    Bitchford wishes he could be part of something that was even near a single iota of the same quality of BG3.

    Look, you can charge whatever you want.

    “Is your game worth $80 to average gamers dealing with (gestures broadly at state of world economy)?”

    That is the question every studio executive needs to ask themselves.

    Given the recent trends in AAA-funded projects, for the most part, that answer is “Oh, hell no.”

    I didn’t even buy Borderlands 3 for $60 and there’s no way in hell I’d pay $80 for something similar. I spent the full price of Baldur’s Gate 3 for myself and two of my friends for a total of $180. Make the game worth it and you have my money. If the development cost of games has gone up then prove it and make better games.

      I thought BL3 tanked so I’m pretty surprised they think they can charge this month. Did it review poorly and still sell well??

        It and it’s DLC sold just fine because BL3 is miles above BL2 in gameplay (though yes it’s story and voice acting are painful, 2 hasn’t aged as well as many of us might remember it did in that regard, either)

        Tbh I expect the same thing for this one: better gameplay, worse writing

    Every Corporate asshole: “Give me all your money, you don’t need to eat, sleep, or live. If you don’t, you’re not cool like me!”

    So sick of dropping asshole companies because of idiots constantly pushing this garbage. Oh well.

    “But I was trained in management school to think of people as nothing more than numbers! It’s not my fault!” - corpo piece of shit.

    it’s incredible that pitchford is still allowed to talk. there should be a bot that auto-responds “shut the fuck up” to everything he says, tweets, or even thinks.

    hey I’ll let you price this 80 bucks if you fully refund me for the scam that was borderlands 1. fucking unfinished piece of shit, i can’t believe i played that game for multiple hours hoping it would improve beyond the first.

    and later i learned that i was completely right to quit that shit because the bullshit throwaway story of this “rpg” doesn’t even conclude properly. it literally ends like Geraldo Rivera’s fucking Al Capone vault.

    fuck you pitchford. shut the fuck up and go back to “storing porn for the purposes of researching magic tricks” or whatever. literally never speak again.
