Borderlands 3 Epic Store Exclusive

twitter.com/Wario64/status/1112771380813025280

Honestly? I'm okay with this. Steam needs competition and I couldn't think of anything that would drive normies to EGS than BL3 - plus I don't like the series anyway.

>I have to use free launcher B instead of free launcher A??
>NOOOOO

Shut up and get a real complaint.

Why are there so many Epic shill threads?

Why the fuck did they make a third game then?

>Steam needs competition
It would be nice if Epic would compete with Steam by selling the same products. Then the customers would benefit. But as long as Epic has the sole right to sell something they have absolutely no reason to lower the price and the customers suffer. Fuck Epic for trying to turn the PC platform into the cancerous console market with exclusivity.

Better prices? A better storefront? Literally anything besides paid exclusives to games they didn't even make?
Retards like you complain about steam being a monopoly, but Epic is literally trying to become a monopoly by buying out as many exclusives as they can

Borderlands, randy and you can fuck off

Epic gives out literal free games and it's not good enough for Steam drones

Like that's supposed to. A free game that I'm not interested in playing might as well cost $500 because the result is the same.

>never really got into borderlands, liked 1, turned off by 2
>continue to see absolutely 0 games I'm interested in go epic exclusive

When it finally happens it'll be annoying but for now I don't give a shit.

So people actually like this series? If I did then I'd just buy 3 on epic because I'm not a fucking drama queen, but the gameplay is just so boring. I pirated 1 a while back and got bored after the first area. Loot n shoot was a mistake

Despite games getting more commercial every year the devs and publishers still seem to lack some basic knowledge about economy, demand and supply.

>Hey guys i made this game and you will buy it
>I make the conditions and if you complain about it i will call you stupid and entitled
>Wait! What do you mean you will not buy it or pirate it instead?!
>Fuck. Gamers are truly the worst!

Imagine this happening in other industry. Like grocery stores or hotels. It's really insane.
You can pull off that shit if the industry you are working in is controlled by the sellers/publishers but it's not like there are no alternatives to games like Borderlands, Fortnite and whatever. You can always play something else

Want to know how to make competition?
You give people an option. Not a ultimatum.
Get borderlands on either service. Not Epic games store or nothing.
Because most people will choose nothing out of spite. Or simply pirate.

I wish that was true. Fuck Borderlands fans. That would be a good defense against Gearbox earning any more money.

4th game actually.

>So people actually like this series?

Here's a Steam drone bragging he has a thousand hours in them

No physical, no buy. Digital download code doesn't count.
Valve drones don't care about choice, they didn't care when Valve took choice away by getting rid of physical copies and gave digital distribution a monopoly on PC.
I started pirating because of Steam.

Steam autists stopped screeching, so reasonable people can finally post something about EGS.

I'm pretty sure he's just establishing credibility so his threat can't be dismissed out of hand. It's easy to ignore people who say "I would have bought it but now I won't" when they are probably lying and didn't buy shit. It happens a lot.

Mods have confirmed that its all one guy for the most part, same dude that spams the Mortal Kuckbat and Larian vs Obsidian threads. He just picks a new autistic obsession every few months and shitposts it hard

>valve took physical copies away.
The industry took physical copies away.
I can't find a physical copy of any PC game post 2010.

I wonder what Epic will use to compare The Outer World's sales on their store with, 2010's New Vegas?

That's kind of incredible that one person can bring down the quality of an entire board all by himself.

nah. that's horseshit

This - Steam drones have lost their fight

Is it really so hard to believe when Barneyfag's stupid pictures are the most posted images on the website?

It's not hard to choose a popular thing and spam the contrarian opinion every hour on the hour.

It actually isnt and happens quite a bit. You underestimate the power of autism.

Yeah, if they knew it was one guy, he'd be banned pretty quick. And all it takes is an IP change and they wouldn't be able prove it was him again.

Steam sales Fallout 76

nope. it's coordinated

for this, and other reasons

That guy makes the posts and threads he replies to and feigns ignorance.

It's like you're new and dont know what fireden is

But why would you? Low hanging fruit isn't mentally stimulating. Just having people shout at him must be some kind of endorphin trigger in his brain, but I can't imagine being wired that way.

