CEO of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, can’t stop taking big losses whenever he opens his big mouth. PC gamers are furious after hearing that the greedy CEO decided to spout some nonsense about “real fans doing anything to buy Borderlands 4, even if overpriced”. The claims is nothing but outrageous, especially after the ongoing controversy of all Borderlands titles being used primarily as spyware tools with some terrible DRM practices. If you bought a Borderlands game, guess what, you actually don’t own it anymore since you have to be tied to their EULA.
Randy is stretching the gum
And like every normal chewing game, if you stretch it too much it will break. The trust of Borderlands fans is through the floor with this reveal, the mask of Gearbox has definitely fallen from their faces, and they every bit as scummy as 2K is. Sure, some people will buy Borderlands 4 since its the new entry, but was Borderlands 3 actually a good game? Its quite divisive actually. Things that over extend are never good, and the gaming industry is actually suffering from sequelitis and severe derivation. There’s barely any original triple A title out there.
The industry yearns to go back to those times of experimentation and true risk, but investors think that this is the wrong way, because that can harm their finance roleplay. Art is pretty much dying as we know it in the triple A sphere, and only the indie space is maintaining the quality of games as they should be. With blatant overpricing, and products getting objectively worse in every aspect, there’s no need to enter this “new” generation of gaming, there’s nothing new really.
There’s tons of old titles that still hold up really well today, and if you consider yourself a serious gamer, you will actually try to clear all of them first. Be wary tho, since that task is pretty much impossible due to the vast amount of quality titles from the past.
