Kudos to our reader ‘Metal Messiah’ for bringing this to our attention!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

These games are 100% still worth playing if you haven’t already. And they’re currently dirt cheap if you wanna buy, and no spyware store attached!
Put your wallet where your mouth is kids.
But we did put our wallets where our mouth was. Borderlands series has sold 25+ Million copies on Steam and yet they decided to make it Epic Games Store Timed Exclusive and then Randy Orton or whatever that attention w h o r e’s name is says, “makes me want to reconsider Gearbox Publishing’s current posture on the (Steam) platform” because his games got review bombed by some passionate gamers.
Most gaming friends I have never played Borderlands for some weird reason.
Excellent! I’ll now go contribute toward said review bombing of their games.
I just did my part

#epicfail FTW!
Why give a bad review to an older game which is brilliant and already on Steam?
It just means the game will release in April 2020 so what is the problem? Aren’t you guys used to games announced coming out only a few months down the road?
Eh I know it’s kinda dumb. I absolutely despise Gearbox & Epic for their scummy anti-consumer practices. But as you can see from the post I wrote above, I do actually recommend people buy the game. If Epic had a review system or at the very least a forum to chat, I wouldn’t have to do this.
Indeed…

Meanwhile, one of the anti-consumer, Steam-hating SJW activist ‘journalists’ at Eurogamer is glorying in gamers having their freedom of speech somewhat curtailed…

Your other post is waiting for moderation.
It’s pretty obvious really, instead of fighting against review bombing, they should look at why the review bombing is happening.
NPCs received a programming update in the wake of Valve having refused to censor Steam in line with SJW demands.
Ever since that moment the SJWs (PC Gamer, Jim Sterling, Polygon, etc) have taken a collectivist stand to hate on Steam at every given opportunity.
As always, they put their poisonous Far Left ideology before all else. Jim Sterling has ventured so far down the rabbit hole that he’s abandoned his pro-consumer persona in favour of now supporting even Epic Games Store against Steam.
Wow they really care about fans on steam :O I can play it for free on the weekend OMG. GTFO
From the same scammers that brought you Alien Colonial Marines…
Epic, make piracy great again.
“Look how nice and generous we are. Play our games for free on Steam, hopefully we can hook some new suckers into the Borderlands franchise and make them buy Borderlands 3 on the Epic Games Store”
Epic Store – 88% money for developers, 12% for EPIC for unreal engine and store
Steam – 65% money for developers, 30% for Steam, 5% for Epic Unreal Engine
Next step release Unreal Engine as exclusive for epic store. Epic will release Unreal Engine 5 with new generation of consoles in 2020. They can build a great platform for developers. Valve done that few years ago with own Source engine and Steam
Epic Games Store – 100% BAD
Steam – 100% GOOD
On what basis?
Consumer choice.
You can choose: support game developers or give 30% of their money to valve for nothing.
Epic is developer friendly because they still develop own games and own game engine – unrea. Valve don’t do that anymore. Where are games from Valve? Where is modern Source engine?
Are you really that ignorant? How much do you think it costs to develop and support the infrastructure Steam is built upon? Add to that the development of hardware such as Steambox, Steam controller, VR, etc.
Valve license their engine just it’s not used for many big AAA titles. Titanfall games & Apex Legends are source based for example.
Epic stopped giving a damn about PC gaming many years ago, Tim Sweeny is on a narcissistic crusade to use all Fortnite money extracted from kids to buy/force his way back into PC gaming.
Epic even killed the PC Unreal Tournament reboot lest it dare harm Fortnite, Epic do not care one bit.
Sweeny is also nothing more than a pawn for Chinese megacorp Tencent, who have close ties to the Chinese government and want Steam undermined as Steam was a success in China (it was not meant to be as the deck was stacked against it).
When Sweeny (who is getting on in years) retires, who do you think is going to take over Epic, Tencent is.
Wait, is this announced today? Don’t free weekends get more time?
The game have 3rd person now or is that a mod?
Wow, thanks man. I remember wanting to do this the first time I tried to play BL and never got to do it. Good ole WillowGame. Respect, you were always my favorite?
i think that tricks, does not working in borderlands 2 HC EE…. 🙁
how about to add the 3rd person view mode for BD 2 HC EE ?? 🙁
It’s too bad this could never be done for Thief 4. I desperately wanted to pay that game in 3rd person. Because it does have a 3rd person camera and no one could ever seem to set it free. The charged in the game switches to 3rd person when he’s doing wide angled climbing sequences.
