Thanks to some Japanese-language news sources, we now know the nature of the big Sega reveal that was teased for this week's Famitsu. The publisher is working on some kind of initiative that it's dubbed "fog gaming." While it's not exactly clear what that is--or if it's comparable to cloud gaming services like Google Stadia--according to analyst Serkan Toto, it will likely involve using the guts of arcade machines during off-hours. They'll be good for more than just playing Dig-Dug and Street Fighter now. According to this news source in

Borderlands developer Gearbox Software has joined the chorus in supporting Black Lives Matter and pushing back some of its scheduled plans for Borderlands 3 in solidarity with the movement. In a statement on Twitter, the developer said it's delaying the release of the Takedown at the Guardian Breach update. Additionally, the studio is muting its Twitter channel--with the exception of this announcement--out of respect for "what's going on in the world right now." 2K Games, which publishes the Borderlands series, said it's adding another $1 million USD to the 2K