Its cute how epic shills are pretending to be random posters passing by the thread

This comes off as Steam drone cope, lost in the marketplace of ideas just like Steam is lost in the free market

So you're saying he uses the same images too? OK, that's a bit more proof than you mentioned.

I feel its worth reminding people that borderlands 1 is the game that had Yea Forums screeching viral at everything for 3-4 years.

>And all it takes is an IP change and they wouldn't be able prove it was him again.
Thats not how IPs work, how the fuck do you think the mods ban people for ban evasion if they can't tell who you are once you change your IP?

The exact IP might not be the same anymore, but you still know their location based on the IP

Fuck steam and epic for censoring and banning anime styled games.

That too, most of his Epic threads start the same way

Why would Barneyfag post cropped horse fucker pictures and reply to himself calling himself out on being a horse fucker?
Autism.

There's people that stalk celebrities for months, people that spend thousands of hours writing conspiracies, yet you find it that hard to believe someone would post threads on an anonymous image board daily.

THREADLY REMINDER: EPIC PAYS FOR YOU TO PIRATE GAMES ON THEIR PLATFORM SO THERE IS ZERO REASON NOT TO.

Steam has competition.

There's nothing good about EGS for consumers.

are you fucking retarded bro?

Can't post withing like 60 seconds of yourself.
3 separate people called you out.

>only six months
Oh don't worry, it's gonna start with 6 months. If this game actually does good on Epic, games will be exclusive longer than just 6 months. Hell most other games already start at one year, if Borderlands 3 is going to be on Epic for six months we really good lucky this time.

Physical PC had already shrunken massively prior to steam launching.

I remember watching the PC games section at stores shrink hard from 98-2005. From an aisle, to a half an aisle, to a few shelves, to a shelf.

So you believe instead of it being a one guy conspiracy it's a multiple guy conspiracy, yet have nothing to refute it is just one guy.

thereby proving my thesis, thanks

you have no evidence that it is only one guy, whereas the posting patterns observably show it can't be one guy

Thank you for admitting defeat. I'll take this win.

Before I didn't care about the Epic Store but now I hope it fails hard, because that would mean Borderlands 3 would also fail and Gearbox would finally go out of business

And?

Most all of the steam codes sold outside steam are generated by the devs who get to sell them outside of valve for extra profit.

It is an option though. Just not very convenient

Are you retarded? Steam is the definition of anti competitions as it is a fucking monopoly. Any competition is good. Fucking imbecile

ok show me the evidence you little yellow snot. lmao

The fact that you have shit like this saved on your PC means you get called out for this shit constantly and you're self conscious about it. That tells me it's right on the fucking money.

You don't know what a monopoly is. Steam isn't one of them. Not even close because of shit like this.
There's dozens of stores not even shown there.

This is literally THE ONLY REASON why I will not buy Borderlands on the Epic Store, same with Metro, I refuse to not have everything in one place, even if it was cheaper, or hell. FREE.
I'll likely either wait or pirate it, then buy it when it comes out on steam.

Watch as the redditors scramble as they are exposed for trying to ingratiate themselves into a community they are not a part of. I bet you can't wait for that games page to come back up.

Based oldfag. How have you survived so long? Kudos. I'm a newfag 2007-er and I'm growing weary.

The fact still remains that mods are able to tell if someone is ban evading, so its not as if they'd make this claim for no reason.

Competition implies a product is available to all stores, but something in particular about a certain store, makes the buyer more compelled to go to their service
See Gamestop with in-game bonuses via pre-ordering with them over walmart, bestbuy, online, etc
This is not competition, this is a borderline forced monopoly

You're an idiot. Nobody ever said it did. Just that your insistence that this is something that started because reddit people came to Yea Forums is a clear sign that you are both retarded and a newfag.

Nobody is stating that it started with reddit, you retard. It is commonplace on reddit and as a result of that people who come here from reddit type like that because they're so used to it. That's the point. People who type like that are remarkably more likely to be from reddit because they don't know how the sites are different. That's the point.

