      @TimSweeneyEpic So I hate to bother you with a question you probably don't know the answer to , but will we be able to pre-load borderlands 3 and will it release at midnight the night of release. Was going to take off work the next day if that's the case.

      I’m sorry, we won’t have support for preloading in the Borderlands release timeframe.

      So then why is pre-loading for 3rd party titles listed as a shipped feature? Is BL3 not a 3rd party title? Has pre-loading not actually been shipped? I'm getting mixed messages here.pic.twitter.com/Nhnd0oGUpS

      It’s Complicated. We’ve released support for file preloading which is sufficient for some games, but we aren’t certain it’s up to the demands of a blockbuster like Borderlands.

          How do the epic games servers plan to handle everyone on release downloading the game at once?

          They probably count on local Internet end nodes being the bottleneck that they can later state, it wasn't their servers that didn't work when people had suboptimal DL speeds ;-) Preloading isn't just about the servers but also about weak Internet endpoints not getting flooded.

          So then what you're saying is the feature isn't shipped.

          Agile development. "It's shipped. For a specific use-case, without other integrations, with a reduced feature set. But the card is not with us anymore and Jira looks good, so we're on track!"

          Then take it off the list of "shipped features" if it's not finished?

          If it doesn't work for what is probably your highest profile 3rd party exclusive title releasing on your store... Then it shouldn't be listed as completed. Split it in to another task if needed at the very least. Misleading people is how you continue to get consumers ire.
