Borderlands 3 is cracked already, can we get Steam version now?

[Mr Fantastic]

I enjoyed playing all borderlands especially the first one, but don't see myself getting epic store games.

Since the game has been already cracked, can't we get steam version earlier than announced?

[pauls]

Who said there will be steam version in the first place? Borderlands 3 uses epic servers and epic engine, so there is no way around that for you. So even buying it on steam, epic still gets your 5%.

Wont happen, if they break contract I imagine they lose the money as well.

Epic has nothing to do with the drm, even when it comes to steam it might have that spyware in it

Can we get some evidence to this claim?

Not taking sides. Just curious due to the absurd amount of measures that were implemented.

It seems that you're lost ~ this is the BL2 Forum. You want the BL3 main forum to report the Game Crack you've discovered ~ it's here https://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/c/Borderlands-3/l/top

Personally I wouldn't waste my time doing a public post until you can display proof of your report. Otherwise I'd just email the developers with as much as you know. Steam has no comments about BL3 currently although they'd previously indicated they maybe picking it up by April 2020. There are others than EGS carrying the game currently and I believe Google's new service Stadia picks it up in a few weeks' time.

Dedided to do some research on the OP's claim. He's not lying. Such a thing DOES indeed exist.

Though quality wise it's very debatable.

They don't care if it is cracked or not, Epic just wants to destroy every open platform and create a total monopoly no matter the methods or costs.

And as 2kGames has signed an exclusivity-deal with Epic they can not release it anywhere as long as Epic and the contract does not allow it.

Nope and nope - both wrong.

Doesn't Borderlands 3 run on the Unreal Engine? If so it's very much Epic's engine.

Also Borderlands 3 uses Epic's servers for storage. You don't transfer the game from GB itself.

The quality is the same if you are getting it from a real FIT source

From what I'm reading it's not perfect but nonetheless it's very impressive. The amount of security features the game has is mind-boggling and the crew managed to get through that. I'm genuinely impressed with their work.

Same here, it's amazing what ppl can do when they put their mind together, but that might be a bad thing too lol

it was literally announced, that the exclusivity is temporary, it's gonna release in april

Valve is in a sticky predicament,
where it knows it can't block all BL 3 posts and discussions thrown improperly into the BL2 threads,
because they (Valve) don't want to invoke The Randy coming right out and saying, "well p*ss on you, Steam's not getting the game at all now."

So as it sits, moderators have to play nice with all these BL3 trolls,
or else risk becoming another tick mark against BL3 ever coming to Steam.

If Valve accepts seeding a cracked version, would only result in a lawsuit no one wants, as it would potentially mandate all BL material and support is cut from Steam.
None of us want that, so until we officially get BL 3 here, we have to put up with all the "nya nya nya nya nya" taunting from those who went Benedict Arnold over to Epic.

Obviously not, but the winds seem to be picking up nicely today!

Did anyone bring the rum?

[Mr Fantastic]

Valve came out recently saying they would not accept any games on steam if they had been released online longer than 30 days ago, will this apply to BL3?