And now you have publishers and developers that don't release their games on services other than EGS. The underlying mechanics don't matter to the consumer, the end effect is the same. Epic is doing what Valve has been doing for years, but somehow it was okay when they did it.
I have no stake in this, I hate both and 95% of the AAA shit that comes out on them, I just don't see how they're any different to the end user, other than corporate loyalty.

As far as I know, the whole 'discord trannies' thing has a bit of truth to it, most notably the group that was on r9k a while back that got that kid to kill himself. I don't think it's as widespread as some anons say, but they definitely exist, and some reoccurring shit threads can probably be attributed to an organized effort.
That being said, I don't buy that they're targeting one guy.

If the kind of people who bought Borderlands 1 & 2 are on Yea Forums it's time for me to pack my fucking bags

>And now you have publishers and developers that don't release their games on services other than EGS
Incorrect. It was the publishers decision to release only Steam. In EGS Case Epic payed those publishers for exclusivity so they can't and won't release on a different launcher.

Literally nobody would be talking about or giving a fuck about Epic Games Store if Epic didn't buy exclusivity. Hell people might even like the launcher better that way.

I just don't buy it for a second that there are people that consider themselves "fans" of a shitty launcher. I can think of no explanation but a coordinated effort to push EGS. It's extremely suspicious.

Good fuck off back to /reddit/.

I am completely indifferent between Steam and EGS. And lowkey I understand some of the complaints about EGS. I just find steam fanboys incredibly insufferable, and they blow everything so ridiculously out of proportion that I feel the need to shill, just to fuck with them. This is what to much time on Yea Forums does to you lad.

i'll do that when you re-read the definition of "evidence" and come back to explain to us exactly what went wrong apart from you're an illiterate shrimpdick

Based and agreed

It's shills user. There has been proof of shills on Yea Forums for years now.

Also remember not to drink alcohol with your pills as it can cause interactions and destroy your liver

Fact: during the firat years of Yea Forums tripfags were a huge part of the site. Even moot and snacks were huge tripfags.

Right, but you do realize not actively /pol/posting is not organized shilling right?
What other than the /r9k/ thing though?

Dource for your claim?

read the thread, look how quickly they fucking jumped out of their chairs when that was suggested, instead of the narrative they want to push of it being one guy

now they've all gone silent after taking newfag bait

I've done astroturf marketing like that for the business I work for.

It absolutely happens on Yea Forums. I haven't done it here because that's not the market, but I've seen a lot of posts that look just like what I've done elsewhere, to a T.

Yea Forums is a great place to do it, as the community is already trained to repeat shit and adopt it as their own opinion, so if you get traction here it's like getting free labor.

>I don't even give a hoot about EGS but don't you hate Steam and prefer to purchase and be satisfied with games that are exclusive to the Epic Games Store from Epic Games, a subsidiary of Tencent, a branch of the People's Republic of China?

i'll do that too, but first learn how to correctly use words in english

Just stop posting you idiot.

There's nothing wrong with other stores on PC. It helps create some kind of competition. I've bought shit on Steam, Blizz net, Origin, Uplay and GoG.
Epic is pure shit with their only Lure being they pay off publishers to put their games there for one year. If their launcher wasn't complete shit and didn't have actual spyware in there, I wouldn't be too fussed about using it. Until then, Epic can fuck off.

>Some might think Rudi's combination of practicing Islam and unabashed queernes contradictiory

The Epic Games store does not work on Linux.
Steam works natively, lots of GOG Games (though no launcher) work natively. BattleNET, UPlay and Origin work through wine without trouble.
Epic Games can fuck off

>here's nothing wrong with other stores on PC.
Right. You don't see anyone moaning about humble store, GMG, Nuuvem, etc like people are coming after epic games store, because none of those places are doing huge anticonsumer shit that makes the market worse like epic games store.

The options publishers had for releasing there games around steams few years of starting out were Steam, Caliphs release, and GFWL.
Physical was costly. GFWL was a travesty to deal with and Steam was just the best choice and the time. Hell Steam didn't even pay anyone to put there games on the service.
Epic is actively making shit bad for everyone involved. Yes they get an extra 15% of funds but nobody is using the service because it sucks. They are buying up Games to exclusively sell on their platform nobody wants to use. Actively ruining sales for the games they have.

