It looks like video game pricing is heating up this year, with Borderlands 4 making waves before its launch on September 12. Early speculation had fans concerned that the game would break the $80 barrier, especially after controversial remarks from Gearbox’s founder, Randy Pitchford.
When a fan expressed worries about the potential price hike, Pitchford fired back on Twitter, suggesting that true enthusiasts would go out of their way to support their favorite games. This caused a stir among budget-conscious players, but fortunately, pre-orders have revealed a more manageable price tag of $69.99 for the standard edition.
