GR: The best developers are those that attentively and actively listen to its fans. Say what you will about BioWare, but they didn't have to make the Extended Cut or give it away for free. 343i Studios also listened, and delivered a new Halo entry that confirms their understanding of the franchise. Both ArenaNet and Arkane Studioes are nominated for different reasons, the former for its prowess in understanding group play in the MMORPG genre and Arkane Studios for creating an original title that alludes to Bioshock without ripping it off.

Take-Two: "We know there have been some concerns from Borderlands fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns."
Gearbox Software discusses Borderlands 4 for Nintendo Switch 2, covering co-op, movement upgrades, and seamless world design.
I like what they say here...And the graphics on the gameplay shown are insane!
"The Nintendo Switch 2 has been a joy to work with. It's VERY POWERFUL. It's an incredible machine in a very tight form factor."
"We don't feel like we're fighting the system. We feel like's the system's empowering us to make the best version of Boderlands 4 we can."

Cancer patient Caleb McAlpine has received VIP treatment from Gearbox Software, following official acknowledgement of his story.
Gearbox has a lot of problems, but one thing they’ve consistently done right is showing appreciation for their fans. Immortalizing Michael Mamaril in the second game was genuinely cool and so is this.
I remember rockstar doing the same thing with red dead 2 I think, that's dope, also shows that us guys just want to sit back have a great time on gems we enjoy
Good thing they went the extra mile and flew him out. We all know about Randy and his love of webcams.
"gets actually" is now acceptable, and published? Wow! Actually gets, is how it should read. I have been reading more and more stories everywhere that are grammatical incorrect. BTW, I thank God for spell check. My spelling is awful. Great news though!
Nice, I should have known!
They've done a lot to grow the relationship with fans. I'm not surprised.
With that much content, love, and easter egg hand jobs stuffed into Borderlands 2; they totally deserve it.
How is Bioware on there as a runner up? Regardless of whether you liked ME3 it still created a fanbase shitstorm the likes of which we had never seen, one so intense that they were actually forced to scrap together a free epilogue dlc to try and placate the fans.
I don't think the company whose only game this year caused that much outrage deserves to be considered for developer of the year...
