Borderlands 3 Announce trailer (PS4, Xbox One, Epic Games Store Exclusive for 6 months), coming September 13th 2019 [read staff post]
- Thread starter Rodjer
- Start date
I did not present my argument as "it's just another launcher", you misinterpreted that entirely wrong. I said "attacks on people who decide to purchase on another launcher". I wasn't dismissing the issue here, in fact the last part of the very comment you quoted said that I do have an issue with how EPIC is doing business.
I was just stating that attacking someone by saying they have less dignity because of where they choose to purchase Borderlands 3 is laughable, because regardless of how shitty this is it is not THAT serious that we need to question peoples level of dignity.
I really hope so as well. If Borderlands sells well on EGS, the flood doors will be wide open for more moneyhatting on AAA games. And not only by Epic that is. No doubt several other big companies will join the party if it's proven that the majority of pc gamers are fine with moneyhatting.
For the future of pc gaming, stakes ARE high this time. But it's perfectly understandable that not everyone cares about that. Some people just want to play games.
I just hope enough people care to make a difference.

All my friends going to play borderlands 3 on ps4 instead of pc thanks to Epic, I guess I'll just need to find more patient friends
Do they really not have a single physical thing with the most expensive edition?
Just some memey buttstallion cosmetics that will be ugly?

I agree that no one should be "attacked" for choosing to purchase the game on EGS. However these exclusivity deals by Epic, should they continue, will mark a monumental shift in how the PC gaming business has operated since forever. I don't believe this should be downplayed as "not THAT serious". It is a big deal.
For that you'll want the 250$ edition which comes with a loot chest, 10 figurines, a map, some litographs and other stuff. But the 99$ version? Yeah nothing.
Solid trailer though, not a fan of the music but yeah. Instanced loot is a pretty big plus but the fact you can play with the classic rules is good too! Definitely gonna play with FL4K on the first playthrough.
Oof 250 is too much
Was hoping for a small physical thing for 100 dollars
Damm
Yo guys, can someone help me out here. I'm trying to experiment on the regional pricing on Epic Games Store, and I'm using Brazil as my example.
When I set my account to brazil and go to purchase, Borderlands 3 first shows 59.99 USD, then at checkout it changes to 30 USD, which is 116 Brazilian Real.
Does EGS always show USD as the currency? Or should the currency reflect the region?
I have a couple pictures attached. I don't know if it's just something wrong with the store.

Gotcha.
However don't expect us to be overly warm when these people don't give a damn about the precedent and harm they are enabling either, not with the wealth of information and arguments made against it.

Wallet is $130 lighter today, got the super duper deluxe edition and BL1 game of the year edition for X1X, can't wait to loot Knox armory again

At least in Brazil, the store always shows the price in USD, yes. There's regional pricing, but charged in USD.
That's fine. Just keep the insults to yourselves (not saying you're insulting someone here. But individuals are doing so).
My personal priorities aren't the same as yours. Meaning is why I don't really care which store I buy my games from.
But I totally understand those that chose to wait, rightfully so. You have the right to do so as a consumer. But don't come here insulting me because I chose to buy the game on a store you don't agree with.
Yeah and there were leaks about this a week ago so not much more we can say other than it sucks
"I've stated my argument hundreds of times and they still disagree with my framing! That's not ok!"
It actually is ok. This sort of mob mentality is toxic.
I'm sorry if this has been said countless times but I'm not really a PC player, although I don't understand the EGS debacle, to me it's just another launcher to download for the players and Epic is moneyhating devs/editors to get timed exclusivity on their store, not something new in the industry. And they offer a better split on revenue for devs, so what's the problem exactly?
Anybody have experience with this? I'm all for waiting and all that to show I'm not supporting Epic's practices, but if I can own the game for 50% off, I'm gonna do it.Yo guys, can someone help me out here.

Edit: Aww
Out of my group, that 4 playered all of 1, 2, and presequel, barring me 2 are refusing now because they don't trust the epic store spying stuff. So none of us are getting it now, gg 2k.
As a matter of fact it has been said countless times, maybe you should go back and read through those dozens of instances. Just search "just another launcher".
Yeah, this is basically my take too. Some are getting a bit irrational with anger towards epic and the pubs who join them. This strategy is probably short term and who knows if it will pay off in the long run. Either way, I have plenty of other games to play and things to spend my time on and I will pick these up later when on Steam or maybe not at all if that ship has sailed and the games are meh.
I feel you. With so many things coming out I can just laugh and carry on. I guess they are counting on people not giving a damn and/or not being able to wait. I'm trying to get through division 2, outward, portia when I'm feeling something relaxing add COD with my friends. Still have to play Nier and Automata plus I plan on getting a switch this fall. Dude with so many really cool games coming out all the time anymore its easier than ever to wait on shit like this lmao
Yeah, really weird that instead of seeing a bunch of people coming up with genuine reasons for defending Epic's practices, you just get a bunch of people essentially posting, "I'm ignorant, and clearly don't care enough about this topic to Google anything, but I'm gonna post my opinion here anyways."
thanks for your insight. Appreciate it.

Read this very long and multi-part Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/RobotBrush/status/1112204567394086913
Some nice people made a nice FAQ for you:

Enjoy your reading! :)
As expected. The moment Pitchfork made that tweet talking about 6 months and telling people send their comments to the publisher I knew that the exclusivity was coming. Well at least it's only six months
Yup. Im not ruling out getting it on the Epic store, but I was so juiced about this game and this whole exclusivity just made me lose some steam on BL3. I have 320 hours on BL2 and I am literally still playing it with my friend we are in the DLC of UVH now.
Always were.
That said, if BL3 has an equivalent of Nephalim Rifts from Diablo 3 I'll never stop playing it. Chaining together random zones with randomized enemies and conditions with extra badassery for richer lootstuffs would be the perfect cherry on top of a meaty, replayable and directed campaign.
Oh wow. Kudos to those who took the time to put this together. Bookmarked.
Looks pretty cool but I'm a bit disappointed that the game looks literally identical to BL2 graphically. I know it uses a stylized look, but there are still things you can improve and change. This looks like it's literally the same tech. Not to sound too salty, but to be honest I'm kind of wondering what they've been doing for the past 7 years. This doesn't look like 7 years of work. This looks like something Ubisoft would churn out annually.
Still gonna play it tho
This is probably a stupid question, so I apologize if so, but can you add Epic games to your Steam library via the "Add a Non-Steam Game" feature?
I really love using Big Picture Mode with Steam link in my bedroom and I'd prefer to launch things from that interface.
