Fails company notability as per

WP:CORP: this company only existed for 18 months and never had a product that saw the light of day. How could they be notable if they had no sales, no revenue, no products, no track record... -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:44, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply

Strong Delete: Even the company website isn't actually a website. Not a good sign. The article practically lists a good reason for its exclusion of notability; It openly admits it dissolved without accomplishing or releasing a single thing. Company article with no resources sited, its one game mentioned is a red link in the article... has no any third-party sources or perspective, or discussion of reception/impact or broader culture statement. Delete. Do we have a category for "notable for strong feeling of being unremarkable"? WP:MISSEDTRAIN? If this were a new company I'd say it could be incubated and improved, but odds of there being any new sources or events for it are zero.

Strong Delete - no notability, no released games, no website = no article. --Teancum (talk) 18:34, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Common or garden delete - Article links to Gamasutra, but a site search unearths no mention of this team. Official website empty. Makes me wonder where the contributor got his information from? Marasmusine (talk) 14:07, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- RBR did exist.[1][2] I've seen the company mentioned in recent Pitchford interviews he's been doing to promote Borderlands. -
