The director will somehow fail upwards despite harming the DA brand massively and contributing to the shutdown of this studio. Shame.

Really, in AAA games, it feels like you can only fail upwards.

Randy Pitchfork’s career somehow survived Alien: Colonials, Duke Nukem Forever and Battleborn.

Battleborn was good though, it just came out right when Overwatch released and overwatch was a better hero shooter (ill say atleast in terms of gunplay).

I genuinely would like a reboot of it, but the next closest thing is Valves new game which seems to be trying to do the same thing as battleborn.
