This is such a weird thing. LIke a 1 GB day one patch is some scandalous thing these days, and then half the errors are basically repeated.

For sure. I have no beef with EGS. I'll need an online shooter and looking at Breakpoint, boy that won't be it.
They should've made "Randy Says Something Really Stupid" the free space
Everything about what they have shown on BL3 looks good but BL always looks good in moments, actually sitting down and playing the game can be a dull and drab affair depending on circumstances. Nothing nailed that point home more then when I went back and revisited BL2 recently with the Handsome Jack pack.
I rather wait for more opinions and look to see if they did address some things that I have had issues with, namely the way solo play works in this game compared to previous BLs.
Also, EGS does not allow paypal for some reason and that is the way I buy all my PC digital games. So despite having decent regional pricing(on EGS), the only places I can get BL3 is by going to 3rd party sites like GMG/Humble who have the game at 30% increase cause they naturally don't want to take the hit for selling the game at a discount.
Looking at price history, its funny to see EGS function in the exact opposite way from Steam. EGS takes the biggest cut(it's fair to assume) due to pricing being favorable there but the opposite is the case with Steam where in most cases it ends up being the most expensive place to get a game and you're better off buying it from trusted 3rd party key sellers.

Yea I don't know, is that chart supposed to be funny or something?
I voted the second option but I'm actually waiting way longer down the line to buy it anywhere that lets me not use the Epic Games Launcher/Store. Since I'll have to wait, I'll just wait longer for it to be cheaper with DLC included.
There's 0% chance I'm buying it on the EGS.

I never planned to buy it on release day, be on Steam or in EGS. Although I wouldn't have issue on buying on on EGS, I would prefer it on Steam but it isn't going to kill me or anything.
Hah, no.
I'm probably not getting it at all because Pitchford is garbage, but if I am it won't be through the EGS.

I'm sitting out on this one. Between not wanting to deal with Epic's shenanigans and Destiny 2: Shadowkeep coming in October (which would completely kick my BL3 playtime to the curb anyway), it's really easy to pass on Borderlands 3 for at least the next six months.
If it had come out on Steam, I may have purchased it just to avoid caving on the PS4 version of Iceborne. Oh well.

This. Idc about store exclusivity. Never understood the loyalty to Steam it is basically just a menu where I launch my games from
Don't mistake not wanting to support EGS as that. If the game was releasing on, say, GOG you'd see many happy to get it there instead.
Yep. Love the series so I honestly don't give a fuck where I buy the game. If it needs to be EGS to play on day one, EGS it will be.
Nope, don't really care that much about Borderlands as a franchise and I have so much to play at the moment I can happily wait until it's on sale on Steam a year or so down the line. I'm also not interested in supporting Epic or their shitty practices so that makes it an even easier choice to skip it.
Not even if you paid me.
Borderlands is trash.
Gearbox and Randy are trash.
EGS is trash.
Enabling these people? Goodness no.

Nope. I wouldn't buy it Day 1 regardless but I sure as hell won't pick it up on EGS anytime soon. Besides, Randy makes it really hard to buy this game at all.
I wasn't really planning on buying it anyway because I think I'm kinda done with BL, but if I was to buy it, I'd have no problem buying it on EGS.
Really, I'm just a sucker for a better deal on games I'm on the fence about. I'd rather wait 2-3 years and pick it up for sub £20 than pay full RRP on a game I'm uncertain about.

Nope. Never buying anything from Epic. I'll pick it up sometime next year after a hefty discount.
