It'll just prove that going with Epic first is a great idea, financially.
(Edit: I'd prefer it on Steam, for the record, but I wasn't going to miss out on this one)
If previous games are on Steam (as they are) and this game made more than they did then it stands to reason that Borderlands 3 does not need to be on Steam to be successful. One could even say (though I'm certain this is not true) that Borderlands is more of a success on Epic and therefore Epic is better for sales. (not true but there is a logic there)
What is probably more true is that most people don't care about the Epic/Steam launchers and just want to play more Borderlands.

or they spend more on advertising this time then ever before? I don't remember much of ads on boderlands, but on this 3rd was pretty easy to spot then, plus there was the whole epic/ steam and borderlands 3 pulling after using steam ad, that much did generate a lot of I hate this word but lets call it "awareness" of the game, so it did reach more people this time then before, plus the game now had the whole destiny 1 and 2 to get people from
This ludicrous argument basically seems to stem from bias, unless there are some actual prophets in the Steam community that I'm not aware of.

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

STEAM GOOD EPIC BAD
Dunno what to make out of it tough. I think my tastes start to hugely differ.
This was super hyped and yet is only #23 on Twitch right now.You know how many really bad games made it to #3-5 on twitch a LOT.So it kind of proves the game play is very boring to watch and for myself the game would be boring to play.
I already mentioned that Mayhem implementation is lol pathetic,a super lazy effort or lack of.Streamers were on what they said was Mayhem 5 and were showing no care for strategy or defense,just walk/run right in the face of the enemy and fire off 50 rounds until they are dead.It was the most pathetic game play i have ever seen,way too easy and all because the loot is driving the game not the player.
Then seeing those same colored lights rising from the loot is like the icing on the cake,a huge two thumbs down.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
And on the other side of the coin, those same Twitch features may make the game undesirable to stream. They do, after all, give the audience the ability to spawn, buff, and heal powerful enemies. I certainly wouldn't want to deal with that nonsense.
Aloha Mr Hand !
And using the same thing Aeander said, if anyone disagrees with that, "this ludicrous argument basically seems to stem from bias." Which is pretty ironic considering he was using it in the reverse way.
You should all just come and be complete gun sluts with the rest us. You know you want to, really.
I honestly had 0 against Borderlands 3 beyond it being an exclusive but as the information starts coming out... no regrets on waiting. Might not even bother in April at all at this point (like I did w/ The Prequel).
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
