OH NO NO NO NO NO, Why this happened to us Steambros?

>"Steam is bad because it allows bad games on it"
>releases Aliens Colonial Marines on Steam
Does Randy Bobandy not get the irony of his statement?

Based Randy making Pcbro heads explode.

Opposing Force was the only good thing they've ever made

Why is he such a salty bitch? He and his games get criticized and he goes off on twitter like a teenage girl. He that thin-skinned?

That's the only HL game I've played and found unenjoyable.

>We don’t NEED your money, Epic already bailed us out!

What do you think the cameraman told Randy to get him to pose like that?

Randy is not a smart man. All he had to do was keep his head down and promote the positives of his game, but instead he had to go and run his mouth in an EA-tier out of touch PR blunder on twatter and enrage the people who already weren't happy about having to use Epic store.
Gearbox's reputation was already about as bad as you can get after colonial marines, duke nukem etc. and now he's basically setting himself up as a lightning rod for the snowballing hatred that people have for Epic's business practices. If you wanted to make your game the target of boycotts and piracy, then that is the way to do it.

>getting excited for a borderlands game
Seriously, what's the appeal of the series? The world is bland, the story is trash, constant memeshit and the combat is average. The only thing the series has going for it is weapon variety.

If it does not belong on Steam, why is it coming to Steam anyway?

garbage game from garbage people on garbage platform, great.

The first couple of brothers in arms where pretty good. Instead of running around shooting everything like a superhuman you usually order your squad around to get/take better positions so you can fuck the germans up with them

Opposing Forces, brothers in Arms: Road to hill 30, Hell's Highway was okay. That's about it, the rest is garbage.

Are there going to be any fortnite crossover items? I'll only pre-order this if I get a fortnite skin.

>supports the decision
Are they saying he didn't contribute to the decision? The fucking CEO of gearbox?

Isn't the game coming to steam a year later? Why is he trying to piss off his customers?

Looks like "CODEX" Store are back on the menu boys.!

Because he’s fucking retarded

>Whines about a Steam
>Releases Risk of Rain 2 on Steam
Is he dumb?

i want to play borderlands 3 but this guy makes me regret it so bad EVERY FUCKING DAY

wtf

Just pirate it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

When you finally think Randy couldn't be any more pathetic, he manages to surprise you once again.

meh
if you're not already doing so and give it another shot, play HL1 more like quake, I'm generally hopping around everywhere and lobbing grenades or alt fire shotgunning things point blank, bobbing in and around cover killing shit is fun and enemies are fairly reactive and decent at pathfinding, especially HECU/blackops

>Isn't the game coming to steam a year later?
6 months.

i don't know if that's the lighting in the shot or something, but that is not a good color for your skin to be
he looks sickly

Who'd he embezzle this time to make Borderlands 3?

What's your point?

Guy is baiting, so are journalists and you dumbfucks are biting

No way.

who the hell even plays borderlands? I tried the first one and cringed out in 30 minutes and that was probably ten years ago

why is andy so fucking toxic towards his customers

If he was at least honest and just say, "I fucking love money and Epic is shoving fistfulls up my ass, Steam doesn't do that so fuck Stea." You know, what he really means.

unironically sony. they got a check to make borderlands 2 vr, kicked the project to a couple of barely-paid kids, and tucked the rest of the money away

I'm still honestly shocked that people are excited for Borderlands 3.

Gearbox is top 5 shittiest game companies and every single entry of the Borderlands series was way, way worse than the previous one. Every single other game Gearbox ever made was a total flop and complete garbage. Why the hell do people think 3 is going to be good and why are they excited for it enough to have an opinion at all?

I say let the retard stuff his entire lower torso in his mouth for now. Give it six months after release then watch him grovel at your feet.

The really sad part is that despite how many people like you complain, the sales won't be affected one bit. Gamers have no fucking spine. They want their shiny new toy and they'll suck it up and take it because god forbid they don't play this one video game immediately even though there are already more games they could ever complete in a life time.

It's the only FPS loot based game (to the point where an ARPG is loot based) in existence.

Post his son.

user, did you not follow the We Happy Few shitstorm? The WHF developers explicitly stated that Randy has no say in the company any more. It was a huge laugh when people realized that the dev was saying that the fact that the CEO of the company they partnered with was NOT helping them was considered a positive.

his wife ate him

So Randy Pitchford is Johnny Sac

So what happens in all these publishers' PR statements if the Epic Store falls flat and releasing games on it with timed exclusivity turns out to be a detriment to profits? At what point will they not double down and eventually decide the short term sales are better than toppling Steam's market share? Do you think they'll shake their finger at players for not understanding why the EGS was the right decision, or will they issue half-assed apologies for causing their fanbases grief?

There is nothing wrong with being a pedophile.

Why do all these idiots like Randy and the like love China so much? They whine about human rights and racism, and then side with fucking China of all places.

>We Happy Few
Did they ever fix that game? Last I heard they ditched the single player story for "muh rougelike multiplayer nonsense" or something.

Who knows, Steam got off easy by pretending the paid mods debacle never happened. I wonder if the same will happen for stuff like Metro and Phoenix Point. BL3 is lucky because they sell well, but Metro and PP are niche.