Chances are they would make more money if they just didn't force exclusivity.

I think most people were just annoyed GG shitters were still posting their bs all over the release of one of the most antipated sequels on Yea Forums. Nobody seemed to attack the posts calling out the studio for lack of experiance, etc.

Epic paid for your copy already so it would be IMMORAL not to pirate it! Don't want Epic's money going to waste now, do you?

Epic exclusivity is an unnecessary red flag

But then again, like that other dev said. They've "accounted" for the losses, right? Kek

>for whatever reason
For a large payout?

They "Made the choice" when given the options of take 15% less of a cut from steam or "get payed" to only be on a platform nobody wants to use while also getting 15% more from that store.

Publishers sees short term big numbers and think it's a good idea, but if the last 11 years have told us anything. Publishers and investors are bad at math and long term thinking.

>you cant just lie to my face.

Rumours have it in some circles people actually like videogames. I mean I can't disprove it wasn't a paradox employee making the threads.

More likely they go "now show Steam"

only reason I don't like Epic launcher is how it is literally being used by the Chinese Government to spy on you

that's right

Competition is two things doing the same thing and one coming out on top.
This isn't a competition.
It's like they are both playing basketball in different courts and Epic stole Steams ball and took it home with him.

So, are you going to explain why are you spamming these threads, or will you keep changing the subject like a retard?

>This isn't a competition.
What steam has with the dozens of stores that sell pc games that aren't epic games store is competition. It's literally textbook direct competition.

What they have with epic is a whole bunch of anti consumer clusterfuck where epic doesn't want direct competition.


Fuck epic.

This can't be happening. I just purchased $120 in Steam Wallet from GameStop just for the digital deluxe edition of Borderlands 3. It's just sitting in my Steam account anticipating the pre-order and now I'm not going to be able to buy it. I honestly don't know what to say. Go to hell Tim Sweaney of Epic Games Store!

What exactly is the elusive marketplace and how is it threatened?

Funny thing is, I actually do have an Epic account, I used it to play Unreal Tournament 4. After they stopped developing because it didn't make Fortnite bucks, I unninstalled that shit and stopped caring about them since they stopped caring about their only game that I gave a shit.

And now they're pulling this shit and activelly making me dislike them more than I already did for abandoning UT4.

Ah, so it is a /pol/ thing. Thanks user.

Congratulations. The sperg played with you and got away with his shit. Now watch how he'll make the same fucking thread after this one gets archived or deleted.

Hey you can use google translate too.

Not even Epic wants to normalize paid exclusives. They are just guaranteeing sales until they can reach a takeoff point. The end goal is free exclusives.

Rehashes are easy to make.

Like it matters. If he proxies and evades bans what can we do? He's basically immortal. I just used this thread for shitposting.

If Epic is paying hard dosh to devs to get exclusives, don't you think they'd pay 50 cents for random people to go on EVERY vidya discussion place in the internet to shill?
Lol get a hint

The real problem is more that he's not technically breaking any rules

spamming is againts the rules

not for a fucking second would i believe that, no

they'd pay them 5 cents

You accepted digital downloads costing full retail price, you accepted no regional pricing, not owning your games, always online DRM, DLC, day 1 DLC, on disk DLC, preorder exclusive content, multiple launchers and accounts to play a single game, season passes, lootboxes and DRM that runs your games in a virtual machine, and this is where you draw the line?

That's not really an option for BL3 unless you like playing it alone it's already boring enough with friends

Spamming and ban evading are against the rules.

"spamming" by the definition of the rules means more like rapid shitposting, not remaking a gay thread every few hours/days

I agree with your post for the most part.
But what is wrong with
>you accepted no regional pricing

no, it means that too

Epic will BTFO itself once zoomers stop playing Fortnite and move on to the next fad. They can't keep buying devs forever, it's not sustainable.

It doesn't matter what they want to do, what matters is what they are doing. What they are doing is normalizing paid exclusives.

