I don't see more than one particularly bad review from journalists from
when it was released, most were glowing to high.
 
In fact for me it had lowered the ridiculously high amount of grinding
for good weapons that 2 had that annoyed the hell out of me to the point
I used a cheat to change the drop rates.  I was just over borderlands
long before that point as there were far too many non-numbered
bordlerlands games by that point.
 

What is going on?  Back to full price for an old game?

An Eli Roth 'Borderlands' movie is coming out in a few weeks from

Ah yes, always raise the price when there's any potential new interest.
I'd bet on the movie being a flop from the way the trailers look, and it
going back down on price shortly after though.

One would hope they know what they are doing better than I do but I find
it hard to believe that anyone who's prepared to pay £50 now would do
that from after watching a film. Have they been living in a cave and
never heard about it?

Might be a case of, at the time of release they were not interested at
all in the game, and/or had a shit machine that could not play it.

The TV show sparks their interest, and now they'll take a chance on the
game since the show introduced them to that world.

I imagine that Interview with a Vampire movie, introduced a lot of
people to Anne Rice and who went on to read the books, only because
they'd been introduced to the world in a low effort way.
