What We Know So Far About Borderlands 3
It’s been a long time, but Gearbox finally took the wraps off Borderlands 3 at this year’s PAX East and boy did it look awesome. And as awesome as it did look, the presentation was unfortunately scant on details. Fast forward a couple of days later and we’ve learned quite a bit more about the newest entry in the series, with details on characters, weapons, platforms and more. Let’s recap.

I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
Will probably try out Fl4k first. None are jumping out at me like my gunzerker did.

Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
or
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!

Multiplayer joining games. Is it going to work with players on Steam or other places. I really don't want PC players fragmented.

Not sure about cross-launcher compatibility in multiplayer, but I don't think it's ever been an issue between launchers in the past.
Epic Store need more polish...
The exclusives are to build an install base. Nobody, including Sweeney, disputes that. It's a good business move. It is in no way an indicator of a struggling Epic Store- it's been the tactic since Epic released the store.

You wouldn't. You would make jokes about how dumb Epic is for trying to steal Steam's users while providing you with nothing you can't get directly from Steam. So, Epic made sure they have things you can't get directly from Steam, and folks are pissed about that because in the end: you just wanna use Steam, end of story.
There are good points steam users are making Rhoklaw has made some of these points. "So, Epic made sure they have things you can't get directly from Steam" exactly you are right, people are getting strong armed from Epic's Fortnite money, that is the ONLY thing they had going for them. I have put thousand+ dollars in to my steam account over the 10 years I have owned it, not going to just up and walk away from, and they are trying to steal users by doing what? "So, Epic made sure they have things you can't get directly from Steam" <-------- Oh that.
No one was forcing anyone to use steam, but since they have been around since 2004 and I like many others have put so much time and effort in to there accounts and the community's, the workshop content, the everything that is steam. There are reasons people don't want to leave it. Still not being forced, as I have to use battle.net to play D2 or SC2, Origin for Deadspace 3, Mass Effect 3, Apex, Uplay for there games and the point on that being to many launchers. If people get enjoyment out of the Epic store/ don't care what launcher you use then good I am glad you have the ability and the power to accept why you are using that store, as well as being OK with having multiple launchers installed at once to play said handful of games then I am happy for you. It's an argument that is now starting to get tiring and has turned PC gaming in to "console wars"
So all in all, yes. I do just wanna use Steam, end of story.
"You mean, no matter what choices we make, this group of gamers will refuse to use our store because of an emotional attachment to Steam?"
"Yes."
"Then let's move on. In that case, they're irrelevant to our business plans."
I'm okay with your emotional attachment, so long as you don't piss and moan about things like temporary exclusives you won't get to experience until months later, all due to your emotional attachment to a digital storefront. You take the bad with the good, right?
EDIT- it's also disingenuous to claim this is the equivalent to console wars. Epic's storefront costs you exactly nothing; you don't pay for the software, and (save for a very small percentage of users who use Linux) it doesn't require you to purchase any other hardware or software. Not at all the same.
Couple that with the additional revenue the devs get to keep and a more focused selection of titles, and I'm on board.
And a good strategy it is, never said it was not. I also understand that Steam is not the victim, they charge to much for things to be on there store and if what is going on changes that then I will be happy. Because the devs that do put there heart and soul in to the game deserve there earned profit.
It will still be inconvenience for me that I have to wait for this shit to be over for the games to hit steam. Like I said once before on a different artical I will just pretend these games are getting a 2020 release date instead of a 2019 release date. The only game that is on Epic store that disgusts me is Metro because they ripped it off of steam last minute after people waited for it to be released, for the ones that waited for it to finally come out and don't like to pre order find out they are SOL was slightly unfair.
