And the fact that Epic couldn’t cobble together a content delivery platform that supported preloading before BL3’s release.

And the fact that they used Steam essentially as an advertising platform until the TOS was changed.

As someone who sunk hundreds of hours into each of 1 and 2, the staggered launch felt like it did so much damage to player base as well as player interest. Felt like when I was interested in it none of the old hardcore raiders I used to play with were and vice versa. And thats after I was the one to crawl to epic because I was afraid of missing out that sweet endgame co op high I got from 1 and 2.
