Saying all of that, what a stupid thing to say. It wouldn't have been
much worse if he had just said, it's only $80 what are you moaning
about. I spent more than that on a burger yesterday. Border Lands 4 is
not GTA 6.

Neither is GTA 6. I think GTA 6 is gawn flop. Could, as always, be wrong.

I've never been a big fan of GTA so my impression is mostly based on

because a trailer had been released.

No data plan, cause who the fuck wants to use the internet on a 1.5"x1"
screen?

It's not the internet that makes them stupid, it's social media and

I still use a flip-phone.  Old school flip-phone.

My work pretty much requires a semi-recent smart phone.  Have to use MS Authenticator to sign into everything.  I could make them buy me a fido token instead, but from assisting the 2 people behind the times of the hundreds I support, it's a real pain.
