Borderlands 3's Epic Store-Exclusive PC Version Is A Massive Success Already

It's going to be so nice to play this after its initial 6 month beta test :^)

EPIC success!

That’s because 99.9% of Steamers bought the game on Epic despite all the steamers they laid on the internet about it.

Makes sense. Only the belligerent numpties who troll game site comments sections care about Epic exclusivity. The other 99.9999% couldn't care less.

This isnt surprising information. Borderlands was going to turn out huge numbers regardless of the platform simply because it's a highly recognizable IP.

As with most "gamers," they're completely fine with saying one thing and doing the opposite, as usual.

I'm still not touching EGS.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Gearbox got their start creating expansion content for Valve's Half Life before they started making their own games, and now they're turning around and stabbing Valve in the back with their exclusive deal on the Epic store? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Ive said it before ill say it again: steam doesnt need to beat epic. Steam just needs a Game Pass system and theyve won all over again.

As sucky as Epic is for their dealings, the truth is it's a non-issue for the majority of PC gamers. Nothing more than a mild inconvenience of opening another launcher.

The complaints on online forums, especially on Reddit, is just a bubble of high-strung gamers who are trying to create an artificial outrage as if the problem is an industry-wide epidemic.

But in reality it's like vegans trying to convince everyone to stop eating meat.

Because the only people complaining about it weren't true borderlands fans. They were casual fans that wanted to jump on the hype train but don't have as much interest in it as the proper fans who have been waiting year after year since bl2 for a bl3 announcement at every major gaming convention. People who really care about borderlands don't give a shit what platform it's on as long as they can finally play it. I've played through it and imo it's better than bl2 in almost every way and was well worth the wait. People who keep commenting about waiting for the steam version because "screw epic" are tiresome and not true borderlands fans regardless of how much they try and act like it. That's the truth. The reason the PC version has done so well is because a lot of people who DO love borderlands don't care about the platform that it's on. So the "boycott borderlands 3" campaign went absolutely nowhere as expected. The game was always going to rise and fall on it's own merits and i think it has risen. I'd give it game of the year and those who are still letting the world know about how much of a rebel they are by waiting for the consumer-respecting steam version don't know what they are missing out on.

End of rant.

Zzzzzzz

Epic is about as boring as this article, and the numbers might even be higher when this game comes to Steam. If people blindly listen to Pitchford, then they are sheep.

Everyone complaining about EPIC store being trash and etc and steam is better and they won't buy any games of EPIC game store.

And yet here we are with possibly millions of people still buying games from the Epic store. So much for the boycotting.

So much for the Epic boycott. LOL.

Gamespot needs to do some actual journalism just because a CEO says something is succesful "with no proof to back it up mind you", dosent make it true

Whats that smell? Oh, Pitchford opened its mouth again.
