'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'

    Can we please standardize a pc parts price point? (Not sure I’m saying this right)

    Like, “it doesn’t matter where technology is, $600 gets you ‘low’, &1000 gets you ‘high’, and $2000 gets you ‘ultra’.”

        Yeah so, either the prices need to come down, or devs optimize for those price points. Or both. Because two thousand dollars for a gpu is ridiculous.

          When everyone stops chasing cryptocoin and AI the prices will come down.

          As long as people will pay 2k for a video card, they’ll charge 2k for a video card :(

          The market doesn’t discern between gamers, cryptobros, and corporations.

          I thought we were about to have a break when everything went ASIC, but that just didn’t last.
