I'm pretty disappointed that the graphical fidelity (framerate aside) is about as good as Borderlands 1.

Graphics fidelity was never a big sell of BL anyway, it is heavily stylized so it is kinda hard to make it look much better. Also I would wait for a youtube 4k video to completely write it off as a BL1 copy.

It's possible, but not likely. You can use UE4 with a 5% royalty, or pay upfront and reduce the engine royalty rate, which I think 2k/Gearbox did the latter. From this point they could've negotiated a reduced royalty for the steam store for PC users. Given this is cross platform and going onto consoles, and by extension into retail, they would want to reduce royalty rates as much as possible to maximize revenue. Royalty rates for console (digital / retail) will still exist if they simply sell the pc copy in the epic store, and I think 50%+ of the copies are being sold on console which is a big problem if you are keeping the royalty at 5%.

Keeping continuity of their brand on PC in the same store would also factor into the decision given that they frequently discount the base games to $5 so people can get a taste of the series for cheap, and buy the DLC at less discounted prices afterwards when they realize the franchise owns bones.

Steam (16-22% = 15-20% platform + 1-2% engine + 1m?2m?)
Epic (12% = 12% store, Epic eats the 5% engine royalty )

Basically it's going on Steam imo.

You forgot to put in the exclusivity payment Gearbox would get. So ya I think it will be at the very least a timed exclusive for Epic Game Store then coming out later on steam.
