 Has A Ton Of Expectations Tied To It
In the upcoming year, there’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Borderlands 4, one of the highly anticipated shooter games. A sneak peek was given back in August, sparking excitement within the Borderlands fanbase, particularly following the disappointing Borderlands movie launch.
In the world of video games, it’s not unusual to experience delays. Therefore, if Caleb manages to play the upcoming shooter game ahead of schedule, it would be a victory not just for him but for the entire gaming community. If this story materializes, I will certainly update the article accordingly.
