It all started when a fan replied to one of Pitchford’s posts, saying that Borderlands 4 “better not be” $80.
But he also shared his opinion on high game prices and said that true fans would still find a way to afford the game.
“If you’re a real fan, you’ll find a way to make it happen,” Pitchford wrote.
