$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"

BL2 had unique blues which were OP.

Guess I'm not a real fan. Fuck you Randy. He's such a cunt.

People started quitting, so Randy promised them an “unprecedented company profit-sharing bonus model.” That never got paid—he blamed “higher-than-anticipated development costs and sales not meeting projections.”
Borderlands 3 went GOTY, a few dozens millions copies sold. Randy secured a $12M executive bonus for himself.
When staff expressed dissatisfaction, Pitchford told them they were free to quit. This was in the middle of the pandemic, and the job market was absolute crap. -
He's too busy collecting child porn to bother with running his business.

And my way is, wait a few years for the deluxe edition to come out on sale.

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.

Nope, just would play Tiny Tina's Wonderland again honestly, which I got for around $10 when it was heavily on sale a year ago.

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.

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.

But, one, that money won't actually make it to the devs, and two, any time Randy Pitchford is for something it's really hard not to automatically be against it, on the assumption that he's so consistently wrong about everything, and just such an unbelievable piece of shit, that just assuming he's in the wrong is the safest bet.

We could access the game through epic store, but it's a separate account, and not everybody has/want one. Hence the wait to release on Steam. -
