@gamingdevil800: Right. Because the first couple of weeks for a game the most important, just like for a movie premier. After that, they may as well put it in a bargain bin.

Oh goodie. Can't wait to see "Designed by Hideo Kojima" before every mission!

Terrifying villain? Rian Johnson?

2K portfolio has Civ 6, XCOM, and Bioshock. All three are big sellers.

Beating out Civ 6 as the "highest seller in a 5-day period" is impressive; however, Civ, as a turn-based strategy, would have a much smaller appeal than a shooter like Borderlands.

Also, are these world-wide sales or US only?

Lastly, Borderlands 2 was released 7 years ago. Seven years is a long time for the market to grow. Steam itself has at least doubled or tripled in size, with over a billion accounts in 2019. So, having sold more than 50% of Borderlands 2 should be expected and has little to do with the platform it's being sold on.

Like Thrones of Britannia, this isn't Total War proper. More like a filler until Warhammer 3 is released.

Nice try Steam. You still can't compete with Epic's epic simplicity. Kids don't want features - they want exclusives!

Epic Store - where the customer gets always f-ed.

That's the first time I've heard of this "problem."

@gargar: This statement would make sense if Epic had a comparable service to Valve. They don't. They lack basic features one would expect from an online retailer.

Forgot to mention: believe or not, Valve is a smaller company than Epic. Epic is a huge multi-billion dollar company. Least they could do is create a solid infrastructure and a launcher than can compete with Valve.

Let's hope combat is a bit more refined. W2 depended heavily on combat and its antiquated mechanics were not fun. I played Fallout 1 and 2 back in the 1990s, but we've come a long way since then. Newer games that have turn-based combat, like XCOM or Divinity games, have been able to update the formula and make it interesting.
