I was excited for borderlands. Now I'll wait for them to make it 70% off

mm yes gatekeeping and money shaming, that'll convince them.

That's what he thinks.

I will never buy the game out of spite

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

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.

The real answer should've been "the fuck you want, you're willing to pay the same for a Switch game.."

I don't condone this, but we already had $60 games 10 years ago. If you simply add inflation you'd be at $81 today. That doesn't even take into account that modern games also have larger budgets compared to back then.

Video games really are a cheap hobby comparatively speaking. I still wait for sales of course :)

Games have been surprisingly inflation resistant. I paid $70 for Playstation games in the 90s.
