- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 8 hours ago:
I don’t think I’m shilling for everything… I’ve been sailing the seas for as long as I can remember… I just don’t understand why people keep getting surprised at games increasing in price - have you guys forgotten how capitalism works?
Like do you go to your local grocery store and see that cheese has yet again shrunk in size, and increased in price, and then think “this’ll never happen to my precious videogames”?

I mean. Of course vidya games’ gonna get hit with inflation from time to time… just like every other product… every link in the chain, from producer to consumer needs to have an ever growing increase in profit for capitalism to work

I don’t know, you don’t know, no one knows… at least not for certain. Thants my point. If I wanted to try my luck with being an oracle, I’d play the lottery ;-)
What I’m challenging is to just plainly saying “nope well never need anymore computational power in our device”…

My point was that we cannot predict the future, saying something like;
we are “there” with processing power
Will be as incorrect as
640Kb should be enough for anybody
It’s just impossible to predict, not only how we will utilize our tools, or what the consumer wants in 10 years or so
Besides, narrowing the scope of the device down to “just” gaming is a limited viewpoint.
