R300, not bad. Shame I won't be able to play now. Probably play it next month.

With a requirement for an 8-core CPU at a minimum, plenty of Steam users are going to be left out by Borderlands 4's system requirements.

Why do developers do that. That's 50% less profit.

Maybe because they are using the latest gaming engine and can't afford to stay in the past?
Its UE5. Plenty UE5 games to go around. None of them require 8 core CPU's.
You can play Stellar Blade as example, also UE5, right now with High settings on 5+ year old midrange hardware no problem. Its optimization is, well, stellar.
Then you get other devs that simply do not give a ****. Consoles do not use 8 cores. They just simply do not care about their PC players enough to tweak it properly.
B4 has 2 DRM's, one of which rootkit. Look at the Borderlands Steam reviews. If you did not know, that happened recently.

To further explain the negative Steam reviews, this is what you consent to when pressing play in Take-Two/2K games -

Ok, screw 50% more profits over delivering a game that is super duper but 50% of gamers won't be able to play.

Microsoft is doing that with Windows 11 and doesn't seem to be concerned as well.

Is Bioshock 4 finally happening??
No official release date has been announced just yet for BioShock 4, and we're still awaiting on update on when we might expect the game to arrive, but we do know it's still currently in the works.
In a LinkedIn post that went up back in 2024, senior cinematic designer Jeff Spoonhower shared the following: "The #Bioshock team at 2K Cloud Chamber is ramping up!" Along with the post were job adverts for various positions in the team. So don't worry, BioShock 4 is still coming. But as of right now, it's tricky to say how far things are down the road, as there have been speculations flying regarding a potential release window for years now.
BioShock 4 is currently being developed by Cloud Chamber, a studio founded and owned under the 2K publishing label. The studio is led by former Firaxis Games veteran developer, Kelley Gilmore. In an interview with GamesRadar+, Gilmore says that the studio has strong "BioShock DNA", since several members had key roles to play in other BioShock titles – including creative director Hoagy de la Plante, art director Scott Sinclair, and design director Jonathan Pelling.
