This week, the Gearbox Randy Pitchford software co -founder put his foot in his mouth, and so you know that Borderlands 4 is approaching. Like Morai Kerry, which occurs every Christmas, Pitchford seems to be every time the new title in a long Borderlands Shooters Borderlands is closer to launching to say what makes everyone crazy. This is a tradition.
Real fans? Are rich fans?
This time Pitchford grabbed the headlines, responding to the fan, saying that Borderlands 4 should not be $ 80, saying, “If you are a true fan, you will find a way to do it.” At first, I asked whether the report on this headlines removed some context that would make the Pitchford's statement more reasonable. But no, here's the whole tweet.
A) Not my call. B) If you are a real fan, you will find a way to do this. In my local gaming store stores was Starflight for Sega Genesis for $ 80 in 1991, when I was only in a high school that worked minimum wage in the ice cream salon at Pisma and I found a way to do it.
Is it true that the largest fans of the franchise will pay more than other customers to get their hands on certain products? Mario Kart World is sold as Hotcakes, despite its $ 80 price, indicates what they will be. If GTA 6 end up being retail sales, according to sustainable rumors, $ 100, it is likely to be the biggest launch of entertainment in history. If people want something bad enough, they are ready to pay more for it.
But you can't appreciate each product with the assumption that this one What people want to pay for an extra fee, especially now at the time when the inflation is accepting the fare and the tariffs will add to the compression.

The founder of the Gearbox Software Randy Pittlford landed in hot water, talking about Borderlands 4.
Rent is too high
A recent study by Ludwig's General Economic Welfare Institute has shown that 60 percent of Americans do not do enough to afford the main life costs. This analysis includes not only rent and food, but also other expenses that are “necessary for well -being, growth and upward mobility”. So the need that is less necessary than food and shelter. Things like Wi-Fi, laptop, work clothes, health care, transport, child care and other basic costs are taken into account by Lisep as a way to go beyond “traditional economic indicators such as GDP and unemployment [which] Tell us that the economy flourishes. “
'Americans work more than if -the, fueled our [country’s] Economic growth, but the advantages of this hard work do not apply in such a way that it supports the ascending mobility for too many medium and low income Americans, “Gin Ludwig said in his statement.
So, when Pitchford says fans can spend $ 80 on the game because his local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $ 80 in 1991, when I was only with a high school that worked with a minimum salary in the ice cream salon at the Pismo. ” The time was about $ 620 (or $ 1220 in 2020).
As a multiplayer shooter, the largest Borderlands 4-it's not other games with full prices. These are free headlines such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, Counter-Strike 2, Overwatch 2 and others. I don't know about “real fans”, but for many players who just want to do something with their friends, $ 80 will be difficult sales.
