That's my understanding as I remember when Borderlands 3 was made an 
Epic exclusive and Tales From The Border Lands was reviewed bombed even 
though it was a completely different developer but heh it had 
Borderlands in the title so that's good enough. Then a clean-up 
happened. How automated that process is I don't know.
