Randy has a long history of being an insufferable asshole permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 34 points 11 months ago (1 child) Pretty much. Can't remember what he did that ticked me off like 8 years ago. I stopped buying and surprise surprise, got everything after Borderland 2 for literally free or like $2-3 at some point. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Exusia@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago* There was his crashout before Borderlands 2 where Gearbox accepted a boatload of Sega money to help finish Colonial Marines, and instead outsourced the project. Gearbox kept the money in spite of the failure, and allegedly used it as funding for Borderlands 2. (They were sued by Sega for keeping the cash, but later dropped the suit) He also crashed out during the Borderlands 3 leadup. Groped the Claptrap VA 6 years ago because he was tired of voicing Claptrap "as a favor" and when offered normal market rates wanted more because Claptrap is iconic. Pitchford cornered him at the hotel elevator, grabbed the VAs junk and said "youre gonna do what I tell you to" -allegedly. Other than that, about the same time, he left a thumb drive at a Medieval Times that had company secrets and squirt porn on it. Same thumb drive. Brother apparently can't afford 2 thumb drives to keep his porn separate from his company secrets. Pitchford is the problem with Gearbox, but as a whole he's a far cry from being Rockstar or Nestle, so it doesn't cross people's Ick threshold to trigger boycotts. permalink fedilink source parent [–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 23 points 11 months ago He's the poster boy for being successful while being the dumbest guy in every room he enters. permalink fedilink source parent
