    I didn’t pay anywhere near $80 for Borderlands 1-3+ all the DLC…. So um. No. I’m in no hurry.

    This isn’t all the games but it goes on for like another 2 screens worth for all the DLC…

      I bought the full collection last year for like $50. $20 for the first three and all DLC, and like $30 for the complete Borderlands 3 (I had gotten the other ones so decided to just get the full series).

      Then I actually went and got Wonderlands and had an actual blast playing it.

      Seriously, why do they let him talk? The man is a walking PR disaster.

      Then again, we should all be asking how the hell he’s not in jail for possession of child porn, so I guess this is a pretty minor thing in comparison.

    Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.

    Real fan?

    Bitch please. We’ve put up with your crap for so long and we still play it…

    Get out of here with that horse shit. Get fucked. Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on. At best, I’ll wait for a sale, at worst, I’m never playing your goddamned franchise again because you’ve run it into the ground with enshittification.

        Weinstein? Diddy? Epstein?

        I think the more apt description would be that when you’re got something that makes other people money, then you will be protected. When that ends you’re fair game.

        I also agree that the more money you have the better defence you can get, but I don’t believe laws only apply to the poor. That’s hyperbole.

          So the logic is…

          The laws only apply to the poor except for exceptions where rich are on their way to poor and can be used as examples of the exception .

            I don’t believe that’s what I said, or at least it wasn’t my intention. I was more trying to highlight that wealthy people (which are not in the way to being poor) will be protected by the people that stand to gain from that protection, not simply for being rich.

            I also explicitly said that the justice system does favour the rich, not in a malicious way but more because we have a system that means rich folk can afford more man hours which translates to a better defence.

            I want to be clear I’m not defending rich folk here, just being a pedant I guess.

          Weinstein? Diddy? Epstein?

          All three of those examples got away with it for literal decades.

          Both Weinstein and Diddy were known dangers in their industry.

          They took Epstein out because you know he had compromat on Trump. Best friends.

          Or - the Cosby shit was an open secret. No one cared until Hannibal Buress started pointing it out.

            Literally what I’m saying. They got away with it because they had utility for other people and when they no longer did that’s when they get indicted, cause people stop running cover.

    Listen, I unironically love being woke. Accessibility for impairments? Human rights? Equity? Regulations standing in the way of greed? Overrepresentation of minority demographics? Fuck yes to all of that shit. Hell’s Yeah.

    But the direction of these games have been poor for a lot of reasons. It doesn’t feel woke, really, it feels like they want us to believe they aren’t Handsome Jack’s corporate studio goons like they are.

    Also, let’s not forget the new EULA regarding shift accountsAlso, he made his 'fans" wait while bl3 was only available on the epic store. Fuck this dude, I am done with the franchise.

        Steam customers are out of the loop. We could access the game through epic store, but it’s a separate account, and not everybody has/want one. Hence the wait to release on Steam.

        For small indies it makes sense to publish on the pc epic game store a year earlier to get fundet for simply releasing the game there earlier.
        A lot of smaller indies used that time as a kind of early access and got later super popular on steam, the main pc game store.

        But for a big studio to do something like this is scummy
        They already have a playerbase and a big budget
        I dont even know if payment was involved but there is no other reason i can think of that explains this

    I can barely justify 50€ for a massive game like Baldur’s Gate 3. I’d never pay that much for any other game that is not on this scale. But 80 bucks? The fuck are they thinking?

      They don’t have any dlc lined up yet so not being to sell you empty promises on top of a normal game price is really tugging at Randy’s purse strings.
