Then they locked characters behind expensive DLC. So I started waiting for the “everything” editions, but then it made sense to just wait for big sales…
And eventually not caring about the franchise.
Its like Crusader Kings or Sims. It’s better than annual releases that don’t really change, but the DLC structure turns people away from the entire game. Even if you wait for a sale, all the “new” DLC stays expensive.
So people put off buying anything till they just don’t care.
Yep. I remember I bought the GOTY edition of the first for $5 during a Steam Sale on a whim. Meanwhile, BL4 is $130 for the “Super Deluxe Editon” to get all the DLC. Even the current 30% off sale brings it to $90.99. It’s insane. Probably one doomed to remain on my wishlist for many years.
I’d rather just replay BL2 with a new character type.

I feel you.
1 was fun, 2 was AMAZING, 3 was a disappointment, and 4, I finished the story and haven’t really touched it since.
