Oh for sure dude, I think the game will still be good, and I won’t deny that a quality product is something to admire. The problem is the platter it is served on :). I’m sure everyone loves a good product, hard to deny that. But the controversy over this isn’t about the game, but rather the client and the decisions that led to it being an exclusive on EGS.

Also, nice reference to the Scooter “That’s like a unicorn” quote. Honestly, this is a default pic, but still, nice :P.

I still support the BL franchise, but I just don’t support EGS, simple as that. I can wait for the 6 months, I’m just not particularly happy about the wait. In fact, I will probably wait for Steam to hit me up with that summer sale, or maybe a nice winter price.

I identify myself as a lesbian nietzschean. Thank You.

I am not going to wait, that’s all. I am pretty sure most players won’t wait, because most people just don’t care about EpicStore and it’s fine.

That’s life.

More like sarcasm many times does not translate well over the internet as text.

Hey look on the bright side, this ordeal brought a lot of new people to the forum. Way more than it will lose i’d think. Just kinda funny how they all show up when something goes wrong. Not before, you know to talk about the games or builds or share borderlands stories or knowledge. Oh well they obviously love the borderlands series or else they wouldn’t be so mad right?

Corporations have flaws. Can’t be held responsible for their actions same way like individuals. Can’t be talked to and questioned like individuals. Yet prone to corruption and problems, for they’re run by individuals. So now when BL3 is announced to be exclusive on Epic Store there is nothing people can do, for there is no single person responsible for it and single person that can answer for all of it. How do you not get a distrust and skepticism towards corporations?

Am I getting too tired or what, because what I’m interpreting from you is that corporations must not be criticised and that people needs to keep blind eye to any problems.

People shouldn’t be blind. I am just asking to base your judgement based on facts and evidence from both perspectives.

Also, keep in mind that if security issues(or any other deal breaking issues) will be a real deal here, then 2K and EpicStore may face a serious backlash. Although, I am not an IT specialist to say anything conrete about it, so I am just left with waiting.

I think that people are free to make their own judgement. Then other people can make their own judgement on other people’s judgement. If someone is overreacting, then it’s reasonable to ignore it and look for more reasonable arguments.

You are always entitled to your informed opinion.

Opinions of people, who are uninformed on the subject are not that important(which I have both freedom and reason to deny), unless you are playing politics, which I dislike.

Nobody is important but whatever things resonates with you as person. You’ll be stuck forever fighting internet battles in a never ending cycle, for every single person is uninformed in all sorts of ways that’s inevitably continiously manifesting in conversations.

the problem is we ARE informed. Which is why we aren’t buying it on epic. Because it sucks ass.

You are wrong. It’s a god damned terrible ■■■■■■■ thing. No one in their right mind things exclusivity is a good thing, unless that person has something to gain from it. And the only people that gain anything from exclusivity, are corporations.

Its because happy and content people or ones that truly don’t care are far far far less likely to make noise than someone that is unhappy. Happy people, content people, apathetic people generally don’t have a desire for change. Where as an unhappy person generally wants something to change so they can be happy.

@JockinJokey

Exclusivity in the way EGS is acquiring it is a bad thing. You claim to look at the long term or big picture but statements like that lead me to believe you aren’t really seeing the true impact supporting moves like this will have on the industry in the long term if it isn’t snuffed out now and others get the idea that these shady and insecure practices are the way to go for personal success.

I don’t feel that negative publicity angle is true, but it seems like interesting point of view. I mean BL3 would have more infectious effect in Steam environment, when people will actually play and advertise the game through number of social features.
edit: not exactly sure how to articulate later part of my point.

#497

Let’s at least keep this on-topic, folks.

@JockinJokey, @Poisonedbite, move your conversation to polite pms, please.

Or you know, just stop.
