Stop buying Gearbox slop. Jesus fucking christ people. Why are they still getting a free pass for being objectively shitty developers?

Suck my cock pitchford. Hope the game bombs as bad as the movie fuckwad.
I got Borderlands 3 free on Epic Games, and it still sit there not being played. Guess it's time to leave this franchise for good.
I can make it happen during a Steam summer sale 4 years later. Borderlands 3 wasn't that great when you compare it to 1 and 2. I can wait.
I don't condone this, but we already had $60 games 10 years ago. If you simply add inflation you'd be at $81 today. That doesn't even take into account that modern games also have larger budgets compared to back then.
Video games really are a cheap hobby comparatively speaking. I still wait for sales of course :)
I'm a huge borderlands fan. I will not be buying this for $80 lol.
Or we'll boycott you shit ass companies
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" 10 million dollars of Segas money causing Colonial marines to bomb.
Fuck that guy. Fuck anything he says.
I can make it happen? Okeydokey! 🏴☠️
Too much games to play on the market to justify the urgency to buy it at release for 80 bucks. they now compete with free to play, gamepass, Indy games, piracy, and tons of past games with lower cost.
The fomo of newly released games is low when most games are released in shitty state and need 1/2 months of patches/fixes and that's not even taking in consideration that the best experience is when all the dlcs are released and make the game finally complete.
The AAA industry is fucked. In a world where quality games are released each weeks they are often but even the best way to have fun with our limited time, like tepid Ubisoft games...
Yeah I'm really starting to feel like we're gonna see a lot of these companies shift from doing big AAA games to instead publishing small indie games. Almost all of these big companies have indie publishing arms now and as they start to see good profits from those without having to take on the cost of paying devs themselves I wouldn't be surprised if they start cutting back on their own dev teams and shifting to that.
Lol Randy actively taking the winds out of his own sails.
I hope he rots in piss.
The video game landscape is already filled to the brims with more games than I need to play for the rest of my life and you want me to hurry up to pay for a game as it comes out, to ditch out the full price when my computer would suffer for the lack of latest gen hardware when I could easily find a large amount of fantastic games for less than 10 bucks and comfortably max out their settings?
Like, the witcher 3 with all its DLC, a fantastic game which is 10 years old but got a free graphics upgrade and with all its DLC, worth hundreds of hours of gameplay and a memorable experience is less than 10 bucks, as we speak, both on steam and gog.
Most people already have more games than they have time to play. Patient gamer has never been more rewarding. We fall too often for the fear of missing out the experience and hype of a new launch...
I finished GTA 4 and 5 like a year ago, on my steam deck. I couldn't care less if these games came out like 10 years ago. It gives me the flexibility to play them how I want to.
Looks like fitgirl will be getting my business instead
Found a way!
If Randy Pitchford was a real CEO he would find a way to make $60 games
He's too busy collecting child porn to bother with running his business.
I will never buy the game out of spite
My game backlog has reached mars so I am in no hurry. Still havent even started tiny tina's wonderlands.
That's what he thinks.
mm yes gatekeeping and money shaming, that'll convince them.
Yarrow. Matey. Captains orders are to take to the high seas!!!!!
Not a fan. Borderlands 3 made it happen.
The real answer should've been "the fuck you want, you're willing to pay the same for a Switch game.."
I found a way already, it's called patience. Works well for basically any non nintendo game.
You can still (for the moment) be patient with Nintendo games if you're OK buying second hand
I solved that by moving to pc and forgetting about Nintendo's existence.
SUS USB Randy Pitchford?
Likely pedophile Randy Pitchford.
Well guess I ain’t a massive fan then. Shame
They never fixed the bugs in Borderlands 3. Let me rush out and get this
I'm OK with not being a "real fan".
If you're a real fan, Randy, you find a way not to fuck up the franchise, but so far after Borderlands 2 you managed to deliver us disappointment after disappointment. So fuck off, I'll pirate 4 to play it for 3 to 4 hours after which I'll delete is because it sucks as expected. If I manage to reach 40 hours of gameplay, which is 2 euros per hour, I'll buy your game. But we both know this isn't going to happen, right Randy?
Yeah, no.
Hi Randy, fuck off lol
Shut up. Dingus.
