Hardcore Gamer "Gearbox Software's Battleborn is going to take ideas from the amazing Borderlands franchise to a whole new level of massive multiplayer online battle arena gameplay. A special update from the developer details the modes and features that is sure to make Battleborn one of the biggest first-person shooter releases of this era."
Ed writes: This past weekend, Battleborn was finally shut down by Gearbox and 2K. Let's look back at a game that deserved a lot better.
It at least deserved them moving it to a solo-able option post server shut-down, IMHO.

Game preservation is important.
Single-player campaign should always be offline. So that some part(s) of a certain game still lives through and can be enjoyed later.
Always Online games will always end up like this at some point. Offline SP campaign should ALWAYS be included.
Thinking that games ( and in particular this one ) will forever be lost, it makes me sad.
Battleborn will shut down on the 31st of January 2021, so let's revisit its ill-fated history and discuss its surreal departure.
One of the funnier game i played with my friends. I like that one of the reason it failed is that it had many reviews like the one you did; criticizing the gameplay because it's 'too complex': because it had a skill tree and because there was different classes... My personal analysis of its failure is beacause of the Blizzard PR team: they saw a threat in it , and decided to kill it by paying professional reviews and counting on their fanboys to bash it and create a fake 'comparaison war' with it. The saddest thing is that this game will disappear forever. It casts, as others in the same situtation, a dark shadow on the future of video gaming. Hopefully there are and still will be 'pirates' to save and archive these for the future generations, that i hope will someday realize that consumerism is not the only solution.
This looks pretty fun. Reminds of Borderlands (made by the same developer) and Destiny.
Intrigued. Looks like it'll have it's work cut out going up against Overwatch though.
This looks pretty good. Very similiar to Borderlands, just in a different franchise
I'm a gearbox fan. This game intrigues me. If its not free to play, if its a legit $65 game and it it has limited DLC (if any) then its got my vote and my dollars.
Looks fun, but since demos don't exist any more I wont know what this plays like until I see some gameplay being streamed.
This seems to be a first person MOBA which I welcome. I like the idea of it. This and Overwatch have my interest piqued and I do like the artstyle.
