This is the biggest title that is launching exclusively on EGS. I wanna know if people are gonna buy it from there or waiting for Steam. For me personally, I'm waiting for it to come to Steam.

I was going to wait, but a mate wants to play co-op, so I pre-ordered the game on GamersGate earlier today. Just the standard edition, though; I'll buy the Super Deluxe Edition come the Steam release.

No, because I'm not really a fan of the franchise. I bought the previous Borderlands games on sale and I'll do the same for this one.

Even if it's on Steam this month, I wouldn't buy it at launch.

No. I like the series but I can wait 6 months.

Also I cant even afford the tons of games coming out this month as it is so I think I can wait until the GOTY edition comes out lol

Was gonna, but then I remembered how much I enjoyed Borderlands, so ended up grabbing it when I could Preorder for a good price. Excited to play it on Thursday.

There are so many games coming out, it's very easy to wait for it to be on deep discount on Steam.

No, but I'm not the biggest fan of Borderlands to begin with. I'll just wait for the Steam release so I can unlock some achievements and share my silly screenshots.

Absolutely, yes. It's been 7 years since Borderlands 2 came out. I'm hype as hell.

People willing to wait for the Steam release probably weren't gonna buy it at launch anyways. These are the same people who probably double-dipped on Monster Hunter World / GTA V.

Going to wait unless I get a major deal on it. Not that I mind buying a game on the Epic store but I have all the other games and DLC on Steam.

Waiting for sure. Not giving Epic any of my money and I'm in no rush anyway.

To start with, I don't see any reason for why 2k and Gearbox has earned preorders for this game.

They took a deal to sell the game on an inferior store with an inferior client, with Denuvo added on top of that. And then they have limited the sites that will have reviews up at release.

Why should we reward any of this with giving them our money before the actual release, before actual reviews and impressions of the final product?

The game is definitely so low down on my priority list, with how they're handling the release of this, that the Steam version will most likely be out already, before I can even contemplate to give them money for this.

Where's the "No, Randy can get fucked" answer?

And even if Pitchford wasn't involved, I tapped out halfway through BL2 and have zero desire to check back in.

No, because both Sweeney and Pitchford are assh... er, individuals of questionable morality and I do not want them to have any portion of my money.

I could seek a Steam key code, from legitimate sources of course, but only if the game comes to be of exceptional quality.

I would get it on EGS but the people I want to play with are getting it on console.

Damn you lack of crossplay!

Between EGS, Pitchford being a dick and Borderlands 2 not being very good, hard no.

I'm not buying it. BL2 wasn't my thing and not too interested in giving Randy money.

However I am curious Will the EGS version play with the steam version?

Sure, why not. I don't mind the exclusivity thing, Steam isn't the only platform I play on lol. I'm not loyal to it at all.

Yep, bought the day it went up for preorder. Doesn't matter if its epic, value, ubisoft, etc. Games are games, if you enjoy it then why does it matter where you get it from. Hell I'd have brought it on gog if it was there.

Not buying it on any storefront since I don't like Borderlands in general. But if I did, I wouldn't mind buying it on EGS.

No, I dont wanna pay full price for it. Most likely it will be better discounted when it gets to Steam.

Looks like a strong year for CoD on PC so I think I'll wait it out.

And it'll be a cold day in hell before I spend $60 on a PC game.

Not sure why you seem to add GOG as outlier there, with it coming with both a superior optional client then most others, and being a DRM free game that you get to keep without interference.

Yup, although probably in December or in January, cause I need to work through my backlog :P

I'm waiting for the Steam version even if I might not even get it, it depends on how good the game is, we'll see.

I did enjoy BL1/2 but it's been a very long time.

I will buy it on EGS, or whichever would had been cheaper. I am not too picky on that front.
