If not that would be absolutely retarded and I just can't imagine Gearbox or any PC company would be that stupid.
Even if those features aren't important to you, Valve has generally shown itself to be favourable to consumers (e.g. refunds) and generally respectful of privacy while Epic through both exclusives and its data slurping has not.
Its also generally annoying to have to manage multiple stores, track where you purchased shit a couple years ago, etc. etc.

Not caught up with the thread yet, but I’m case nobody answered, Fortnite is the first game to ever force Sony into allowing cross platform (or rather, non-Sony platforms) multiplayer. Not sure if they’ve done the same with any other games yet.

Why wouldn't they? PC is the platform and 2k/Gearbox will be handling the servers, not Steam or Epic.

Depends. Previously connections was off of your Steams friend list. Also servers were hosted by players when they made games because of the ability to play solo, then have friends jump in etc.
So i think this could very well be an issue that people are concerned about if they keep it this way. Because of modding and other things that can be done this way, I think it should be kept this way too and don't see why it shouldn't be either. But if friends want to join you, the game needs to interface with a platform of some kind for a friends list.
Looks like it is going to have cross platform co-op. If a 6 month Epic store exclusive is the price to pay to play with my Xbros and PS4bros, I am glad to do it.

I wont be asking for a refund for Borderlands 3
And what? I play games on Origin, uPlay, Steam...it's never been an annoyance to track purchases. "Oh, I play this game on this launcher" -goes to purchase history-, oh look there it is" That stance is less than flimsy.

I've been playing BL2 and I will say the texture pack does make a difference.
As far as exclusives, not really sure how it affects me since I almost never buy games day 1. My preference is always going to be Steam because of the size of the library I got there.

Allegedly, iirc. Although his "defense" wasn't particularily reassuring. Also some shit about scamming money, or being scammed of money, or both I forgot. Shitshow from a couple years ago iirc.
Unless the game is super super good, I'll just wait, not so much because I care about the Epic shit, but because everytime I have to buy some GOTY edition with 25DLCs to play the whole thing later on anyway, so I'll just skip and play later. Like I did with the presequel, which I bought a few days ago in the megapack with the BL2 DLCs that I also hadn't played, so I'll be playing both at some point in the future, when I have time for it. Buying games new is really when I'm hyped about the game AND I have time, which rarely happens. I still haven't played Nier, Nioh, the new Tales or Sekiro for example, probably will catch up some during the summer... If FFXIV doesn't devour all my time.
