Specifically taking issue with players who want to run Borderlands 4 at 4K resolution on different types of hardware, Pitchford discounted those who he called "4K stubborn" and encouraged people to try the game at 1440p."I know a lot of you are dead set on playing at 4k with ultra max settings and using two or three year old hardware," he wrote. "You do you, but BL4 and UE5 are doing a lot and for me that trade off for frames isn't worth it.
