Borderlands is the biggest exclusivity deal they've gotten yet. 6 months reeks of a compromise so it's not too expensive.Huh 6 months instead of the usual 12, wonder whose decision that was.
1) Where is the collectors edition?! I KNOW they are going to have one.
2) Also, Crossplay would be fucking huge and would cause me to buy copies on Xbox so we can play together while I am on PS4.
Few things to pick at here.It makes me wonder where the money for exclusivity actually goes.
The assumption I've always made is: Epic's moneyhatting is the equivalent of the game selling a large, set number of units on Steam and benefits the entire company, but not consumers.
I'm starting to wonder if it's actually: Epic's money goes straight to the executives, who are okay with the game selling less overall because of receiving a massive bribe that they don't need to share.
Do we know which of these (if either) is true?
Is EGS broken or something? I've been stuck on this page for an hour already. I want to check how much is it in my local currency.
I'm still wary about character customization. Seeing just "skins" listed has me unsure whether we're getting Overwatch-style outfits or BL2-style palette swaps.
The editions don't mention anything about DLC Vault Hunters. I wonder if they'll be included in the season pass and are just a surprise for now, if they'll be separate purchases regardless of which version you get, or if they're just straight up not doing them. How did Borderlands 2 handle Gaige and Krieg?
Crowd would have eaten them alive there, just ONE mention of EPIC and crowd booed. Don't you guys have phones, launchers versions, would have been.So why did they not announce all of this last week? And I don't see a problem with it being on Epic Game store, but then again I don't mind all the different launchers.
Either way I am excited to replay 1 and 2 before September. Is the Pre-Sequel worth checking out?
BL2 had a similar thing, it was like 1.5% increase or something iirc.Wait, what? I didn't know EGS had region locked content.
Of course it will
I sincerely doubt they would fuck with loot in Borderlands to the point this would be needed but yikes all the same.
Gaige was a pre-order bonus and became a seperate purchase I think a couple months later. Krieg was a seperate purchase too meaning both were not a part of the season pass.The editions don't mention anything about DLC Vault Hunters.

To be honest when its an Unreal Engine game, I'm really starting to see the developer's motivations in going with EGS.
88% vs 65%. It's almost a matter of fiduciary responsibility at this point.
They updated store this week to block buying if you block tracking scripts.
Huh Id have thought division 2 would be bigger but probably just differentstandards between the pubs for expected pay for exclusivityBorderlands is the biggest exclusivity deal they've gotten yet. 6 months reeks of a compromise so it's not too expensive.

there was a similar thing in BL2 pre-orders, it actually made it more difficult for legendaries to drop because it made more "rare" quality weapons drop instead iirc. the xp boost also wasn't worthwhile once you had a higher level mod that was better suited for your build.
"It is perfectly acceptable to want to wait for a game to be released on the storefront of your preference (ex: "I'll just wait for the Steam release.") It is not acceptable to troll threads because of storefront exclusivity timed or otherwise (ex: "So the real PC release is going to be a year later.") The latter is needlessly inflammatory and distracts from discussion. We will be scrutinizing these posts more closely going forward."How are these drive-by posts not against the spirit of the staff post in this thread?
division was also on uplay, where Im sure most of the sales are at (including my own, cuz im sure as shit not buying anything on egs)With Division 2 deal I imagine it helped that Tencents owns slice of both, Ubi and Epic.
May end up getting it on PS4 instead of PC. Wish they'd put out a trailer going into the characters and weapons like they did with 2 and Pre-Sequel.
Why is this 60 dollars?? 2k gets a truck load of money from Epic, 88 percent share and can't even offer a slight discount?
I probably could have bought a steam key for 47.99 already from green man gaming.
Well at least egs is good for one thing. Definitely no reason to pre order games anymore.
BecauseWhat he said. Also I'm disheartened to see people yet again touting that "Valve nwill maybe finally react and change their shit". What planet are you living on where moneyhatting incentivize improving on features? It encourages moving away from them to just chuck out bags of cash and taking the market down with it. Isn't EGS example enough of a store's features look like when you focus on this tactic.
Fortnite and Chinese money rules all of us now.
It was also available on the 2K store but it looks like it sold out.Damn. The collectors edition are exclusive to GameStop? Fuck. I guess I'll just get standard on Amazon now.
He's an offical borderlands partnerWho is this person and how would they know? The legendary thing is speculation, it looks large cause it's close to the camera and there's an item behind it. a sound effect like in Diablo would be a nice addition though.

people in the thread were saying there was a boo at the mention of epic onceTbh, it'd be interesting to see if a crowd would boo a live announcement of EGS exclusivity.
Why do they need to explain that?They need to explain why it's taken so long, cause as of now I don't see any reason why this game has taken years to release.
Yeah a massive bag of cash upfront is the ONLY reason. It has absolutely nothing to do with the revenue split.