You people are seriously some dumb fucks. You deserve everything you get. I look forward to saying "I told you so" this time next year.

I am just trying to help user. I use launchbox and it works great. Though The new list view kinda sucks, and I feel like the only focus on BigBox now. Still it is way better than keeping steam open.

The fact that I, in a relatively well paid position, earn $1000 a month. And that's fine, I can make a living with it where I live. But video games cost the same for me as for Americans who earn 5 times as much.
Back when we had actual boxed games, Steam's 75% deals barely matched local retail prices. If the game got a budget re-release in a single DVD box (you remember those gold/GOTY/whatever editions), it cost between $3 and $7. Find me a 3 years old AAA title I can have for that much on Steam.

Exclusives are not "competition". It's funny how the same people saying Steam has a monopoly are ignoring how exclusives are pure 100% monopolistic behavior. It's a tactic designed to shut out everyone in the market except yourself. That is what a monopoly is. Steam has never done anything of the sort except with the games that Valve made themselves, which is not only respectable, but also expected.

>some not all

oof, oh no, somebody repeats himself, how about you reposting your posts constantly? how does that help?

We don't need your help because we are completely content with Steam.

The ship of fighting for consumer rights in the vidya market sailed some 15 years ago bro.

You think you are, but you are not. You are like someone who thinks they are completely content with playing an FPS with a controller on their console with paid online. You are truly lost. That being said, as previously mention, you can manually add games to steam.

Again, attempting to deflect any consumer concerns with
>it's too late bro, let everything go to shit

If you can't accomplish your goals without shady, dishonorable tactics -- maybe you should find another goal. And EVERYONE is onto Epic's shit at this point. The #1 complaint is their use of exclusives to snipe at other markets and that is what everyone is so pissed off about. This has nothing to do with Steam or any other market. It's about Epic and their exclusives-sniping.

So anti-consumer practices are fine as long as they don't touch you personally?
That's great, I don't buy games for a couple of years after release, so the EGS poses no issue. Glad that's all sorted out.

This did absolutely nothing to refute his statement. You just changed the subject and ignored the problem.

>somebody repeats himself
Immediately making the exact same thread for weeks and even months and going so far to keep changing the hash of the images or the subject to avoid getting caught is more than "just repeating himself".

So epic shills are at this point actually just advocating for Epic Store by yelling that it IS as bad as everyone says it is but it's too powerful to stop. That's hilarious.

That's what I suspect mainly because it is tooo obvious.

>You blew it
On the contrary they are the first challenger to take up a winning strategy. Just because you do not like it, does not change the fact that it is more effective than making a really good store for you to ignore.

Don't overthink it. Most 'official' twitter accounts of employees are run by corporate. Half of the people they claim to by don't even have access to the account. This was likely an official corporate statement that they either put directly on his twitter or told him to put on there.

All these people's real twitter accounts with their uncensored opinions are private and make no mention of their job.

I am sure they will eventually. Origin actually tried pretty aggresively to be a good launcher, and literally nobody cared. They put their fingers in their ears and screamed. But it turned out that didn't matter though, and what made Origin actually move games was exclusivity. Tim is just taking a page from that.

Makes senses, since nobody like the Epic shills posts. It's proof it's 2-3 people at very most. Why aren't mods perma-banning them though?

Hi OP

I don't see anyone advocating for the EGS, just asking where the fuck were you when all those other bad precedents were being set.

I hope its april fools. But in any case Steam needs to get going. They are currently losing, not just to epic but so many games have left. Only Bethesda came back....

Origin is pretty cool, to be fair. I don't use it heavily because I don't play a lot of EA games, but their return policy is 30-days no-questions-asked. Just like that. And the software itself is pretty fluid and not hard to work with.

I'm not saying I'd want to use it exclusively. Just that they are probably the best of the 'alternatives' - mainly because of that killer refund policy.

>It's been hilariously ineffective.
Lol.

So at this point it's no longer about providing consumers with the best experience. You're just in a dickwaving contest. Assuming Epic gains major marketshare, I bet you'll continue fighting against everything you see as "pro-consumer" because you don't want daddy tencent to waste money on those evil entitled gamers.
