Lmao guess I’m not a real fan then!

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'm really bad about buying new games at launch where I like the franchise and getting burned (looking at you bf2042).
However with all of the stupid politics, tariffs, and recession coming in the US, I'm sure the hell not buying this at $80, even if I'm a long term borderlands fan. I have way too many games in my library I should be playing/finishing anyway.
I hope others speak with their wallets as well.

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.

That said a borderlands came on the gamepass the other week and I was so excited to lure my boy into co-op with me for the first time in ages. It wouldn't stop crashing. I googled it to see if they were aware and all I could find was the company sucking it's own dick about having already released the final patch to stop it crashing so many times. I wouldn't say I'm thrilled about the idea of dropping $80 on a day one release.

Or get it second-hand off G2A or CDKeys.
I'm never paying $80 for a video game.

Feel free to roast me in the process.

I get it's a bit of a niche genre, though. The factory thing the way Factorio does it isn't for everybody.

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.

I honestly don't know how people play this game. Every 12 seconds coming across new gear. Can't do it.

Like the point of the game is loot goblining, but they’ve promised not to inundate the player with legendary weapons every twelve seconds so that you actually have time to savor the weapons you get between good drops.
