Take-Two has confirmed rumors of Borderlands Online's demise, as well as the closure of its 2K China studio and the firing of approximately 150 staff. "We determined that the additional time required to finish current projects at the studio, particularly Borderlands Online, would not yield a favorable return on investment," the publisher told GamesIndustry.biz. The firm also stated that the...

Parting is such sweet sorrow, the Bard once said. And that is especially true when it comes to the departure of beloved community managers. Today we found out that WildStar Community and Creative Content Manager Tony Rey has left both Carbine and NCsoft for reasons and destination unknown.

If you missed the BlizzCon 2015 opening ceremony and the World of Warcraft: Legion overview panel that immediately followed it, you missed some big stuff!
