Borderlands 3 Six-Month Epic Store Exclusivity Cost $115 Million
It was arguably the biggest exclusive deal secured by Epic up to that point, and it probably still is almost two years later...how much did Tim Sweeney's company have to pay so that PC players would have to go through to its store to play Borderlands 3 in the game's first six months, though?
That question can be answered today, thanks to one of the many court documents unveiled as part of the ongoing Epic v. Apple trial...Exhibit DX-3712 is an Epic Games Store 'Performance Review and Strategy' internal document penned on October 25th, 2019, and it reveals the deal cost around $115 million, divided between $80 million of minimum guarantee, $15 million of marketing commitment, and $20 million of non-recoupable fees
The Borderlands 3 gamble ultimately paid off...just two weeks after the game's launch, Epic had basically recouped the advance with $77 million of revenue earned through the Epic Games Store...overall, Epic saw one million and a half Borderlands players on its platform as part of the deals, 53% of which were new to the Epic Games Store
Can't believe this hasn't been posted:
You can lvl to 72 now so you may need to do that first, I just hit max lvl again, now to upgrade the gearOh shit. I haven't touched the game in 6-7 months, but I'd consider going back for some upgraded cartel gear.

Got it. So the Cartel mansion level is now permanently available or is there some new caveat to getting those weapons? The OPQ and Yellowcake are still my favorite B3 weapons of all time.
I turned on the Cartel event and now I have to re-find the coordinates. Is it doing this for everyone else or is this possibly because I initially played it with a friend that unlocked the mission during the initial event?
If I were to start over, I'd probably try and get the OPQ and Yellowcake as soon as that level became available.
The vast majority of weapons are just randomized junk with an occasional gem you'll end up using for like 15 straight levels. They released a pile of good weapons for the Cartel Mansion free-DLC mission roughly 2 years ago. Nearly every weapon that unlocked via that mission ended up being the best of its class and several of them were the best in the entire game. Nothing before or after has come close, even after they nerfed most of them. That's been my issue with the game ever since. It's like they lost the will to make new/unique weapons that were actually intentionally strong. The full-size DLC's and even the other free stuff doesn't come close. If I were to start over, I'd probably try and get the OPQ and Yellowcake as soon as that level became available.
They buffed a lot of weapons, and there are some great ones around, been doing a playtrough using mostly the Hellwalker which was good fun. Currently giving the Bekah a go although you can't get that anymore.
Good to know. I have a vault full of the best versions of every gold drop I ever got. I probably have 200 different items in there, but sometimes when they buff older gear they don't account for certain effects. I figure I'll probably revisit the game sometime next year. I've tried to go back a couple times and just didn't feel like playing after a few minutes.
Does this mean they will wash Tina mouth out with soap ?Gearbox's Randy Pitchford Steps Down As Gearbox Software President
Gearbox Software has announced that former chief technology officer Steve Jones will now serve as the new president of Gearbox Software following a leadership shuffle...Gearbox Entertainment co-founder Randy Pitchford will still serve as CEO and President of the Gearbox parent company and shift his focus towards film and TV as the president of the newly-formed Gearbox Studios
Basically, the video game development wing of Gearbox responsible for games like Borderlands will now be run by Jones...meanwhile, Gearbox’s parent company, Gearbox Entertainment (which was acquired by the Embracer Group earlier this year) will still be overseen by Pitchford...

Yes, the game is very much co-op focused.I haven't played BL3 since last year, want to fire it up on my RTX-380 and 34" Ultrawide.
Anyways, is there anything new in this game in the apst year? Can I do CoOp with my son if we wanted too? Buy the game for him, and can we both play through the single-player together?

100%. The one thing this series really nails is drop-in co op. No brainer with kids and teenagers because of its younger audience focused writing style and narrative. You will have a blast.I haven't played BL3 since last year, want to fire it up on my RTX-380 and 34" Ultrawide.
