Main thing is this provides more information on the nature of the bad blood between Pitchford and Eddings and sheds light on the situation regarding how and when he was asked to reprise his role as Claptrap.
Edit: Eddings was the VP of Business Development at Gearbox from 2005 to 2017 and during that time voiced the character Claptrap in the Borderlands series.
