Borderlands 4 Patch Due Out Today, PC Performance 'Our Top Priority,' Gearbox Says

But I already started making my own game engine!

I thought this was a “premium” game. Why should they optimize for the poors? /s

…but I thought performance was fine, why would something fine be their top priority? Pitchford couldn’t possibly have been talking out of his ass, could he?

What now it’s a priority?
What about Pitchfords snobbish comments? Did their bottom line hurt?

I just spent 5000€ on a new rig to join the premium gearbox gamer society and now this?

Pitchford is the biggest enemy of Borderlands, why can’t he just shut the fuck up

Eh, I don’t think the series would be as bad if it didn’t have his coke-addled ass dictating which direction it should go.

Will the update send us 5090s?

It’s so funny that this was their mindset when it doesn’t run well on my PC which cost close to $2,000.

Randy is so out of touch he thinks people with $2,000 available in discretionary spend are “the poors”.

Most people I know who are keen on the game are completely unaware of any of the the discourse surrounding it. It was probably minimal.

That means they’re removing Denuvo & Symbiote right? Right???

Of course not. It’ll be mandatory DLSS and fake frame generation because that the future of graphics and game development.

what decisions has he been responsible for?

The movie.

Oh I forgot there was a movie

There is no movie in Ba Sing Se

I’ll check it out when it’s under $5. At this rate, maybe next year’s winter sale? I have a rig that is reportedly already able to play it but I don’t pay full price, ever. Even games I really want, and this ain’t it.

All he had to say was “we are working on it, in the meantime, use some frame gen, or bump your res down. Our bad”. But no, he had to be a dick about it.

Something I’ve kinda come to accept about Gearbox is that Pitchford is an ass and sometimes they farm out products when they shouldn’t (ACM bring the biggest example), but most of the devs actually working on the games really do care about the product and want it to be good.

I think they do think that though. Companies seem to have realized they can make more money with less sales by pricing the lowest bidding consumer group out of the market.
