Just before the weekend, Epic Games Store launched its first epic sale Mega. On the surface, the offer is quite attractive. The main offer is that for any game sold at the price of £ 13.99 ($ 14.99) or more, the customer can benefit from a £ 10 ($ 10) discount at checkout.
The way the reduction works has made it possible to do business, especially with games that are not much more expensive than the price of qualification. That said, the library of titles available on Epic Games Store is not very large compared to more established places like Steam.
Of course, there are the most expensive titles, the new generation of (available) exclusives available on Epic Games Store. These are usually much more expensive, like £ 37.99 for Control, £ 37.49 for Metro Exodus and £ 28.10 for World War Z. Although these highly anticipated titles are not a bargain with £ 10 off they still represent a decent reduction.
Borderlands 3 – the wrong kind of chaos
If you are looking for Borderlands 3 on Epic Games Store today, you will not find the pre-order page of the game, it has been extracted and can not be purchased. However, you will find that the next page for the game is still available.
Interestingly, at the beginning of the sale, the boss of Gearbox Randy Pitchford Tweets to his supporters, recommending them to take advantage of the $ 10 off sale Epic Mega Sale, in order to pre-order a copy of Borderlands 3 (Tweet deleted).
Then, the pre-order of the game disappeared without explanation. On Saturday, a representative of the publisher 2K Games responded to a request from Eurogamer, which helped to clarify things a little bit. The brief statement, reproduced below, suggests that 2K Games simply did not want to participate in the sale and that there was obviously a communication problem.
"We are working closely with Epic and have temporarily removed Borderlands 3 from its storefront, and we hope the game will return soon to Epic Games, and the games purchased during their Mega Sale will be honored at this award."
At least, some people managed to grab the pre-order from Borderlands 3 for £ 39.99, instead of £ 49.99, which is the price of the standard PC edition. .
It's not just 2K Games that has had such an attitude towards Epic Mega Sale. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 of Paradox Interactive was also removed sometime after the start of the sale. Kotaku reports that "Paradox chose at the last second – or after the last second, technically – not to participate in the sale". Another missing game, spotted by Kotaku, is the survival of the sim Oxygen Not Included.
