So when is this game gonna be 60-80% off?

[Fearless ＜I°_°I＞]

Still waiting to buy it

No one knows, that's 2K's choice as the publisher. Such a large discount usually comes at least a year after release for most games, that said based on current playerbase numbers I doubt they will discount it lower than 50%.

Maybe around Christmas for 60% 80 won’t be for a long while.

You doubt? Bl3 got a 80% discount. How does player base affect it? If nobody plays this game because they think its not worth more than 20$ then they will make discounts... thats the whole point of it

A YEAR after release, as already pointed out... BL3 comparatively sold a lot better than Wonderlands has.

Playerbase = sales. People not playing the game because of all the issues they have with it, causes word to spread, and thus why should ANYONE buy the game in the first place? This is beyond obvious. They can discount, but they also need to recoup investment and profit, so they need to balance between the two, and thus why they likely won't discount that low. It's business strategy, semantics don't matter to 2K.

You are so wrong tho, people that really wanted to play the game wouldve already bought it, and with the trash reviews people wont buy it for ATLEAST 50% off... they wont recoup ♥♥♥♥ if the game is bad ad nobody buys it cause its still 80$ CAD....


And as i said, i asked when i never said next sale will be 60+% off, so idk why you're saying "atleast a year" like you think i expect this to be next week

Not really people who usually get things at launch is more to do with fear of missing out. Anyone who games long enough knows you don’t need to do that and wait for a price your willing to pay. That said as the other person mentioned the player base is falling so 60 percent by December seems possible.

Yep exactly what was my point, if the player base is falling and theres no big discount obviously it wont be revived unless theres a big update but they seem like they dont really care since its not a main BL game, but i do want the game one day at a lower price, i paid 150 for bl3 and then they asked for more money with season pass 2 lol...

[Bankai9212]

If the big update doesn’t address the lack of endgame it won’t tip the scales much(given the last 3 dlc It’s obviously more chaos chambers). It’ll get a huge discount at some point just need to wait.

Again do you think 2K care about semantics? I don't need to go into a long-winded breakdown of how greedy 2K are, there are already thousands of hours worth of videos and tens of thousands of discussion posts complaining about them. There is no reason to not assume if they do discount they will push their luck as much as possible.

I already answered that, no one knows that is 2K's choice and that this usually happens a year after release. I never assumed anything about what you said, you brought up BL3 for some arbitrary reason and I pointed out that it coincides perfectly with what I have already said...

60-80% off? 3+ years, easy. Its been 2.5 years after BL3's release, and it has not had any discount like that yet.

BL3 has been discounted in that range.

https://steamdb.info/app/397540/

Steamdb is useful for checking price history.

It's -67% a year after release, -75% 2 years after release and -80% 2 years and 5 moinths after release. Now it always goes on sale for -80%

I guess I remembered that wrong, in terms of when the game got -80%, but it has happened already, and the 3 year anniversary isn't until next month. Keep in mind the Epic Exclusivity. The Steam release date for the game is technically incorrect.

Man you guys are so wrong lmao learn to check up facts, BL3 is on constant 80% off and had a 50% sale on release on steam the first day it came out and about half a year later it was 60% then 67%.

So yeah you're wrong

[AvatarOfWar]

Then theres a problem with the Wishlist and email notifications, because I have looked at every single sale since I bought this game back near release. Package deals and/or DLC never below 33% off.
*Edit: and the only time anyting in the Borderlands franchise EVER exceeded 75% off was when the games went on deep discount as a way to advertise and hype the almost-released next title (ie BL1, BL2).
