I guess if you're a wagie at Gearbox, it doesn't matter much in the end because at best you could maybe hope for some meager bonus if the game sells really, really well. It's not like the average employee is getting royalties or profit share from the game's performance.

So does that mean steam if offering refunds past the 2 hour mark?

Yeah it was insane like 10 years ago and it was stupid then too. But now? If you buy a UE5 game even within a week of launch, you are a threat to yourself, those around you, and society at large and you should be committed to a mental health institution immediately. It might not be ethical to euthanize you, but your irrational and self-destructive tendencies make you unfit for civilized living.

You're basically spending more money for a worse product literally 100% of the time. There's been so many games that have released over the years that unless you've been playing video games 24/7, surely there are other games to be playing, that are in a better state and cost less money than whatever the newest pile of dogshit UE5 game is coming out. Especially for Borderlands of all things which is basically the TV dinner of video games franchises.

there is no reason. absolutely no fucking reason, that borderlands 4 should be as resource demanding as it is.

there's no reason that a game looking like this, even on ultra mode at 1440p, can only be run at above 60 fps on like 4 video cards

it has to be one of the worst optimized games of all time

I don't really understand why anyone on /v/ even cares about Borderlands 4. I saw some footage before it came out and one of the main characters was some generic black bitch with the standard dreadlocks swept to the side haircut.

I'm not far into Wonderlands but it performs similarly to 3 without the stuttering that 3 has which is to say pretty good.
