I like achievements too...On an old game its cool to be reminded how to kill a certain way...and this can change your game play for any given session...:p

Platform exclusivity doesnt bother me. I already have Origin, Battlenet, Uplay and Steam, so another doesnt cause me any stress. Only takes a couple of moments to create an account so its not something which rates hugely on my faff scale.

Achievements dont interest me either really, unless they are an achievement that gives me some actual reward (like Uplay achievements that give me actual ingame items or uplay points which I can actually use to get discounts on future releases. Steam achievements I find vacuous and pointless in comparison)

I do not mind exclusives when the company makes a game and then puts it out on their store. Like I am not mad at Epic for making Fortnite exclusive to Epic launcher. But the policy of bribing other companies to restrict games only to the currently worst platform on the market grinds my gears.

And yeah it is not a huge bother to install Epic store...but you still get worse experience for same or more money. And if you were like me and used Steam's features like playtime tracking, family sharing, big picture, steam input..then that Epic policy grinds those gears even harder.
 
If I was interested in bl3 I would get it from Epic Store so that's what I voted. I'm not really into bl so if I do pick it up it will be when it is goty on sale from either store.
 
I voted day one on assumption that would be possible for epic users to play with steam users if not ill go with what majority of ocuk players buy it on for the Co op aspect

Yeah, if a person uses those steam features then I can see how the Epic launcher (and indeed other less featured launchers) would be a downer. I dont use the steam features, other than its ability to start a game, so for me that aspect is a non-issue.

This is a good point, not being able to play with non-epic users is the one and only thing which would stop me buying BL3 on day one. I'm guessing that everyone can play with everyone irrespective of launch platform though
 
Got all the others and DLC on Steam so I'll prob just get on Steam later on down the line. I like achievements and keeping as muchbonnone platform as possible.
 
I don't understand the big issue with Epic Store. I am sure all of the big companies are involved in some shady businesses.

I am sure in the next 5 months Epic Store will be updated a fair bit too, if not I may change my mind depending on circumstance.

Why does this matter?

It doesnt particularly, it would just be interesting down the road to see which people who said they will buy it on Epic, change their mind and wait for Steam and which people who said they would wait for Steam, change their mind and buy it on Epic. In terms of how much it matters, the answer is not a jot, think of it merely as something that sates my own personal curiosity rather than something which matters on a universal scale.
