We're just whiny bitches in his eyes if we can't afford to play his game 😔

It's like he's challenging people to pirate it out of spite.

reply

nizzleb.bsky.social•2 days ago

Unfortunately, it's not much fun on your own 😔

lebestuff.bsky.social•2 days ago

Am I the only one who reads "you find a way" as a permission to pirate it 🤣? I mean, this is "a way" for this.

Bro doesnt know what inflation is. He'd have to work almost thrice as much to buy the same game today

By "same game" i mean starflight on genesis he mentioned in the screenshot

This strategy did so well with the movie, didn't it?

Well if borderlands 4 is 80 I won't get it.

No base game should EVER cost that much ever

Dude would sell Colonial Marines to you for $100 right now if he could. Randy and "out of touch" go hand in hand.

reply

nizzleb.bsky.social•2 days ago

I would only play the game if you pay me $100 for it.

Man I hate ‘real fan’ nonsense. I don’t care if it’s video games or movies or sports or whatever, it’s just so pointless. Like why should someone possibly care if they meet some arbitrary criteria or not

redvampire.bsky.social•2 days ago

And it's practically always middle aged washed up white guys that pull the "real fan" bullshit with others

reply

nizzleb.bsky.social•2 days ago

Like you can’t be a fan of something if you’re poor 😭

Fake fans will feed their stupid children instead of padding Randy’s bank account

One of my favourites was being told I wasn't a "real fan" of Star Trek because I got enjoyment out of every show.

reply

eebik.xyz•2 days ago

Haha that is wild. The window for 'correct' enjoyment is crazy small for some people.They don't understand how much more freeing it is to just let yourself feel what you feel without creating an elaborate rules system for it

Shit like this is why I haven't bought one Sony gaming object since the PlayStation 2. When the 3 was about to come out, Jack Tretton (I still remember the slugs name) defended its high price by basically going, "Well our fans are loyal and will pay whatever we charge". This is that exact same vibe.

reply

nizzleb.bsky.social•2 days ago

I really don’t know how he kept his job after Colonial Marines

reply

rosegoldenpetal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Neither do I, yet he is still CEO for some forsaken reason.

reply

eshm.bsky.social•2 days ago

I guess he doesn’t want the money of people who aren’t real fans. Does he understand the idea of growing a fanbase? Dickbaggery notwithstanding, he’s a fucking idiot for having this idea in his head.

nizzleb.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep.

Greasy Randy Pitchford selling ice cream is a mental image I could've done without.

reply

mercalibur.bsky.social•2 days ago

Is he getting roasted for it? 😌 He's definitely out of touch. I'm glad to say I've never played his works, and It definitely puts a sour taste on him as a person. Also the fact that when you Wikipedia this man there's a tab alone just for controversy says it all 💀

reply

nizzleb.bsky.social•2 days ago

He’s one of the most unsympathetic persons in gaming

reply

mercalibur.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah I get the feeling looking at a controversy tab about someone says a lot 🤣

reply

emaam64.bsky.social•2 days ago

Genuine question. Why does this franchise have fans in the first place? It looks like a shitty game with GOD-AWFUL writing and a creator that's a piece of shit. What the appeal?

reply

rattikusmaximus.bsky.social•2 days ago

Honestly, the series is great. Randy is just a garbage human and has always been the worst thing about Gearbox.

I honestly have no idea how he's still the CEO tbh.

reply

nizzleb.bsky.social•2 days ago

The game feeds off the fact that there aren't many single-player looter shooters. I think the writing is absolutely cringeworthy but it’s super fun with some friends.
