Hey Randy, I’m not sure if saying that a “real fan” will figure out how to pay $80 for Borderlands 4 is a good look

I feel it is likely to be time to cease letting Gearbox head Randy Pitchford tweet about his personal video games. Simply final month, he by chance shared the truth that Borderlands 4 was getting an sooner than anticipated launch date forward of an official announcement; he put that one all the way down to time zones. This time his overly keen angle in the direction of posting hasn’t revealed any details about Borderlands 4 he wasn’t meant to, however it’s one thing that would perhaps, simply probably, be considered as ever-so-slightly out of contact.

Final week, when one other Twitter consumer expressed concern over the upcoming shooter probably being $80 (a worth level hasn’t been set simply but), Pitchford first famous that this isn’t his name. To be truthful to him, I think about this’ll come all the way down to different folks at Gearbox in addition to Borderlands’ writer 2K.

Then, Pitchford thought he’d comply with it up with this little nugget: “If you’re a real fan, you’ll find a way to make it happen. My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen.”

Now, this is the factor. For an enormous portion of individuals, even $60 is unthinkable for a recreation buy, not to mention $80. Second of all, have you ever seen the economic system just lately Randy! It is not nice! The Borderlands sequence is greater than 15 years outdated, plenty of your viewers will likely be common folks with jobs struggling to make ends meet. Not precisely positive you thought by means of this one all that a lot, buddy.

Once more, no concept if Borderlands 4 will likely be $80 or not, at a current PAX East panel (by way of IGN) Pitchford even stated he would not understand how a lot it will be. I simply assume we might maybe take a little bit extra tact, particularly seeing as we do not know whether or not $80 video games will work or not but.
