However, he believes Epic will rush to add as many features as possible before the launch of Borderlands 3, which will be the biggest new game on the platform when it’s released. 1.Epic現在功能確實比Steam少， 但是在邊緣禁地3發售前可以加速完善功能。 He admits there’s a chance Epic won’t be fast enough to do so. However, apparently, Borderlands 3 publisher 2K was happy with taking this risk. Ultimately, Pitchford said, in a long-term view the existence of the Epic Games Store will be inevitably beneficial to customers and developers. 2.Epic可能沒有足夠的時間做好所有功能， 但是發行商2k很樂意承擔風險。 總之從長遠來看，Epic的存在對大家都是好的。 That’s because Epic has a proven track record (with the Unreal Engine) that they are willing to reinvest significant amounts of money to improve technology over time. On the other hand, Valve often reinvested in other business ventures than Steam. 3.Epic過去用虛幻引擎證明了他們願意花大錢投資技術， 反觀Valve拋下Steam亂搞一堆有的沒的投資。 The Epic Games Store is the first significant threat to Steam and Valve will need to adapt quickly. He believes they’ll do so as there’s a lot of talent at Valve, but ultimately, having worked for a very long time with both companies, he still thinks Epic is likely to come out on top given the respective track records. 4.Epic是Steam的第一個真正威脅，Valve必須快速適應。 他相信Valve可以辦到，因為裡面也有很多聰明人， 但是根據他跟兩家公司長期合作的經驗， 他認為Epic更可能會勝出。 While there are ‘bumps on the road’ now, the Gearbox boss likened Borderlands 3 on the Epic Games Store to Half-Life 2 on Steam, pointing out that this will ultimately lead to breaking the monopoly on the PC digital market. 5.雖然路上還有些小障礙，但是這位Gearbox的老大認為Epic上的邊緣禁地3地位會與Steam上的戰慄時空2相當，這將可以打破PC數位市場的壟斷局面。 At the end of this massive Twitter thread, in a follow-up reply, Pitchford also expressed all his satisfaction at the limited exclusivity period of Borderlands 3 (the shortest so far as all other games will be exclusives for a full year). 6.他也對2k談出來的半年獨佔， 這個至今最短的獨佔期很滿意， 因為他的目標是讓更多人能夠玩到遊戲， 所以希望獨佔時間短一點才好。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 101.10.18.236 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/C_Chat/M.1555295268.A.2C6.html
