"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 (www.gamesradar.com)

I'd gladly pay 80 bucks for games, Ive paid way more than that in 40K, Warmahordes and Advanced Squad Leader.

If digital games would give me the same kind of "ownership", like full access to the code and free reign to modify the rules sets as well as spreading those changes to friends and strangers I wouldn't hesitate to spend similar amounts. However digital games, even physical on disks, has too many limitations as riders for that price to be motivated

I wish we lived in a world close to that one, and maybe someday we'll get there. Guilty Gear Strive's source code just got leaked in its entirety, so complete that it can just be loaded as is into the Unreal editor, and a lot of people see this as a bad thing rather than the game ascending to immortality.
