No thanks. I can support 2-3 visionary indie developers for what you’re charging for your hollow “AAA” drivel. Even when you realize this and kick off the deep cut sales, I’ll skip the game, because even at half price this will be more expensive than your competition. You don’t get to price gouge gamers any more, Randy.

Yup, I can spend a thousand hours playing a $30 game. Rock and stone!

Yeah, sure, the same way I made BL3 happen.

Wait until the DLC is all out and hit the high seas.

Arrrr, I'll make ye happen, Randy.

Lol fuck you pitchford.

It'll be free on Epic one day. I can wait.

[–] original_reader@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

You're clearly not Randy's target audience.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

After the shit shows that were BL3 and the movie, there's no way in Hell I'd pay 80 for another Borderlands

"If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen.

First, I'm not. Second yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me. Just like when Metallica got all butt hurt about Napster, I'll just download your shit, repeatedly, and then delete it again. Fuck you.

BL3 was so mediocre for me I regretted spending 15 hours playing it, so yeah I doubt I'll be forking over any amount of money for a BL4

Last time I saw them discount Wonderlands on Steam, it was 75% off, but the base price had been doubled a couple hours before. So I bought it for $3 on a grey market site instead.

Like many already said here, I guess "I'll find a way to make it happen"... again.

Well, If he’s only targeting to hardcore fans, good luck covering the budget. Sales will look like pre-mainstream gaming days. Lmao

Are there any? It's hardly been storming the zeitgeist since the first one showed a modicum of originality which they have since shunned. Randy's stench certainly hasn't helped.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago

Honestly, the idea that games should stay USD60 forever is patently ridiculous. Given the choice between paying more up front for a complete experience, and endless nickel and diming and dollaring after the fact, I'll take the former, thanks. Obviously companies are going to do both, so you pays your money, you makes your choice.

I am enjoying the hubris of Randy thinking anyone's that desperate for a new Borderlands game, though. Bless his ludicrously colourful (presumably) cotton socks.

Interesting strategy, considering I was only willing to pay before he said that.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, by waiting for it to be on Game Pass.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don’t mind paying $80 for a game but it better run amazingly well and be a great game

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

You can count on Randy!
