Randy Pitchford has apologized for a previous remark earlier this week surrounding $80 Borderlands 4 and “real fans.”
Pitchford took to Twitter, responding to a fan who shared around what his comments sound like through a Handsome Jack AI. The exec addressed it, first by thanking the people giving him a chuckle before pulling things back and addressing that it wasn’t his intent before once again swinging around to proclaim Borderlands 4 to be on track to be the best entry ever.
“In seriousness though, nobody likes being taken for granted and it was not my intent. I’m humbled by the love and support everyone has shown the team as we push hard to get this amazing game in your hands. They’re crushing it, and I can’t wait for everyone to play what’s going to be the best Borderlands ever! Regardless of where the price lands, it’s going to be worth it and then some.”
Of course, he is ensuring people know that wherever the price falls, it’s still out of his control, but promises it will be worth whatever price tag Gearbox slaps on it.
Borderlands 4 releases September 12 on the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. A Switch 2 port is also releasing at a later date.
