I didn’t pay anywhere near $80 for Borderlands 1-3+ all the DLC…. So um. No. I’m in no hurry.
This isn’t all the games but it goes on for like another 2 screens worth for all the DLC…
I bought the full collection last year for like $50. $20 for the first three and all DLC, and like $30 for the complete Borderlands 3 (I had gotten the other ones so decided to just get the full series).
Then I actually went and got Wonderlands and had an actual blast playing it.
Find a way?
Piracy is a way. Thanks for the tip.
Fuck you, I’m not paying $80 for a game so an executive can get a new Porsche.
Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.
I will illegally download an illegal version of the game, thanks bye
This is such a scummy statement I want BL4 less now. Let him eat cake.
Aw, he’s telling people to pirate it. What a thoughtful guy.
You wouldn’t download a shit to give.
That’s legitimately how I read what he was saying at first.
I knew Randy would fuck up the game somehow.
Seriously, why do they let him talk? The man is a walking PR disaster.
Then again, we should all be asking how the hell he’s not in jail for possession of child porn, so I guess this is a pretty minor thing in comparison.

Unfortunately, the real appeal of the Borderlands series is multiplayer. The games are alright in single player mode, but multiplayer is where it really shines. And cracked copies likely won’t work with multiplayer, because they use game servers for matchmaking.
IIRC all of the past ones have worked over LAN, including over a private VPN if you so desire. I definitely played pirated copies of 1 and 2 with my mates. I had no real desire to get very deep into 3 because the campaign storyline was so stupid, but I don’t doubt you could.
It’s only online matchmaking with randos that you’ll be blocked from, which if you ask me is not really that much of a detriment.
Theseus’ ship? Borderlands 4 is just the projectfile of borderlands 2 with every part replaced? 😱
Would be better than 3
Real fan?
Bitch please. We’ve put up with your crap for so long and we still play it…
Get out of here with that horse shit. Get fucked. Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on. At best, I’ll wait for a sale, at worst, I’m never playing your goddamned franchise again because you’ve run it into the ground with enshittification.
Just started expedition 33. Omg. So so good!
Point is… I’ll play something else.
Listen here, just wait for Menace to release (By Overhype studios) now that’s a proper turn-based game
Like waiting 6 months for them to panic over low sales and put on 50% sale?
Maybe, or maybe I’ll wait for the ultimate edition with all dlc to hit $40
When $40 is half price, I will generally pass as if it were $80. There is a glut of amazing content out there for $40 or less, and much of it is truly inspired indie work. When your half-price game is competing with great full-price indie titles, I will continue to ignore your overpriced corporate muck.
I mean 50% off and still being $40 still sounds like a terrible deal
Right? I didn’t realize how disinterested I was in Borderlands until I read that.
Borderlands 3 is in a free giveaway after a year or so on Epic Games. The sales must be abysmal to give a flagship franchise away for free, because of Randy being a bitch and insist exclusive is good. This will hopefully bite them back like last time.
I honestly think it will sell a lot because most gamers won’t be able to control themselves.
What does a 12 year old care about $80? They ain’t spending that. Their parents are.
Or perhaps even find it to be worth the price.
Or get it second-hand off G2A or CDKeys.
I’m never paying $80 for a video game.
piracy is preferable over buying a key off of greymarket sites like this tbh
I wouldn’t advise using those services, myself. Lots of sketchy stuff. Legit copies of digital games go on sale often enough.
I got Borderlands 3 about a year after release for less than 5€, I can wait.
Guess I’m not a real fan. Fuck you Randy. He’s such a cunt.
While working on Borderlands 3, the team was severely underpaid. People started quitting, so Randy promised them an “unprecedented company profit-sharing bonus model.” That never got paid—he blamed “higher-than-anticipated development costs and sales not meeting projections.” Borderlands 3 went GOTY, a few dozens millions copies sold. Randy secured a $12M executive bonus for himself. When staff expressed dissatisfaction, Pitchford told them they were free to quit. This was in the middle of the pandemic, and the job market was absolute crap.
