    Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.

      That’s legitimately how I read what he was saying at first.

    Like waiting 6 months for them to panic over low sales and put on 50% sale?

    Maybe, or maybe I’ll wait for the ultimate edition with all dlc to hit $40

      I mean 50% off and still being $40 still sounds like a terrible deal

        Right? I didn’t realize how disinterested I was in Borderlands until I read that.

      When $40 is half price, I will generally pass as if it were $80. There is a glut of amazing content out there for $40 or less, and much of it is truly inspired indie work. When your half-price game is competing with great full-price indie titles, I will continue to ignore your overpriced corporate muck.

      Borderlands 3 is in a free giveaway after a year or so on Epic Games. The sales must be abysmal to give a flagship franchise away for free, because of Randy being a bitch and insist exclusive is good. This will hopefully bite them back like last time.

      I honestly think it will sell a lot because most gamers won’t be able to control themselves.

        What does a 12 year old care about $80? They ain’t spending that. Their parents are.

      Or get it second-hand off G2A or CDKeys.

      I’m never paying $80 for a video game.

        piracy is preferable over buying a key off of greymarket sites like this tbh

        I wouldn’t advise using those services, myself. Lots of sketchy stuff. Legit copies of digital games go on sale often enough.

    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 horse 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.
