Publisher 2K Games and parent company Take-Two have so-far remained vague on whether they will go to $80, and Randy Pitchford has insisted the decision is out of his control. But, responding to one concerned fan on social media, Pitchford set the cat among the pigeons by saying that if you're a "real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen."

"Randy, this game better not be 80 dollars. Don't take that risk, a lot of gamers aren't gonna pay 80 dollars and feed this notion of constant increase of the price tag. You are the CEO, you have some say with the price when it comes to your publisher."

"A) Not my call. B) 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"

Randy is a gem. Also, making a forum thread on mobile sucks. Not Gaf related, just a general experience.

That is a nice way to encourage people to not buy your game at launch.
I'll just wait half a year, and it will be on sale at half price.
 
A: Not a fan
B: Fuck Borderlands, it has not been good in a decade
C: Only 1-2 games could EVER get FULL MSRP out of me and it is GTA6 and not even sure what else
 
Today I Learned 'set the cat among the pigeons'. Ok

Nothing controversial about this. Its not his call and he calls for die hard gamers to not cry because if they were indeed die hard fans, they will kill the cat to free any pigeons.

I genuinely believe 80$, outside of a few select games, will drastically hurt sales. And Borderlands 4 is definitely not one of those games

Why would you even say something like that? You really think gamers are going to hear that kind of argument and be like "yeah he has a good point, I guess I will buy his game for $80 after all"?

Seems like a great way to turn the internet against you.
 
The best upside BL4 has going for it is that Bungie is currently shitting their pants.
BL3 had good gameplay but I couldn't bring myself to ever play it twice with that god awful writing, and it was unavoidable.
 
With DLC it'll cost $120+. If it's good then maybe if it isn't then wait for sale. If it's bad then don't buy at all and replay BL1 or BL2.

But with the recent root access EULA maybe don't play at all.
 
I own all of the borderlands games. I enjoy the borderlands games. Except for 3. That one was bad. The last trailer piqued my interest. Randy just killed that interest. Wake me up with the ultra gold box bullshit edition is $15 on cdkeys.
 
I'm a real fan, I got platinum trophy on almost every Borderlands game to date. I still play BL3 couch co-op splitscreen with my daughter weekly and BL4 is my most anticipated game.

No, I won't be paying $80 for it.

I have truck payments, rent, 3 kids to pay for, insurance, gas, food... it goes on and on.

No I won't be finding a way and no I will not be buying it at $80.

I'll pick up the $30 ultimate edition 2 years from now if you're lucky and nothing else is occupying me at that time.

You guys need ME more than I need YOU and you seem to forget that.
