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.

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

That's what he thinks.

Suck my cock pitchford. Hope the game bombs as bad as the movie fuckwad.

I am not a reaI fan ?.I am ok with being a "hypothetical" fan and buying it later at a reasonable price

Guess we all know what we have to do

I will never buy the game out of spite

[–] 8bittech@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

They never fixed the bugs in Borderlands 3. Let me rush out and get this

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.

In today's dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.

Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today's dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.

Just some perspective. I'm going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.
