Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford has declared, "We suck" following the launch of the studio's latest game, Borderlands 4. Why does he believe that? In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, Pitchford said Gearbox's mission is "to entertain the world," and the company is only currently reaching a small piece of the pie.

"Target and Walmart, among other retailers, remain committed partners for...

On Steam at least, Battlefield 6 boasts the most...

Among the damage done was the cancelation of Everwild, a third-person fantasy game that underwent a turbulent development cycle before having the plug pulled on it.
At the time of its cancelation, we'd only ever seen two trailers of the game. Details of the project outside of these atmospheric teasers were...
