    5.6% of [respondents] users said they wouldn’t pre-order [on Epic] knowing it would influence exclusivity, 2.7% said they would.

    They really brought in those big dollars with making Borderlands 3 a timed exclusive on Epic. A whole 9%. Meanwhile, 91.6% of respondents preferred Steam. Bravo, Randy. Bravo.

    Disappointingly, 53.9% still would buy it on Steam if it influenced exclusivity going forward. Even if it is Steam—which has a record of providing better service than its competitors—exclusivity helps nobody.

      Randy’s twitter poll was stupid. He should have asked “if BL3 is exclusive, will you buy it on that platform?” With the options

      • Yes, if it’s steam
      • Yes, if it’s Epic
      • No
      • STFU Randy, your breath smells like farts
