The biggest issue that could probably plague any game is when it suddenly crashes, and you have to restart it, possibly losing hours of progress made. Fans of the 4th entry into the Borderlands series have already started reporting that this is happening to them as well. This is a serious issue, since crashing after a few hours’ worth of binging means you could lose all progress made. However, crashing less than 10 minutes into the game is worse, since players will simply give up, and maybe even ask for refunds.
