The latest filing follows months of legal disputes between the CEO and the company's former general counsel.

2k or take two need to fire these bozo already, his a plague at gearbox.

[lptmg]

they have no saying towards Gearbox whatsoever, all they do is publish one of Gearbox's games. That's like saying Activision can tell FromSoftware what to do internally.

[Bleucrunch]

Gearbox is an independent Developer, not much can be done with them as they are their own entity. The best that could happen is TakeTwo not do future business with Gearbox which is just not good business seeing as how Gearbox are pretty dam good at what they do. Gearbox CEO is only hurting his company in the long run of things though as no company wants to deal with another headache company.

[porkChop]

Gearbox is privately owned. Randy is the CEO and President. There's no getting rid of him unless he resigns.

Learn bro lool

[JackBNimble]

If you gamers are serious and want to actually do something about this clown then just don't buy his games ... easy .

This guy is one of gaming's biggest douchebags .

[traumadisaster]

Who cares what he or any of them do, I buy for the quality of the game. I'm not sure how me sitting in my house playing a video game has anything to do with what the administrators do.

When you say gamings biggest douche, he not in my or your circle of gaming, and is in a media/dev article about a devs personal life and we not part of his gaming circle.

I do the same for movies, I try not to hear any of those idiots speak in public and just watch the movie. Same with sports

[HaVoK308]

They are limited due to contractual obligations. More than likely.

[obidanshinobi]

If he makes them money they don't care.
You think these big companies have morals?
As long as his public image doesn't effect sales in a negative way, which it probably won't. they don't care.

[Spurg]

Cant stand that man

[spicelicka]

wow what a mess

[Absonite]

just like my marriage.

[Inzo]

Well.......that was random.

[Eidolon]

random, like my life

[Segata]

Scumbag continues to act like scumbag. More news at 11. How people support this POS is unreal

[EliteComments123]

LOLL

[TheSaint]

People are dumb.

[SamPao]

you know the word "accused" ?

[carcarias]

@HentaiElmo

Don't worry buddy, I still got it ;)

[1nsomniac]

Finally people are starting to realise what a scumbag this guy is!

Now people have to realise that although Randy is the biggest scumbag, Gearbox as a whole is only a small step behind him.

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Huge Borderlands fan, but I just can't support this guy. Literally a piece of garbage.

[Prem8tuaProcrastin8a]

Randy Pitchford is a poster child for vulture capitalism and CEO greed.

[Lighter9]

I bet he wishes he could do a real magic trick and make all of this go away.

[Vithar]

throw him in jail but only AFTER BL3 releases LOL

[Blu3_Berry]

He has people on his payroll so he has nothing to worry about.

[Circuitburnout]

This guy is a real piece of work

[KillZallthebeast]

I really wish randy would just disappear already. I knew he was a pos after talking with him once, however he's managed to be a biggerg sack of human garbage than I originally thought.

[KillZallthebeast]

Lol I assume the disagree either hates me or just thought he was a swell guy.

[KillZallthebeast]

Randy we can't keep meeting like this. Please at least introduce yourself before trying to hit on me.

[Smokehouse]

“There was also the USB drive Pitchford left in a Texas restaurant allegedly containing sensitive corporate information from the studio and its business partners--such as 2K Games, Take-Two Interactive, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft--as well as "underage pornography””

Lmao! What a scumbag.

[CanadianTurtle]

I feel sorry for all the hardworking developers at GearBox, working their asses off trying to make a great game. Meanwhile this shitbag here is turning himself into a PR disaster for the company. Someone should definitely replace him

[Parasyte]

I agree, but I believe Pitchford actually owns half of Gearbox. In order for him to be gotten rid of, the other shareholders would have to force him to sell his shares in the company.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

At this point it's just Randy Pitchford found guilty of being Randy Pitchford. That should actually be a new charge. I just want to enjoy Borderlands in peace.

[SlagWolf]

I’m shocked... no wait the opposite of that

[william_cade]

Pitchy has always been a bit snake-oil that's even with knowing that courts aren't a bastion of integrity. Now we have one corrupt entity calling out another, it's like a Dystopian comedy.

[DFresh]

Gotta love Karma. Lol.

[DVAcme]

I don't know what's worse: greedy CEOs trying to fleece us, or a guy like Pitchford who is just human fucking garbage. I can understand greed, even if I don't agree with it, but being just an asshole for assholery's sake like Pitchford is just makes me angry.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Randy needs to go

[AK91]

I'm not surprised by anything this man is accused of anymore.

[DarXyde]

Randy Lightningrod

[Inzo]

Dont feel sorry for him.......and Im ok with that.

[Iltapalanyymi]

good

[INMATEofARKHAM]

Already earned mine...

[JokerBoy422]

As much of a shady dude that Randy is, it's still odd that there isnt any proof to ANY of the accusations against him...

[Lord_Sloth]

This guy is just literal garbage.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Accused of contempt.... by the opposing counsel is nothing new for a legal civil case like this. Both sides will throw as much mud on the other as they can. At some point they likely will settle on a number and this all will go away.

[Rambokind]

He is contemptible, I'll say that. Never forget, this guy is the brains (lack of?) behind that abomination ACM

[SinisterKieran]

listen, i know this guy is a scumbag POS.
but I love the borderlands games and i can't just not buy it because of him.
