I remember edible crows flying around here for "Duke Nukem Forever" and
its inevitable drop to the low, low price of $4.99.

I expect similar here (75% off). Only a first-class idiot would pay list
for this game. Even the threat of empty lobbies doesn't matter, because
if the lobbies are empty by the time the lower price-points come around,
the game was an abject failure in the first place. Borderlands co-op is
not the same hot market as competitive FPS. It's a slow burn as opposed
to a flash-in-the-pan.

This is marketing for morons 101. You need a firm base of players and a
long tail. We should all point to the moron and laugh at him, but he has
a lot of money so the joke is on us.
