Nintendo enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement as news breaks that Borderlands 4 is set to launch on the highly anticipated Switch 2. While many are celebrating this announcement, a shadow of uncertainty looms overhead—especially regarding the game's pricing. Recently, Gearbox's outspoken leader, Randy Pitchford, stirred the pot when he interacted with a concerned fan about the potential cost of the game.
“Randy, this game better not be 80 dollars. Don’t take that risk, a lot of gamers aren’t gonna pay 80 dollars and feed this notion of constant increase of the price tag. You are the CEO, you have some say with the price when it comes to your publisher.”
In true Pitchford fashion, he fired back with a response that turned heads:
“A) Not my call. B) If you’re a real fan, you’ll find a way to make it happen. My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen.”
As fans continue to process this exchange, the question remains: what will the price tag ultimately look like? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure—Borderlands fans are ready to rally for their next adventure.
