Definitely a good idea to hold off on judgement until more info comes out regarding the pedo stuff, but Randy is a slimy dude. I absolutely believe he'd have the twisted idea to rob his employees of their bonus so he'd get 12 mil for himself and call the entity "Pitchford Entertainment Media Magic LLC"

I can't believe he went on that podcast and said what he said. Jeez oh weez. Not much of a filter on him. I'm surprised he still has his job, and also surprised no one made a fuss of that podcast interview.

I'm not a fan of his. I've had a very low opinion of him since colonial marines.

Well it certainly helps that gearbox is his own company so there is no one higher up who could fire him.

The name of that company is the most believable thing, he would 100% name a company something that lame.

Well all the money issues are unimportant now. They need to investigate the pedophilia concerns, and if they turn up false, that accuser needs to be jailed. If true, Randy deserves a very long stay in a prison cell

Still no update on that tweet David made? That's making him look bad and so far everyone involved seems like a bad person.

Huh, I was working on my RE/KH play through tonight.

Wow, this is a new thread I haven't seen yet. Wonder why it's so big. Let me take a loo--OH MY GOD.

I find it hard to believe someone would keep child porn on a usb stick next to their company files. All this stuff sounds so random and made up
Dumber and sicker things have happened.

Remember the failed Kickstarter game Shadow of the Eternals? One of the devs on the team that was going to work on that used work PCs to distribute child porn.

Ah, right. I skimmed the thread but I hadn't read every post in detail. The tone of the last few posts in the thread keep talking about the USB thing as if it was just an allegation in a lawsuit when it seems pretty clear that Pitchford has admitted to it (in some form, at least) on uh... a magic podcast, of all things.

It's probably something worth updating in the OP

I just read about Randy apparently having something he calls a Peacock Theater and what in the fucking hell is 2019?

Basically stealing from employees is bad enough and now there's this porn stuff to boot, wow... this is gonna get messy.

I wonder what's gonna happen to Gearbox and their projects.

Jeff Gertsmann discussing Palmer Luckey during the Hottest Mess deliberations of the 2016 GOTY show:
"Messes don't get much hotter than white supremacy."

Pitchford:
"Hold my beer."

Anything monetary regarding Gearbox should be looked into after what they did to Sega. The perpetual shit that came from Randy during duke nukem and colonial marines was gonna catch up to him eventually.

As long as it's not actual child porn I find it hard to care for any of this.

I bet nobody here is particularly proud about their search history, so stop pretending you're all saints and have never watched porn before.

Again, if it's child porn - to hell with him.
If it's not it's non of our business.

Hmm if Kevin Dent is vouching for the acuser, that's one thing in Pitchford's favour.

Wow I didn't expect that joke to be taken so seriously, and yes I was talking about the character btw, I only brought her up because everyone seems to hate her.

People hate Tiny Tina?? No way man, she was the Dungeon Master of the best DLC ever.

I don't remember much of rhe other DLC's but she was great in this one

Either Randy Pitchford or Schreier are losing their career over this.

Lol no.

Either Randy or the lawyer, but Jason has done nothing wrong.

On the contrary

Who is this guy and why would he claim that someone bribed a reviewer with an envelope of money for a good review? Anyway, people, watching porn featuring 18+ performers isn't a crime.
He's a nasty peice of work, with a habit for threatening to get people fired over nothing on Twitter.

Edit: he did have a hand in Rekoil though.

If it's just some camgirls then it's no big deal. No need to shame him for supporting sex workers. But if it's the other thing--fuck him.

As far as the 12 million goes, I can believe that. Just because of the whole Alien debacle. Dude is obviously dirty when it comes to money.

If this ends up to be all true, Randy is done for good.

What will happen to Gearbox if Randy get arrested? He's the only owner?

What is astonishing to me it's the fact a public profile would share a story about how he was fashinaed by the squirting ability of a camgirl. Why would you do that? I mean, he is 48 years old, how would you think sharing such a story with the public would benefit your image even if the girl was 18+?
It's just awful.
