Not sure if you posted this already but Borderlands 3 will most likely be Epic Store exclusive for some time after launch. I will repeat what I said in the other threads. I hate artificial exclusives but I hate Valve even more, so go Epic!

I love Borderlands and I will probably sink hundreds of hours into Borderlands 3 and I have absolutely no problem buying it on a different storefront.

It's the fourth article in today's first news post.

I don't like exclusives on consoles, except for first party titles, and I like them even less on PC. In any case, I never buy games at launch so most of these temporal exclusivities mean nothing to me, except for letting me know how some of those developers and publishers that always claim to care about customers really are.

And in the case of Borderlands 3, to be honest I didn't like 2 and, after all the DLCs and GOTY editions that the previous games in the franchise have had, it's more sensible to wait for the inevitable GOTY edition of Borderlands 3.

No, he says that he doesn't mind if it's a short exclusivity deal like 6 months or so, not that it will be that short/long. And so far, all the exclusivity deals for the Epic Store have been for at last a year.

Considering you don't like Borderlands 2 you have forfeited your humanity and valid opinions anyway.

Also, why would you like software exclusivity less than hardware exclusivity? I'd rather install a million different clients than buy a million plastic DRM boxes that pretend to be legitimate gaming options.

In other news: Steam is down. If only it didn't also have timed exclusivity for 99% of all games, then I could actually play something right now. Isn't a monopoly a great thing?
