Yeah, the way to make it happen is adding it to my wishlist and waiting for the price to drop to at least $40.

Hi Randy, fuck off lol
I got bored with Borderlands 3 in one hour. Copy pasta gameplay and I’m tired of the art style and humor. I only paid a fiver but I wish I had bought a burger instead.
I thought Borderlands was lots of fun, but not four games (for now) and a movie (for now) worth of fun. Even two games was pushing it a bit. You can only stretch things out so much.
Give us guaranteed emploment of the staff that built it, and you get guaranteed pre orders?
Wait, how do you guarantee employment to a team after their work and contract is complete?
You say what project they'll be transitioning to as less and less bug fixes are necessary. Could even be dlc

Real fans "Find a Way" Yarr.
It's like they don't understand how piracy works.
Borderlands isn't that good, Randy. Is anyone that much of a fan of a genetic shooter who's only distinguishing feature was the art style and the number of guns? (which I found got tiresome pretty quickly.) I played and enjoyed the first one, but from what I've played of 2 and the Pre-sequel, it was just more of the same so I haven't bothered since.
I found a way already, it's called patience. Works well for basically any non nintendo game.

Weeps in Canadian
I’ve been paying $80 the whole time! Now I have to pay even more!
Either way I won’t be buying Borderlands 4 for like $100 I can tell you that much.
Well, new Doom is 90€ I aint buying that garbage. 80+ € or bucks for a AAA always online slop is just a NO.
I guess me and my several thousand borderlands hours are not a real fan then? The games weren't worth $80 even when they came with goodies. They're not worth $80 without the goodies. I'll just wait for a sale.

Looks like fitgirl will be getting my business instead
Found a way!
TIL a lot of people aren’t real fans.
Or we'll boycott you shit ass companies
I'm not a huge fan of Borderlands. I like the stories. But I don't like the loot goblining. Constant hunt for ever higher damage numbers.
There's only 1 company I'll pay $80 for a new game. And that is Ryu Ga Gotoku. Cuz they don't miss. No bad half finished launches. No bad games. Every game is a masterclass in Peak.

In today's dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.
Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today's dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.
Just some perspective. I'm going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.

Not a fan. Borderlands 3 made it happen.
Stop buying Gearbox slop. Jesus fucking christ people. Why are they still getting a free pass for being objectively shitty developers?

The video game landscape is already filled to the brims with more games than I need to play for the rest of my life and you want me to hurry up to pay for a game as it comes out, to ditch out the full price when my computer would suffer for the lack of latest gen hardware when I could easily find a large amount of fantastic games for less than 10 bucks and comfortably max out their settings?
Like, the witcher 3 with all its DLC, a fantastic game which is 10 years old but got a free graphics upgrade and with all its DLC, worth hundreds of hours of gameplay and a memorable experience is less than 10 bucks, as we speak, both on steam and gog.
Most people already have more games than they have time to play. Patient gamer has never been more rewarding. We fall too often for the fear of missing out the experience and hype of a new launch...
I finished GTA 4 and 5 like a year ago, on my steam deck. I couldn't care less if these games came out like 10 years ago. It gives me the flexibility to play them how I want to.
100% agree. I no joke own about 900 games I haven't played between steam (most bought when I was young and naive, probably bought like 10 games in the last 10 years now I know better), epic free games, and playstation plus monthly "free" games (not even counting the catalogue you now get access to), yes they're technically not entirely free but I'd be paying for plus regardless so they kinda are.
Now as a lot of these games weren't chosen by me, by no means do I want to play them all, and some are duplicates across platforms. But if even 10% interest me, that's still 90 games. I probably play games at a rate slower than 1 per month. That's years of games to me. And more will be stacking up in that time. I haven't bought a game in like 3 years and it's entirely possible I'll never buy a game again at this rate.
I can make it happen during a Steam summer sale 4 years later. Borderlands 3 wasn't that great when you compare it to 1 and 2. I can wait.
I didn't want borderlands even when it was cheaper.
I got Borderlands 3 free on Epic Games, and it still sit there not being played. Guess it's time to leave this franchise for good.
More like 80 plus gamers not supporting the NintenoDONT greed trend.
Well guess I ain’t a massive fan then. Shame
I'm OK with not being a "real fan".
