Whatever. I’ll do what any good PC gamer does and buy if it goes on sale for a 90% discount in a decade. Or I just won’t buy it because I’ll be too busy repairing my shanty/house boat. We’ll see how things shake out

If it’s even a game good, as a patient game, I can wait a year or more when it’s $30. More AAA titles than ever are overpriced garbage anyway.

I don’t know how Randy manages it.

There’s so much competition these days, yet somehow his crack team of developers manage to keep him at number one in the list of “Biggest Cunts in Gaming”.

It’s honestly impressive. I had no intention of buying this because I think his games are all wank, but fuck him anyway.

Alaik,

Come on man. With Peter Molyneuix and Jay Wilson (Launch D3) still alive? I’ll agree top 5 but man competition is stiff for the #1 spot nowadays.

Twelve20two,

Peter doesn’t release big budget games anymore, does he? And if he does, do they still let him do promo material?

Does Randy even realize how much the industry’s landscape has changed ?

First of all you’re in competition with your older games. BDL1 and 2 had soul and were good. BDL 3 is still ok (no idea about the pre-sequel but I heard it was the beginning of the downwards trend). Not to mention the literal hundreds (even thousands for some of us) of other good games sitting in our libraries. And the indie bangers consistently proving that we don’t need to pay 80$ and download a 200 Go day one patch to enjoy the medium in 2025. I hope this bankrupts Gearbox at this point.

If you anger him, Randy might send you to the COD mines.

Lol. I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.

Exactly, you will find a way to make it happen

I don’t know about you all, but I’m looking forward to checking out all the games I’ve missed in the past 20 years.

My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen.

The classic CEO fanfic… They also learn everything they need to be a successful businessman by selling lemonade in a stall

You just ask for 🏴‍☠️ at this point.

null,

I mean, he seems out of touch, sure, but what’s the fanfic?

Alaik,

Cause shit was a lot easier with disposable income in 1991. Source: Had more disposable income with a “regular job” in 1991.

null,

Is there anything to back that up?

With inflation, that would be pushing $160…

Twelve20two,

From what I found, the minimum wage in California (where Pismo Beach is) in 1991 was $4.25/hour. If he worked 20 hours a week, that’s $340/month before taxes. He almost certainly would’ve been a student at the time since he would’ve been 20 that year. I don’t know what funding he would’ve had, but it honestly sounds doable for 1991

null,

And today they’d be making $1320/month before taxes. Shouldn’t it be easier to afford that $80 purchase now than it was then?

overload,

Not to mention Randy didn’t have the same alternative high quality games to buy for way less than $80 back then. The price of top games was the price, now there is so much good stuff for less. Why should we pay $80 for yet another borderlands?

His father worked for the U.S. Intelligence as an engineer, I really doubt he had any financial problem that the “I found a way to make it happen.” is anything different them “I asked for daddy’s money”

null,

TBH this sounds like more of a fanfic to me. Or haterfic I guess.

Did they fix borderlands 3 yet? It came on game pass and it turns out it’s impossible to play for more than 15 minutes without resetting the game and doing it from the last checkpoint. I won’t be playing 4 until I complete 3, and I won’t be completing 3 until it’s fixed.

guess i’m not a real fan then. will wait for it to be 70% off and be a real fan for less. thanks!

Oka,

100% off :)

Fuck Randy Pitchford.

Yanno, I have always loved borderlands, but randy pitchford is an absolute fucking tool.

I even bought one of the diamond editions that came with a physical damn loot crate and tons of goodies with BL3, so it’s not like I’m not a fan. But still, how fucking stupid do you have to be to say it like this? What a stupid jackass.

rickyrigatoni, do gaming w As Gamers Express Concern About Borderlands 4 Potentially Costing $80, Gearbox Chief Randy Pitchford Says: ‘If You’re a Real Fan, You’ll Find a Way to Make It Happen’

The last two weren’t even worth $60, man. Make games worth $80 before pricing them that high.

Alaik,

Are we including Tiny Tina? Cause mainline BL I’ll agree with you but tiny tinas wonderland was pretty legit.

rickyrigatoni,

I forgot that game even existed so that might answer the question.

If you are a real Chief you will make it cheaper.
