Borderlands is criticized on Steam for its exclusivity in Epic Store

SteamSteamed is dedicated to everything related to Valve's computer gaming service.

Yesterday, Gearbox announced that Borderlands 3 will be an exclusive Epic Games Store for six months after its release on September 13th. As if on wheels, Steam users began to reread shortly after the previous games in the series of notable robot shooters. Twenty-four hours later and thousands of negative reviews later, the new Steam Anti-Revision Bomb System has not yet defused the problem.

During the day of yesterday and today, Borderlands 2 received nearly 1,600 new negative reviews of Steam, while Borderlands: The pre-suite was hit with 420 and Borderlands: edition of the game of the year has picked up 320. These games are receiving renewed attention not only because of the Borderlands 3 announcement but also because Gearbox has recently updated the Borderlands Belle Collection with new HD textures and put the series on sale. Yet, just look Borderlands 2The best comments to see what is the negativity.

"I love the game, but I can not recommend it because the sequel will be exclusive elsewhere," reads a highly rated article.

"A disgusting business that insults everyone who bought the game on this site," says another. "Jump."

And then there is one who has only two average fingers with the words "Epic Store" between them.

There is also a handful of positive critics near the top who still express an anti-epic sentiment.

Last month, Valve revealed a solution to Steam's ever-growing problem in Steam: a new system in which a human team digs into a pile of gloomy exams read by an automated program. "Mark the period it covers and inform the developer." Then, they will remove comments from the overall rating of the game and will prevent other comments posted during the same counting period.

Currently, it is impossible to say if Valve has or has not contacted Gearbox, but the company has not yet left any marks nor removed these clearly negative reviews. Borderlands scores of games. Kotaku contacted Valve and Gearbox for more information, but had no response.

It should be noted that these control bombs do not explode Borderlands as much as they sting harmlessly from its cel-shaded hull (which is probably made from firearms). the Borderlands The games are triple-A hits with tails so long that they surround the dang planet, captivating millions of players to this day. Despite bomb reviews, interest in the series seems to be on the rise, with Borderlands 2 Steam, which now has more than 40,000 simultaneous players, is in the top 10 most played games on the platform. The beautiful collection is also currently a best-selling Steam. This is probably due to a number of factors, from Borderlands 3Here is an overview of the new texture packs and promotions that promote them.

Other games, however, could still be reviewed for bomb tactics if latency became an integral part of the new anti-revision bomb system. This could mean lost sales that developers will not recover, even after the scores of their game reviews are erased, not to mention the negative sentiment that lingers in the Steam community. It is good to see Valve rely more on human teams to deal with moderation problems, but failure to act quickly could be a potential drawback. On the other hand, this could simply mean that the company is still solving some problems in a new system. Hoping it's the last one.
