Fuck you, I'm not paying $80 for a game so an executive can get a new Porsche.

Or wait the number of years it takes to be on sale for $20.
I didn’t pay anywhere near $80 for Borderlands 1-3+ all the DLC…. So um. No. I’m in no hurry.
This isn’t all the games but it goes on for like another 2 screens worth for all the DLC…
This is such a scummy statement I want BL4 less now. Let him eat cake.
Im always thrown off as a Canadian when I see these headlines because we’ve been paying $80 for games for decades.
Video games haven’t risen in cost with inflation and they’re much better and bigger now so I’m not super upset, but they are now at the point where I won’t buy a game at release or full price. I think the new price here is $93 cause that’s what the new Indiana jones is going for
What I hate most is that the game actually costs $150 and they split it and give you a stripped version for $80. I think gta 4 was the last game i truly felt made sense, game releases, we buy it, story dlc comes out later we get it, transaction over. No online bullshit that tries to keep you paying money into the game without end. Not a game split into little chunks and sold as tiers at release
Video games haven’t risen in cost with inflation and they’re much better and bigger now
I agree with the bigger, but not better tbh
ugh. i wont even pirate it. gross
Just started expedition 33. Omg. So so good!
Point is... I'll play something else.
Listen here, just wait for Menace to release (By Overhype studios) now that's a proper turn-based game
If I was a real fan.
Nah na na na na na na na na
Thank you Gwen Stefani for saying all the na's for me.
Dead Island 2 is free on Epic currently, and probably more fun than Borderlands 4; BL 3 wasn't written well, and i assume the same for BL 4. A shame, BL2 is one of my most played FPS
Yarrr Matey, they'll find a way.
To quote LazyTown: Yar har, fiddle de dee...
Sail the high sea! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Since I didn’t enjoy the handsome collection I wouldn’t buy it at any price, but even for games I do enjoy I wait until they are on sale preferably with the DLCs included
I will illegally download an illegal version of the game, thanks bye
The trailer for the new borderlands looked like the most soulless, boring cash grab. Anyone put much time into it yet?
Find a way?
Piracy is a way. Thanks for the tip.
Yarrrrr
Real fan?
Bitch please. We've put up with your crap for so long and we still play it....
Get out of here with that house shit. Get fucked. Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on. At best, I'll wait for a sale, at worst, I'm never playing your goddamned franchise again because you've run it into the ground with enshittification.
Listen, I unironically love being woke. Accessibility for impairments? Human rights? Equity? Regulations standing in the way of greed? Overrepresentation of minority demographics? Fuck yes to all of that shit. Hell's Yeah.
But the direction of these games have been poor for a lot of reasons. It doesn't feel woke, really, it feels like they want us to believe they aren't Handsome Jack's corporate studio goons like they are.
I can barely justify 50€ for a massive game like Baldur's Gate 3. I'd never pay that much for any other game that is not on this scale. But 80 bucks? The fuck are they thinking?
They don't have any dlc lined up yet so not being to sell you empty promises on top of a normal game price is really tugging at Randy's purse strings.
/s
I've found a way.
- Invite Randy Pitchford to Medieval Times.
Randy Pitchfork?
I knew Randy would fuck up the game somehow.
Seriously, why do they let him talk? The man is a walking PR disaster.
Then again, we should all be asking how the hell he's not in jail for possession of child porn, so I guess this is a pretty minor thing in comparison.
Remember how Randy Pitchford funneled money that was supposed to go to Aliens: Colonial Marines into Borderlands 2 (and Duke Nukem Forever lol)
How the fuck do you leave a USB stick full of child abuse material at a fucking Medieval Times and get away with it?
Also, let's not forget the new EULA regarding shift accountsAlso, he made his 'fans" wait while bl3 was only available on the epic store. Fuck this dude, I am done with the franchise.
And my way is, wait a few years for the deluxe edition to come out on sale.
Shit, I waited until BL3 was free on PSN, and I'll get around to it someday.
