Borderlands 3 är bara ett av många spel senaste året som haft någon form av exklusivitetsavtal till PC med Epic Games Store, men kan man nog med fog säga att det varit det viktigaste och mest uppmärksammade. Det fick många besvikna Steam-användare att förklara att de skulle bojkotta spelet, men det verkar ha gått sisådär med den saken, för Borderlands 3 har krossat alla möjliga försäljningsrekord sedan lanseringen - och om vi får tro Gearbox själva har Epic rent av dem bidragit till succén snarare än hindrat den.
Det är i en intervju hos GamesInsider som senior producer Anthony Nicholsen förklarar:
"The appetite amongst fans was definitely there, but Epic have been great partners and have done a lot to help us reach new players as well. So I'd say it's a combination of everything that's culminated in the success we're seeing. A lot of that has to do with Borderlands 2. We loved and believed in the game back when it launched in 2012, but I'm not sure we could have anticipated the fandom that's grown around it since then. It's both staggering and humbling and drives us to do what we do the best we can for those fans. That community has definitely kept enthusiasm for the franchise alive, and that's likely encouraged more and more people to give the series a try. Add that to all the work our devs and marketing teams did over the last six months to get the game in front of so many people, and thankfully I think it added up to there just being a lot more Borderlands fans out there now."
