Since we now know that Borderlands: The Pre-sequel will be our first AAA same-day Linux release be sure to pre-order it, and check out this latest video!

I can't wait to try out playing as a combat claptrap, hah, that sure does sound amusing. What do you guys think?

All the more reason for me to really hammer some hours into Borderlands 2 to finish it before the release. You guys will want to know what we think of TPS when it's release after-all right? I best get saving my pennies to grab a copy of TPS when it arrives.

You can pre-order using GameAgent the store run by Aspyr Media (the guys porting the game).

It releases on the 17th of October on Steam. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

are there benefits to preorder?
Yes. It ensures that you get a copy on day one. In case Steam runs out of copies before you get there on release day.
aL 6 Oct 2014
In that case ill probably just wait. This is a very announced release... im sure they got hold of enough copies for day one
Maokei 6 Oct 2014
Can't wait to play as claptrap :P

And u pay for something thats not done, and therefor u give developers money for something u dont fully know what it is.
And also, developers can put out crap deals like, if u pre-order u get a unik gun and a hat, extra levels. Yes this has happend, Activision is one of them.
ANd they can also create a bad game in general. And they can still gain money on it and get away with it.

Not saying pre-sequal are a bad game. I dont got a clue really.

I would suggest u to wait untill TB or any other big youtube takes a look on it.
Pre-order in general is not good for gaming, the community and the future for us gamers.
And is a great risk for u as a consumer.

I understand the borderlands hype, I cant wait myself :).


TB explains this really good = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf5Uj4XIT1Y

Remember To Pre-order ![](http://www.frplegal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/cash-paid.jpg)

Again, as a few of us pointed out, NOT the first AAA game with day one Linux support. That goes to UT2004. It had a Linux installer on the DVD/CD's.
Beamboom 6 Oct 2014
I don't preorder out of sheer principle, but it'll be mine day one for sure.
Orkultus 6 Oct 2014
Steam release date says Oct 14th ;)
micmon 6 Oct 2014
I would gladly preorder this but given the amount of games I need to play first I will probably wait for the GOTY
Breeze 6 Oct 2014
Broke my preorder rule and my promise I made to not by any more games until I played the ones I have. Thanks Aspyr :P
Teal 6 Oct 2014
Preordering games is bad and shouldn't be done.
Imants 6 Oct 2014
Never pre-order anything! Pre-ordering must disappear! Only buy games after reading some reviews.
hidekin 6 Oct 2014
I'll not preorder it but i'm looking forward to this game :-)
I never preorder anything.
titi 6 Oct 2014
UT3 teached me to never preorder anything until there is a working linux version available for real!
edo 6 Oct 2014
$60 for a single game (no dlcs?) It's a lot of money, and money doesn't grow on trees ;)
If this game is like a mod of B2 (using same engine) then I would think it should be cheaper.
But for those than have enough money, its great than they make an investment in the future of linux as a gaming platform, devs has to know that we are willing to pay (but in my case not $60 for just a pre-order)

I was hoping they would revamp the clunky interface (or at least make it more mouse friendly). All in all, it seems like more Borderlands with more content; which is what they do best. However, I don't see it demanding to be played any sooner than the rest of the extensive BL2 content making it worth it to enable pre-order culture. That said I'll probably pick it up down the line :)

Well, I preordered Metro...
dude 6 Oct 2014
I preordered, though I didn't like Borderlands 1. But I like BL2 and the Linux support for TPS on day one even more. So why not show Aspyre a little love after Civ V and BL2 and PREORDER NOW!
TrontheTechie 7 Oct 2014
I never really pre-order out of principle, but I did. If it runs well, in a week I'll buy the season pass too.
