I got the first 2 free with GwG (RIP) and the 3rd for $12 on sale.

Guess I‘m not a real fan.

If they still like the series past the second, then its lack of taste tax.

Careful what you wish for, Randy. 🏴‍☠️

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.

What is 80$ in 1991 worth today? calculateme says 190$ adjusted for inflation (in 2025).

What about the minimum wage? dol.gov says $4.25, or $10.08 adjusted for inflation. Since 2009 it's $7.25.

7.25/10.08 = 0,72 or 10.08/7.25 = ~1,40

80/60 = 1.33

So we have a decrease in minimum wage by 30%, but an increase of product price by 30%.

Is this correct? Does that make it 60% more expensive than his personal analogy from 1991?

Man, the two-sided percent reference point is confusing.

Borderlands 3 felt like getting mugged by Randy Pitchford for 20 hours. I'm not a real fan.

Good job Nintendo, you opened the $80 floodgate

Yanno, I have always loved borderlands, but randy pitchford is an absolute fucking tool.

I even bought one of the diamond editions that came with a physical damn loot crate and tons of goodies with BL3, so it's not like I'm not a fan. But still, how fucking stupid do you have to be to say it like this? What a stupid jackass.

guess i’m not a real fan then. will wait for it to be 70% off and be a real fan for less. thanks!

I've never even paid full price for a game since it went to $70.

Hope y'all enjoy the video game crash of 2026

Whatever. I'll do what any good PC gamer does and buy if it goes on sale for a 90% discount in a decade. Or I just won't buy it because I'll be too busy repairing my shanty/house boat. We'll see how things shake out

Fuck off Randy, you creepy, pedo fucking hack.

We'll just wait for your dumb ass to leave another flash drive in another bathroom you're getting a BJ from one of your marks in, again.

And hey Randy, if you can get all the media headlines to include the word 'exonerated' in the headlines which describe your completely confidential settlement reached outside of a courtroom, I can make shit up too.

Fuck this fucking hack.

People like this guy are completely fucking deluded.

🏴‍☠️ it is then.

No way this kind of disconnected-from-the-users attitude will backfire. This game is sure to be a great experience! /s

I'm not a real fan.

Guess I'm not a real fan then.

Fuck Randy Pitchford.

Yarrrr this be very true, if ye be a real fan and really want te play somethin then you'll make it happen

The Borderlands franchise is really past its prime at this point, anyway. I've got absolutely no issue skipping this one. Might pick it up when it's on sale for $10 in a few years. The franchise really peaked with BL2; it's been down hill since.

I don't know about you all, but I'm looking forward to checking out all the games I've missed in the past 20 years.

Does Randy even realize how much the industry's landscape has changed ?

First of all you're in competition with your older games. BDL1 and 2 had soul and were good. BDL 3 is still ok (no idea about the pre-sequel but I heard it was the beginning of the downwards trend). Not to mention the literal hundreds (even thousands for some of us) of other good games sitting in our libraries. And the indie bangers consistently proving that we don't need to pay 80$ and download a 200 Go day one patch to enjoy the medium in 2025. I hope this bankrupts Gearbox at this point.

I refuse to pay $80 for a game and Borderlands fell off after the second one, so good luck with that. $70 was also a bridge too far for 99% of games (I made the exception for gems like Elden Ring).

Lol. I wasn't going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I'm not paying for gearbox games ever again.

That creepy dude is still at Gearbox?

Good thing I’m not a real fan.

You know, I'm not a real fan. I don't want to pay even more for this expensive games, I'm certainly not going to for Borderlands.

"If you don't like the price hike, that's a you problem."

If it's even a game good, as a patient game, I can wait a year or more when it's $30. More AAA titles than ever are overpriced garbage anyway.

Free marketing for a game you would have prolly missed

The way is piracy

If you wanted me to be a fan, you'd find a way to make it cost less.

I don't know how Randy manages it.

There's so much competition these days, yet somehow his crack team of developers manage to keep him at number one in the list of "Biggest Cunts in Gaming".

It's honestly impressive. I had no intention of buying this because I think his games are all wank, but fuck him anyway.

If you are a real Chief you will make it cheaper.

The last two weren't even worth $60, man. Make games worth $80 before pricing them that high.

Did they fix borderlands 3 yet? It came on game pass and it turns out it's impossible to play for more than 15 minutes without resetting the game and doing it from the last checkpoint. I won't be playing 4 until I complete 3, and I won't be completing 3 until it's fixed.
