Hi, @Noelle_GBX!
Sorry for asking you personally - not sure how to ask whole Gearbox :slight_smile:
Simple question - if I buy BL3 in Epic Game store - will I get a Steam key upon Steam release of the game? I would like to avoid re-buying it twice (sorry, Im willing to pay money for game and DLC, but not for 2 copies of the game). And adding it just as external game will mean that I won’t be able to probperly use overlay, get achievements and etc.

Thank you in advance!

Well, yes, on one hand. On the other, some games (sorry, just can’t remember exact names), which are heavy rely on netplay, gave keys to those who already owned non-steam version. That would be quite logical, to be honest. Steam and EGS are not platforms - they are just stores. Platforms are PC, PS and XBOX.
I won’t cry about 2k and GB going to EGS - it’s up to them to descide and calculate risks and profits. But I would feel, well, quite disrespected as a dedicated fan of the franchise, if I’ll have to pay myself for their descision only to be able to play comfortably.

Either way, I (for one) will appreciate playing Borderlands 3. I’ve had fun with the first two and I don’t see BL3 being the opposite of that experience.

It’s good to be positive and all. But, despite having pre-order in EGS, I’m very sceptical about BL3 now. Battleborn, Pre-Sequel, then EGS and now Denuvo. I’ve seen such pattern waaaay to many times to be optimistic.
