Say what you will about the epic store. They gave me transistor for free. I know which store i like more so far...

Meanwhile Valve released a bunch of updates and fixes for Steam last night.

Thanks randy. Now I’m just going to pirate it :)

XB1 or PS4

Really don't like this attitude at all. The majority of people who are bitching and moaning have some valid complaints such as splitting up gamers into using loads of different launchers (which a lot of people didn't like even before EGS), barebones store layout and lack of community functions and Epic's way of business in general with these exclusivity deals.

Some people are moaning just because it's Epic and they don't like them but there is definitely some genuine concerns about EGS being better than steam for consumers and imo they have a long way to go before they get there. Spend that money on improving your store first

So tired of these Epic vs Steam articles... Like grow up and realize business decisions happen. I get that the vast majority of PC gamers aren't happy with the decisions, but life goes on... Grow up and move on to more important things in life than a game launcher

i wonder what the FTC would say to EPIC's actions, never mind the anti-trust laws in the EU. for a company that isn't a monopoly, it is sure acting like one...

I feel like Randy should have just shut the hell up with this case. The more he talks, the more he invites bomb reviews to Borderlands 3 once it is released on Steam.

Ah, its always these arrogant comments that put me off the most. Im a spiteful bastard. I get he logic of why they're on there or whatever. I get it is just an extra login and platform. But i dont care, shove it up your ass.

Glad I dont play on PC and can have full access to the game on any store I like. This is BS

i dont know what is the problem but i know if i ever buy this game its on ps4 and there will be no problem

Back at you when you see your sales is crap. There are tons of places to buy games to redeem on Steam. Heck, more often than not I buy from green man gaming.

No thanks, I've got 100% achievements on steam for the previous entry. Not gonna buy your game in Epic store

The same thing could happen on consoles. Not that exclusives don't already exist but it could be taken to a whole new level.

So don't like don't buy it

Be careful what you wish for Randy

There’s absolutely nothing that makes the Leif store better than Steam.

The more he talks, the more the hype dies for me.

What he said isn’t that bad. That tagline context is bullshit lol. It’s his opinion, he might be right or wrong who knows. That’s a pretty big claim that epic with crush steam severely but it’s not out of the question. Epic has the resources to do it, money and technology wise.

I’m no fan of this guy, he’s a dick but I can’t hate on what he said here. He chose epic because he thinks it’s the future. It’s up to PC gamers if they want epics console tactics. I wouldn’t be surprised if epic releases a home console to compete there too.

Ladies and gentle Randy Pitchford.

So, to be clear, Steam has treated developers fairly and consistently since it started allowing 3rd party games almost 15 years ago. Retailers like Gamestop used to take 60% of the revenue from a sale. Just for physically selling the game, they took 60% of every dollar spent. If that sounds like highway robbery to you, it's because it was. Valve came along and said they'd do it for 30%, and game developers loved it. Valve, being a game developer, had felt their pain, and offered a better way. Now a highly profitable game developer, who benefited from Steam this whole time, is crapping on it. Whatever. Competition is good, but don't act like Valve hasn't had developer's backs this entire time.

I kinda dislike Randy Pitchford as a person, I mean it's one thing to support crappy things like this, but it's even worst to keep bragging about it and antagonizing the people who you expect to buy the game.

who needs a borderlands 3? i will not pay to play the same thing again, sorry.

I don't bitch or moan, I just head on over to RARBG and get what I want LMAO. I smile actually :) I only support Steam nothing else.

Hahaahahahah console 4 lfie

It's gonna sell like hot cakes. And considering how many people are gonna buy this on console, Randy can do what he wants. Deal with it.

100% agree.

Randy Bitchford seriously is the worst, isn't he?

EA: If you don't like it don't buy it.
Gearbox: Bitch and moan if you want.

Truly some first class dipshits in the gaming industry. What a piece of work these clowns are, wanting people to support their products but can't even address consumers with respect or class. Goofy ass mf's.

Lol looking through the comments steam fanboys are already bitching and moaning hahahaha.

I haven't trusted Gearbox since Aliens: Colonial Marines. Remember all the bs this guy was shoveling at that time?

I'm not gonna bitch and moan, I just won't buy your games.

why do they still allow this tool to tweet ... this idiocy just isnt good for publicity either way :/ its been a shame since the beginning of borderlands that its had to be tied to gearbox and pitchford in general ... your little crusade isnt doing you any favors. just simply say that epic makes more since for your employees and helps ease the financial burden and we're sorry we're going this way and let that be that man jesus ...

I dunno why anybody would disagree with him. I don't understand the insistence that Steam is the place that has to have everything. Nobody would have flinched if Steam added 'exclusives."

My comment gets blocked on N4g for using bad language, yet they allow article titles like this to pass...f**k off.

Look on the bright side guys, you can buy Poo Thrower 2 or My Dad Taking a Shower Simulator from $team while waiting for the amazing Borderlands 3 to end its exclusive run at the Epic Store.

I don't "bitch and moan"... you just don't see my cash until it's on the platform of MY choice. That simple. You need my cash much, much more than I need your game. It's my way or the highway!

I fucking hate Steam. I also hate digital stores that vanish with time.

Nah, mr. Pitchford I'm not gonna bitch and moan, I'm just not gonna buy your game at all, maybe in a humble bundle with steam, MAYBE then, its a pity considering that I fell in love with borderlands ever since the first one, but my pride is more important that your game.

Get em Randy. Epic Store is the best thing to happen to PC in years. All those features and some are coming well before BL3 launches. Everyone keeps pushing fake narratives about the Epic Store. A little of your own research and you see that those false narratives are just that.

Nothing wrong with some competition. Most of the cool Steam loving, Epic hating teens these days were still watching Yo Gabba Gabba when Steam was in its infancy and terrible.

The Epic Store is best for Borderlands 3...right up until initial sales show well below expectation because of the Epic Store exclusivity and this trainwreck of a tweetstorm.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you, Pitchford, not unless you're willing to go hungry and lose most of your teeth.
