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 removed 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.
