Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford is facing backlash after saying that “real fans” would pay $80 for Borderlands 4 if that’s how much it costs.

    I got Borderlands 3 for free as part of the EPIC free games initiative.

      I returned 3, so I am not a real fan. Great way to save money on games.

    After BL3, I probably won’t buy BL4 at all.

      Three was tough, I mean it was fun, but I don’t think I could give you a synopsis that wasn’t about the game modes.

      I still remember deciding that Handsome Jack had to die from 2.

    I’ll get it when it’s at least 50% off and includes all the DLCs. Or better yet, through a humble sale where I can give more money to charities.

    I think I have only paid full price for Borderlands 2 for PS4 when I bought the console. Every other game in the franchise is in my library either for free or deeeeeeeeeeply discounted.

    The “real fans” were already gonna buy it, all this guy did is ensure anyone else will pass on it. Marketing 101