I’ve not heard a single good thing about him. He’s just a toolbag through and through.
If anyone deserves for his workers to get unionized, it’s this asshole
Remember how Randy Pitchford funneled money that was supposed to go to Aliens: Colonial Marines into Borderlands 2 (and Duke Nukem Forever lol)
How the fuck do you leave a USB stick full of child abuse material at a fucking Medieval Times and get away with it?
Laws only apply to us poors.
Weinstein? Diddy? Epstein?
I think the more apt description would be that when you’re got something that makes other people money, then you will be protected. When that ends you’re fair game.
I also agree that the more money you have the better defence you can get, but I don’t believe laws only apply to the poor. That’s hyperbole.
So the logic is…
The laws only apply to the poor except for exceptions where rich are on their way to poor and can be used as examples of the exception .
I don’t believe that’s what I said, or at least it wasn’t my intention. I was more trying to highlight that wealthy people (which are not in the way to being poor) will be protected by the people that stand to gain from that protection, not simply for being rich.
I also explicitly said that the justice system does favour the rich, not in a malicious way but more because we have a system that means rich folk can afford more man hours which translates to a better defence.
I want to be clear I’m not defending rich folk here, just being a pedant I guess.
Ah yeah we are all pedants here and such while I understand and mostly agree with your comment I now must include.
Uhh, actually we don’t have a justice system, we have a legal system.
Haha how dare you out pedant me.
Weinstein? Diddy? Epstein?
All three of those examples got away with it for literal decades.
Both Weinstein and Diddy were known dangers in their industry.
They took Epstein out because you know he had compromat on Trump. Best friends.
Or - the Cosby shit was an open secret. No one cared until Hannibal Buress started pointing it out.
All three of those examples got away with it for literal decades.
Literally what I’m saying. They got away with it because they had utility for other people and when they no longer did that’s when they get indicted, cause people stop running cover.
Randy pitchford?
THAT Randy Pitchford? The Randy Pitchford that, because he loves magic tricks, downloaded himself some squirt porn (sfw youtube link to moistcritical) on the same thumb drive as company secrets, and then left it at a Medieval Times? The same Randy that grabbed the Claptrap VA by the junk because he was tired of voicing Claptrap for free and had the audacity to ask to be paid so Pitchford tried to intimidate him? The same Randy Pitchford that somehow “lost” millions dollars of Segas money causing Colonial marines to bomb so that they could fund Borderlands 2 and Duke Nukem Forever He’s also not above putting journalists who bad mouth him in his games as petty revenge.
Fuck that guy. Fuck anything he says.
Holy shit, I knew about the “magic trick” girl and thought he was a quirky funny man, but assaulting an artist to force them to work for free? What a fucking asshole
If I recall the feud correctly, Eddings previously worked on Claptrap as a favor for free (or next to it). As far as the back and forth on Twitter indicates, when he said he wanted “Id like to be paid this time”, Pitchford initially pushed back, and then offered “2x union rates” (whether Pitchford actually offered that or said it on twitter afterward to garner sympathy we may never know), but Eddings refused the offer since gearbox was (at the time) about to make its 3rd lootershooter in a monsterously successful chain and he was one of the most prominent side characters. Thats what triggered Pitchford to attempt to intimidate him in front of a hotel elevator.
Bro is a blight on Gearbox. And no one is sure how or why the board hasn’t gotten rid of him.
No, no, you don’t understand, the girl was doing a magic trick! He only consumed that just barely legal content with professional interest in mind.
I’m not gonna sit and tell a man he can’t have a kink preference in his own home on his own time.
But Jesus fuck on the company thumb drive? Bro is a ceo and cant afford a “personal folder” usb. Here $12 for a 128Gb one on Amazon is not uncommon And then to be so distracted he forgot it.
You’ve missed the part where that was actually something he said. Who cares about what the idiot’s exact kink, he had to save his honour telling people it wasn’t “really” porn.
I hear he also collected child porn, citation needed.
