Borderlands 4’s Gonna Cost Ya

Borderlands+4

Nintendo set a precedent for this. And of course, 2K is warming you up with that massive GTA price hike that’s just around the corner. How so? Well, through none other than Borderlands 4 of course. Randy Pitchford had this to say on the matter. You can see that quote here.

Of course, this might not happen and a lot of people are going to be pointing fingers at Nintendo. I do, however, believe that GTA will be the game that other games will probably follow. I mean, in terms of the reasons they’re pretty valid why Borderlands 4 would increase its cost. The production of the game has indeed cost more. But still, for those that just want to enjoy video games without worrying what the price will be beforehand. It’s a bit of a nightmare.

Even still, I am really liking the direction that Borderlands 4 has gone in. Those Destiny vibes might just be enough to get you to part with your money, not to add, there is going to be a stack full of content and potentially end-game to this that they’ve not shown us yet either.

    Hopefully that end-game content will be worth waiting for. I have to say though, still interested to see if this will effect the games sales performance if they do raise the price of it. Interesting times ahead.
