      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.

        Weinstein? Diddy? Epstein?

        I think the more apt description would be that when you’re got something that makes other people money, then you will be protected. When that ends you’re fair game.

        I also agree that the more money you have the better defence you can get, but I don’t believe laws only apply to the poor. That’s hyperbole.

          For small indies it makes sense to publish on the pc epic game store a year earlier to get fundet for simply releasing the game there earlier.
          A lot of smaller indies used that time as a kind of early access and got later super popular on steam, the main pc game store.

          But for a big studio to do something like this is scummy
          They already have a playerbase and a big budget
          I dont even know if payment was involved but there is no other reason i can think of that explains this

            I won't be buying any game that costs $80 not when I have a mountain of games in my Steam Library, many of which are getting played thanks to the Steam Deck and if that's not enough I have Game Pass too so why the hell would I even consider paying $80

              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.

                Randy pitchford?

                THAT Randy Pitchford?
                The Randy Pitchford that, because he loves magic tricks, downloaded himself some squirt porn (sfw youtube link to moistcritical) on the same thumb drive as company secrets, and then left it at a Medieval Times?
                The same Randy that grabbed the Claptrap VA by the junk because he was tired of voicing Claptrap for free and had the audacity to ask to be paid so Pitchford tried to intimidate him? The same Randy Pitchford that somehow "lost" millions dollars of Segas money causing Colonial marines to bomb so that they could fund Borderlands 2 and Duke Nukem Forever He's also not above putting journalists who bad mouth him in his games as petty revenge.

                Fuck that guy. Fuck anything he says.

                  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?

                      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.

                        I'm not gonna sit and tell a man he can't have a kink preference in his own home on his own time.

                        But Jesus fuck on the company thumb drive? Bro is a ceo and cant afford a "personal folder" usb. Here $12 for a 128Gb one on Amazon is not uncommon And then to be so distracted he forgot it.

                        You've missed the part where that was actually something he said. Who cares about what the idiot's exact kink, he had to save his honour telling people it wasn't "really" porn.

                          Yeah, Randy, I find a way to make it happen, it's called Xbox sale. That’s how I bought Borderlands 3. Which I haven't played yet. And don't get me wrong, Randy, Borderlands 2 is one of the most fun games I've played, I'm definitely a real fan! I'm definitely a video game enthusiast, I have a ginormous backlog on both Xbox and Steam.

                            Holy shit, I knew about the "magic trick" girl and thought he was a quirky funny man, but assaulting an artist to force them to work for free? What a fucking asshole

                                  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.

                                    The trailer for the new borderlands looked like the most soulless, boring cash grab. Anyone put much time into it yet?

                                      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

                                        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

                                          I've found a way.

                                          1. Invite Randy Pitchford to Medieval Times.
