The tone surrounding Lionsgate's quarterly earnings report on Thursday was a somber one, and the studio's CEO didn't mince words when talking about some of its recent missteps.Specifically, Lionsgate's Jon Feltheimer addressed "the poor box office performance of Borderlands," the critically reviled adaptation of the beloved looter-shooter games.

"On Borderlands, nearly everything that could go wrong did go wrong," Feltheimer admitted on the call. "It sat on the shelf for too long during the pandemic, and reshoots and rising interest rates took it outside the safety zone of…

Read moreEA CEO Suggests Company Isn't Interested in Doing an Apex Legends 2
Apex Legends is now five years old, and still going strong. The game is currently headed toward season 23 in early November, and while its player numbers aren't quite at the heights they used to be, the hero shooter still seems to be doing all right for itself. Some companies might be thinking right about now as to how they can refresh and replenish that playerbase with a sequel, but EA CEO Andrew Wilson doesn't seem interested.During today's Q2 earnings call, Wilson stated in answer to an investor question that large live service games such as Apex that reach massive audiences must continue to creatively innovate and update, or they risk losing that coveted top spot. For that reason, he continued, EA recognizes a "need for meaningful systematic innovation that fundamen…

Read moreWith Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 Confirmed to Be Skipping Story DLC, Fans Are Waving Goodbye and Wondering What’s Next
Insomniac Games made the shock announcement last week that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 won’t get any additional story content, putting to bed fan hopes for DLC.The announcement came in the same breath that Sony announced a PC version of Spider-Man 2 launches in January — one of the quickest turnarounds from single-player PS5 exclusive to PC from the company so far.Since Spider-Man 2 came out in September 2023, Insomniac has released a number of updates for the game, adding New Game+, mission replay, new suits, and more. But fans had hoped that story DLC would give them more of a reason to return to Insomniac's wonderful recreation of New York that the addition of new features. Now, those hopes have been dashed.
