Former Gearbox Lawyer Accuses CEO Randy Pitchford Of Taking Secret $12 Million Bonus In Lawsuit

The former general counsel of game studio Gearbox (Borderlands, Aliens: Colonial Marines) and CEO Randy Pitchford are suing one another in a messy legal battle that sees both men accused of violating their legal duties to the company. The suit against Pitchford is full of sensational allegations, including the accusation that the Gearbox CEO received a secret $12 million bonus from publisher Take-Two Interactive as an advance against Borderlands profits.

These are very serious allegations, but i want to remind everyone that you're innocent until proven guilty.

Though, Randy Pitchford always gave me a Shady used car salesman vibe. Curious how things pans out.

porkChop1963d ago

I don't know about the child porn. That's an extreme allegation, so we'll see if there's proof. But that $12 million that should have gone to the devs? That sounds like something Pitchford would do. They were already accused of using Sega's Aliens: CM funding to dev Borderlands instead. He's a snake. Always scheming, and he's been caught lying about stuff many times.

Gearbox isn't doing anything with the Duke Nukem IP & price hiked We Happy Few. I hope they lose.

Randy Pitchford is a scumbag and has been his entire life. This is not a one off!

Is there even one good game created in the Turkey so far?

PitbullMonster15h ago

Metin 1&2 and the Mount and Blade Series are the most known ones.

Michiel198915h ago

Metin ....how dare you name that in the same sentence with the word "good"

Crytek says hi.. learn before posting

Zeke6811h ago

"Crytek was founded by the Turkish-German brothers Cevat, Avni and Faruk Yerli in September 1999 in Coburg, Germany."

So he's right, Crysis games are not made IN Turkey... ;)

Terry_B7h ago

Just as Zeke mentioned..Crytek is a German developer, created by a turkish guy who lives there, was probably born there.

What I meant are games completely made in the country

What is turkish mythology? They don't have a mythology of their own. Unless we are going to rewrite history? Can someone fill us in on what mythology turkey has.

Eonjay5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

It could mean folklore, proverb, or even fairytale like Jack and the magic beanstalk. It could even just be lore about historical figures like you even see in American culture like Jonny Appleseed (a real person whose life story was mythologized).

S2Killinit5h ago

I see. I was thinking in terms of actual deities. But that makes sense.

You know that thing called google. (Or DuckDuckGo, depending on preference 😏)

Have a go at it sometime. It’s good

XDefiant dev promises fix to frustrating hit reg issues, though players remain skeptical

Mark Rubin, XDefiant’s executive producer, responded to an X/Twitter post that fixes to hit reg “are something [they] are working on.” Unfortunately, it’s unclear when it will arrive, as neither Rubin nor the development team have yet to provide an actual time frame.

just_looken1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

Ha man what is this the 8th time they are working on this issue?

SO the game is using division one maps/assets with some divison 2 thrown in with that we can say they never really made the maps so what have they been doing for there 6 to perhaps 8 years of dev time? must be alot of hookers/blow/parties.

Notellin1d 11h ago

It's astounding how much money they blow and this is the results. Gaming development is out of control.

just_looken1d ago

Right even when ubisoft cancelled division heartland as a beta player that game was a far better state then they push with this trash of a game that is still in a beta state after 3 years of delay's.

we are so starved of any decent fps/3rd person shooters out there it seems we will take anything even though some ps2 fps games were more fun then this game in my old opinion.

FPS_D3TH1d 9h ago

Skeptical because it was an issue with ALL the betas and still hasn’t been fixed

just_looken1d ago

Its like they are using division one servers but they caught fire then were put together with barry/carols help from the janitors wing or some shit. Three years they still can not make it so the gun goes boom the guy gets hit then damage is applied.

Time for a change. Football games haven't evolved much.

Cacabunga1d 14h ago

It’s tough when there is no competition

Abear211d 8h ago

There’s PES and now we’ll have FC25 and FIFA so yes, but it is no longer true, shit is about to get real!

Now if we only had two viable options for Basketball and American football we’d be on to something.

MrNinosan1d 4h ago

@Abear21
PES didn't exist since 2020, and the rebranded eFootball is crap.

porkChop1d 1h ago

If what we've heard is true, the reason FIFA games don't change is literally because of FIFA itself rejecting nearly every pitch for new features and mechanics.

The barber shop and roulette wheel are going to be awesome.

Abear211d 8h ago

Pay to win is the new free to play

CrimsonWing691d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

It’ll be monetized to all hell, regardless

StormSnooper1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.
