On a related note: 

Randy Pitchford, CEO Gearbox (developer of Borderlands), tweeted* in
2019 that the Epic Game Store "will outpace Valve’s substantially" and
that "Steam in five or ten years [will] look like a dying store".
Also, "Epic will inevitably surpass Valve on features and quality of
service".

It also amuses me that Gearbox announced "Borderlands 4" yesterday,
doubtlessly expecting that the excitement about the movie would help
to hype up the game. Maybe they should have looked at the daily rushes
before scheduling the game's release date.

These tweets, the movie, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Duke Nukem
Forever... you know, it suddenly occurs to me that Pitchford may not
be the best person to lead a business. ;-)
