[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 142 points 1 year ago (6 children) 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 permalink fedilink source hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kaldo@fedia.io 25 points 1 year ago (1 child) I mean 50% off and still being $40 still sounds like a terrible deal permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Graphy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago Right? I didn’t realize how disinterested I was in Borderlands until I read that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world [S] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children) I honestly think it will sell a lot because most gamers won't be able to control themselves. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago What does a 12 year old care about $80?
