I certainly wont be picking this up until April 2020 when it's expected to be released on Steam. I'd then expect to pay no more than £19.99 but I feat they'll use that launch as an excuse to charge another £39.99. I deleted my Epic account and flushed all that Chinese shit off my PC this week and will never buy anything from the Epic Store. It's sad to see developers/publishers doing this - it may be attractive financially with a small cut and an Epic backhander but for the gamer it's a fucking disgrace. The Epic platform has less features than Steam did back in 2003. Embarrassing.
I do like the look of Borderlands 3 but Pitchford, 2K and Gearbox are a match made in hell for trust and bad industry ethics. Randy is the biggest bullshitter out there and 2K love microtransactions so much, they tell their own players to write to the Belgium government and beg them to change the law so they can continue selling lootboxes. How could we forget Battleborn too. So far I'm still very interested in the game but I fear there is more controversy on the way.
