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.

Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.
If you're a real fan, Randy, you find a way not to fuck up the franchise, but so far after Borderlands 2 you managed to deliver us disappointment after disappointment. So fuck off, I'll pirate 4 to play it for 3 to 4 hours after which I'll delete is because it sucks as expected. If I manage to reach 40 hours of gameplay, which is 2 euros per hour, I'll buy your game. But we both know this isn't going to happen, right Randy?
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.
Yarrow. Matey. Captains orders are to take to the high seas!!!!!
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?

I got bored with Borderlands 3 in one hour. Copy pasta gameplay and I’m tired of the art style and humor. I only paid a fiver but I wish I had bought a burger instead.

I agree, but when you wouldn't let Aspyr do a Linux port for BL3, I stopped being a "real fan".
Arrrrrr!
I can make it happen during a Steam summer sale 4 years later. Borderlands 3 wasn't that great when you compare it to 1 and 2. I can wait.
Stop buying Gearbox slop. Jesus fucking christ people. Why are they still getting a free pass for being objectively shitty developers?
Tbh, most AAA games are ass nowadays
I've found a way to play every Borderlands game, 2 is my fave, and not pay more than 12 usd, for the 3rd one which I didn't even get halfway through 'cause it's boring AF - I love Steam sales and don't have FOMO
Just started expedition 33. Omg. So so good!
Point is... I'll play something else.

I got Borderlands 3 free on Epic Games, and it still sit there not being played. Guess it's time to leave this franchise for good.
Shut up. Dingus.
Well, new Doom is 90€ I aint buying that garbage. 80+ € or bucks for a AAA always online slop is just a NO.
Weeps in Canadian
I’ve been paying $80 the whole time! Now I have to pay even more!
Either way I won’t be buying Borderlands 4 for like $100 I can tell you that much.
Give us guaranteed emploment of the staff that built it, and you get guaranteed pre orders?

I was excited for borderlands. Now I'll wait for them to make it 70% off
ugh. i wont even pirate it. gross
mm yes gatekeeping and money shaming, that'll convince them.
Lol Randy actively taking the winds out of his own sails.
I hope he rots in piss.
More like 80 plus gamers not supporting the NintenoDONT greed trend.
Borderlands 3 was the first game I didnt even bother finishing, just super boring lol
It's like they don't understand how piracy works.
I'm a huge borderlands fan. I will not be buying this for $80 lol.
That's what he thinks.
