The video game industry is changed and not precisely better for the consumer. We knew that many companies were waiting for the alleged 100 dollars of GTA 6 to raise their prices, but finally it was Nintendo who made the jump with one of its most popular cases: Mario Kart World. Now players look at the prices and refuse to pay 80-90 dollars.
It is precisely a cited to Nintendo by Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, on Twitter that has unleashed the controversy. A Borderlands 4 fan supplicates the director that the new delivery of the franchise does not cost 80 dollars. “Do not risk, many players are not going to pay $ 80 or feed the idea of the constant price increase.” He begs him to do something from his position.
Pitchford's response has heated the atmosphere both in the comments of the publication and Reddit and other forums. His position is that if you are an authentic Borderlands fan, then you will find a way to earn the money and pay what they ask for the game. And exemplifies his arguments with Starflight for Sega Genesis. The publication has thousands of answers and cited, and a good number is to complain about their words.
The community has not felt this answer well. Beyond inflation and other details that are lost in their example, it seems that many fans are not willing to pay 80 dollars for Borderlands 4 And more “knowing that you will make several season passes that will cost another $ 100 and you will probably also sell weapons designs,” Add @synthpotato.
A) It is not my decision. B) If you are a real fan, you will find a way to make it come true. My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $ 80 in 1991, when I had just left the high school and worked for the minimum wage in an ice cream shop in Beach Pism, and I found a way to make it come true.
Other fans add: “insinuate that people are not a real fan if they do not pay $ 80 for the game sounds like Reddit user logic. Come on, man!” And “if your intention was to inspire people to buy this game with that cowardly comment that you just did, I regret to inform you that the opposite effect will now occur.” On the other hand, In Reddit there is a similar feelingalthough some are willing to pay 80 dollars … provided that the game is up to the price.
What Borderlands 4 80 dollars are launched and then DLCS and seasonal passes are included, it would not be a surprise for the franchise. But that the CEO of Gearbox suggests that only those who pay (or manage to pay) what they are asked for the game are authentic fans is, without a doubt, a commentary discouraged at least in the current context. And from there all the indignation of the community arises.
