teft, (edited ) do games w Borderlands 4 Patch Due Out Today, PC Performance 'Our Top Priority,' Gearbox Says

I thought this was a “premium” game. Why should they optimize for the poors? /s

But I already started making my own game engine!

Dude is such a tool.

I wasn’t too keen on that $70 basic version price tag in the first place, so thanks Randy. Can’t wait for it to be $39.99

Zanathos,

Why stop there? Pretty sure BL3 was free at some point recently.

He's looking like the Anti-Gaben Newell in that picture there.

A “Pitchford” - the meme of Randall Pitchford always, ALWAYS being an ass. This isn’t anything new, just “fresh” again.

Considering i didn’t bother to buy anything borderlands related since Borderlands 2, it will keep preety muchbthe same for me

YiddishMcSquidish,

Same, got 1&2 on a humble bundle. I remember one running great, and 2 bearable on a 1gb netbook att. Cell shaded games shouldn’t be this resource intensive!

tio_bira,

I still have my physical PC copy for the first Borderlands, it sounds almost a whole different world when i read 512mb vram recommended on the specs…

Countdown to him getting fired in 3…2…3…4…8…49…

Because companies ultimately seem to love leaders that are toxic these days.

I could be wrong, but doesn’t he own the company?

SkunkWorkz,

He wasn’t the only founder and Embracer bought them in 2021. Later TakeTwo acquired the studio when Embracer had to restructure. They operate under 2k now so he can most surely be fired.

Also probably why he is even more of a cocky cunt nowadays. He already cashed out.

Mortoc,

I worked for Take-Two. The bankers that run that company absolutely see the world the way Randy does. Fuck’em.

ModernRisk, do games w 'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash

Never bought any of the Borderlands games and probably never will.

FarmTaco,

weird flex but okay

ModernRisk,

That’s okay, I love being weird.

SCmSTR,

1 was a flawed revolution and had great dlc. 2 was … A very clear sign of stagnation but has one of the greatest badguys in multiplayer gaming.

There were a few interesting moments and side stories and unique characters after that, but for example, the transitory moment of seeing Ashley Burke come alive as Tiny Tina was once in a lifetime chance that you had to live through in that year/era. Going back now, it’s not really that special since everything is derivative and we live in the future.

ModernRisk,

Glad you enjoyed the games, I suppose. But I never really cared for the Borderlands games and reading how Pitchford is behaving makes me not want to even try the games.

SCmSTR,

I like first person shooters, the original counter strike is one of my roots. I also have many fond memories of Diablo 2 and LAN parties. Borderlands 1 was a taste of what could be and was VERY exciting, as it was trying to combine two things I loved in games and really wanted (and still do). Unfortunately, Pitchford has been driving it into the ground ever since BL1, and wasting his position at the helm. Godawful behavior aside, it’s time for him to move aside for somebody with more talent for game development or something.

If you don’t mind me asking, why didn’t you ever care for the borderlands games? Just for frame of perspective, I want/like to understand what people like and don’t like and why.

Guys who wear bowties are not smart, but desperately need people to think they are.

abcdqfr,

What french fuckin year is it where ANYONE feels the NEED to wear a bowtie?! You can just wear your boxers as a neckerchief if you like…

OmegaMan,

Bowties are fine for formal (social) occasions like weddings and parties. Wearing them around every day is weird. Wearing them to work is (generally) weird.

Committing to wearing them everywhere and STILL buying pre-tied ones and not learning how to tie them yourself all while being a mega douche is cringe af.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yeah, learn to tie them if you’re going to make it part of your personality.

NeilBru,

Finally, someone agrees with me on the fucking bow tie thing.

Love the tie. Wear the tie. Talk about the tie. If you can’t tie the tie but you do the first 3, I can’t respect you.

I present to you bill nye as a counter argument

itsprobablyfine,

Honestly, I think he might actually fall into the category of cares more about appearing smart than being smart. Not to say he’s dumb, but I do get the sense the reputation is very important to him

treesapx,

Celebrities with distinct looks almost by definition have to be exceptions to this discussion. Wearing a giant clock necklace to work would absolutely be weird unless it were Flavor Flav.

i think it’s more about him having gotten used to it when he played a character on a children’s programme. he also has the face for it, which randall does not.

They’re using a poorly made graphics engine and got scammed into implementing malware into their game.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In,

For a AAA game Unreal 5 seems like a reasonable choice for an engine because you have access to Epic Games devs.

The reality is you made a game that few will play for several years. You could have made a game that could be playable on most contemporary machines. You didn’t and will now have to suffer from shitty sales due to your inability to understand that the majority of us don’t have the money to spend like you do you out of touch clueless ballsack.

zod000,

Anyone that remembers Aliens: Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever knows that Randy Pitchford is garbage. He also ran off most of the talent behind BL1 and BL2, which is why BL3 writing was shitty.

BlameTheAntifa, do games w 'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash

The game is grossly overpriced and infected Denuvo malware. Those things are all symptoms of Randy Pitchford being involved. I’ll pass.

Randy needs to get comfy with the fact that he may go broke. Do what the doctors in goa (a state in India) did to their health minister. But in this case impact his income & force him to grovel.