The lowered visibility will impact the sales regardless of whether people go through with their boycotts or not.

>Do you think they'll shake their finger at players for not understanding why the EGS was the right decision,
This is the fucking gaming industry.
They will ALWAYS blame the players if they think they can get away with it.

I don't know why people say Steam's still not doing paid mods. Do you guys don't know what the DotA2 and CS:GO marketplace is? A place literally filled with user created content that's being sold for money? I'm still mad you can't add custom models to either without risking a VAC ban.

"Bitch and moan?" I'll do one better and just not buy shit. I'm not going to install chink spyware on my PC.

What lowered visibility? People bitching and moaning about this are a huge source of free advertising. And you're forgetting about Epic's incentives. Even if, by some miracle, this does impact sales to a significant degree, the lower cut that Epic takes couple with the no Unreal engine royalties will mean that Yea Forums has 0 hope of voting with their wallet succeeding.

And that's in a perfect world. In the real world, every time someone says "Vote with your wallet! Don't buy Borderlands 3!" one person will agree and three will say "Oh neat, I didn't know Borderlands 3 was coming out. Time to go buy it."

>Best for Borderlands 3
Ohhhh so even he knows it won't be that great, or sell that well but Epic covers that already in the exclusivity deal.

>Piracy does not hurt devs, as it is not a lost sale
>lmfao ima pirate this game take that devs!
Well Yea Forums?

"Remember, you're not Anthony Burch"

of course he prefers epic. they gave him money. why would he ever shittalk the people that pay him?

People will still buy Borderlands 3 on Steam

Steam should retaliate desu

Honestly, the people I know that play CS GO and DOTA 2 don't play anything else on Steam besides some TF2, and in my case I don't play DOTA 2 and CS GO, I still play classic DOTA and CS 1.6. Maybe there isn't much of an overlap of fanbases.

Because you kept censoring loli. Fuck your store and I hope it burns.
Fuck Epic too, it can burn as well.

They should, but they won't. Valve hasn't done anything in so long that I guarantee you they consider those passive aggressive messages on the steam page of pulled games is enough.

why is every statement by bobandy not followed with the box art for colonial marines?

Prey was great though.

>In the real world, every time someone says "Vote with your wallet! Don't buy Borderlands 3!" one person will agree and three will say "Oh neat, I didn't know Borderlands 3 was coming out. Time to go buy it."

This. Normies don't give a shit about this.

Doesn't this faggot ever stop for a moment and think before posting? Doesn't he realize that insulting and swearing at your customers damages you and your companies image? If he's that obsessed with being an asshole towards people on twitter, why not just do it on another account that doesn't have his real name?

>Valve hasn't done anything in so long
They are doing shit though. Where does this idea come from that Valve are just sitting back not doing anything?

That's right gamers, the future doesn't belong to steam it belongs to tencent

"Randy and Gearbox have developed a reputation for terrible financial decisions that rivals Double Fine, news at 11."

>if the Epic Store falls flat and releasing games on it with timed exclusivity turns out to be a detriment to profits?
Epic covers the cost if games don't reach their targets so really only Epic will hurt themselves in the long run, not to mention 12% cut isn't actually sustainable in the long run. But if it makes you feel better you can take solace in that even if you pirate their games you really only hurt Epic and not devs

0 care
if it was hl3 now that would be something

It’s okay Randy. We’ll be here for you when you start to make actually good games and Epic fails. How long could it take, right?

>"Oh neat, I didn't know Borderlands 3 was coming out. Time to go buy it."

I the real world most normies aren't even seeing this play out. Dropping the game on Epic store means that a huge chunk of people aren't going to realize that the game is out.

Let's relentlessly shit on the people who buy our games. What could possibly go wrong?

>12% cut isn't actually sustainable in the long run
user, how much money do you think servers cost? Because it's not very much money at all. I want to see your reasoning on why you think a 12 percent cut on a digital distribution platform is unsustainable.

For the record, Humble takes an even smaller cut and still exists.

I wonder how long he can play the 12% card, already in parts of Europe games on the Epic store went from $60 USD to $70 USD.

I don't give a shit about Borderlands 3 or this epic store drama. I buy almost everything on GOG.
Go fuck yourselves.

Mr. Goldberg told me so.

Except you also need to take into account the exclusivity bribes and the guaranteed sales bribes.

If the rumors are true that Metro Exodus sold less than 100k, that means that Epic would have had to pay Deep Silver over 900,000 copies in lost sales if they had guaranteed a million sales.

>pedo
I fucking hate the guy but nobody deserves to be falsely accused like that

Sweeney has quite literally already admitted that in regions where there's any kind of fees, they have to push those fees onto the consumer to break even.
The 12% split is only viable in america

In what world do you know normies that boot up Steam often enough for the front page to matter? Borderlands is going to get advertised on TV and other sites, and its platform will have no effect on that. Steam will only possibly affect long term sales, which publishers don't give a shit about.

Missing in these "conversations" (re: shit flinging) about EGS are their guaranteed revenue agreements. Is that what you guys consider to be a bribe?
