pivot_root, do games w Randy Pitchford asks fans if they'd swallow future Borderlands exclusivity deals, almost 10,000 people say just put your damn games on Steam

5.6% of [respondents] users said they wouldn’t pre-order [on Epic] knowing it would influence exclusivity, 2.7% said they would.

They really brought in those big dollars with making Borderlands 3 a timed exclusive on Epic. A whole 9%. Meanwhile, 91.6% of respondents preferred Steam. Bravo, Randy. Bravo.

Disappointingly, 53.9% still would buy it on Steam if it influenced exclusivity going forward. Even if it is Steam—which has a record of providing better service than its competitors—exclusivity helps nobody.

deltapi,

Randy’s twitter poll was stupid. He should have asked “if BL3 is exclusive, will you buy it on that platform?” With the options

  • Yes, if it’s steam
  • Yes, if it’s Epic
  • No
  • STFU Randy, your breath smells like farts
fluxion, do games w There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps

This is going to turn into a cult at some point

Arguably as far a small minority of fanboys are concerned, it already has cult-like properties.

Where does a young man get this free health care? I’m not young anymore, but for free health care I can pretend to be…

Borderlands games aren’t good enough for exclusivity deals. Nintendo’s aren’t, either but in their defense, you don’t have to try very hard to entertain an 8 year old.

Gerudo,

Gatekeeping gaming brands, are we?

How dare I, a middle-aged person, enjoy Zelda, Mario, Splatoon, Donkey Kong etc.

If I were gatekeeping, I would’ve mentioned companies that don’t use shotty business practices and their profits for frivolous lawsuits as alternatives.

I was calling out dumb, impulsive consumers. You here for the convention?

Doesn’t matter if you wait a year or two to get it at the non-hype price with full content included

I’m just here to say my god, that article was horribly written!

If this is what humans are cranking out, maybe I should reconsider my opinion of LLMs.

Fucking don’t. Put them on GoG.

Other than GOTY edition of the first game, this entire series has LAN (so far), which is commendable and stupidly rare! I hope the GOTY edition doesn’t show that they’re nixing this for BL4 as well.

joyjoy,

Just don’t make exclusives. Steam, GoG, Epic, whatever.

As a father of two young men… Good!

Healthcare is a right. Especially in the richest nation in the history of humanity.

Donkter, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

Yeah! We gotta give people the choice to work or die due to lack of medical care! That’s never been done before! What’s that called?

alekwithak, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

I’d love to play some video games, anyone know where I can find some of this free healthcare?

peteyestee, (edited )

State Medicaid. Just make sure you keep your wage under the limits.

Don’t do this… But that’s what he means.

Sell drugs or have a hustle on the side and get more money. /S

It’s the same game from the street to the big businesses. Big businesses and rich people just make charities and get offshore bank accounts to rape our economy.

MyNamesTotallyRobert,

Looking forward to the federal thc hemp ban. Then I can grow weed for huge profit margins, quit my real job, and actually sit around and play video games without giving anything back to society all day like he’s accusing us all of doing. Wish they’d make alcohol illegal too. We have enough dipshits in congress for this to happen after they do all this horrible stuff and then get angry when non of it accomplishes what they think it will accomplish. Moonshine is even easier to mass produce than weed and like 4000% easier to get away with.

Buske,

It’s much worse than that, They have the entire US stock market rigged to so the same.

LOL, Says the guy mooching off all of us for free healthcare and a paycheck.
