I feel it is perhaps time to cease letting Gearbox head Randy Pitchford tweet about his personal video games. Simply final month, he accidentally shared the truth that Borderlands 4 was getting an sooner than anticipated launch date forward of an official announcement; he put that one all the way down to time zones. This time his overly keen angle in direction of posting hasn’t revealed any details about Borderlands 4 he wasn’t meant to, however it’s one thing that would perhaps, simply doubtlessly, be considered as ever-so-slightly out of contact.
Final week, when one other Twitter consumer expressed concern over the upcoming shooter doubtlessly being $80 (a value level hasn’t been set simply but), Pitchford first famous that this isn’t his name. To be truthful to him, I think about this’ll come all the way down to different individuals at Gearbox in addition to Borderlands’ writer 2K.
Then, Pitchford thought he’d observe it up with this little nugget: “When you’re an actual fan, you’ll discover a solution to make it occur. My native sport retailer had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 once I was simply out of highschool working minimal wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Seaside and I discovered a solution to make it occur.”
Now, this is the factor. For an enormous portion of individuals, even $60 is unthinkable for a sport buy, not to mention $80. Second of all, have you ever seen the economic system just lately Randy! It is not nice! The Borderlands collection is greater than 15 years outdated, lots of your viewers will probably be common individuals with jobs struggling to make ends meet. Not precisely certain you thought by way of this one all that a lot, buddy.
Once more, no concept if Borderlands 4 will probably be $80 or not, at a current PAX East panel (through IGN) Pitchford even stated he would not know the way a lot it will be. I simply assume we may maybe take somewhat extra tact, particularly seeing as we do not know whether or not $80 video games will work or not but.
