Uh, source? It seems like if this were true he'd be in cuffs.

And my way is, wait a few years for the deluxe edition to come out on sale.

If anyone deserves for his workers to get unionized, it's this asshole

I knew Randy would fuck up the game somehow.

In today's dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.

Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today's dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.

Just some perspective. I'm going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.

Nope, just would play Tiny Tina's Wonderland again honestly, which I got for around $10 when it was heavily on sale a year ago.

Atari 2600 Pac Man is shit lol

Remember how Randy Pitchford funneled money that was supposed to go to Aliens: Colonial Marines into Borderlands 2 (and Duke Nukem Forever lol)

Callender's suit alleges that Pitchford "breached his fiduciary duties by exploiting Gearbox employees and property to fund Pitchford’s private cravings," and one portion of the suit makes two sensational accusations about Pitchford's behavior: that he accidentally left a selection of "underage" pornography on a USB stick at a restaurant, and that he used his company's money to host parties where "adult men have reportedly exposed themselves to minors, to the amusement of Pitchford."

How the fuck do you leave a USB stick full of child abuse material at a fucking Medieval Times and get away with it?

Also, let's not forget the new EULA regarding shift accountsAlso, he made his 'fans" wait while bl3 was only available on the epic store.
Fuck this dude, I am done with the franchise.

How is the game being available make people wait? Did PC get the release before consoles?

I've not heard a single good thing about him. He's just a toolbag through and through.

Laws only apply to us poors.

Seriously, why do they let him talk? The man is a walking PR disaster.

Then again, we should all be asking how the hell he's not in jail for possession of child porn, so I guess this is a pretty minor thing in comparison.

I'm actually OK with games costing a bit more to sell if they cost a lot to make; god knows, the devs deserve to get paid properly. But, one, that money won't actually make it to the devs, and two, any time Randy Pitchford is for something it's really hard not to automatically be against it, on the assumption that he's so consistently wrong about everything, and just such an unbelievable piece of shit, that just assuming he's in the wrong is the safest bet.

Steam customers are out of the loop.
We could access the game through epic store, but it's a separate account, and not everybody has/want one. Hence the wait to release on Steam.

Yet I played it so much I can hear it in my head right now.

bunk bunk ba-bunk bunk! Koik-doik! Koik-doik!

Shit, I waited until BL3 was free on PSN, and I'll get around to it someday.

Weinstein? Diddy? Epstein?

I think the more apt description would be that when you’re got something that makes other people money, then you will be protected. When that ends you’re fair game.

I also agree that the more money you have the better defence you can get, but I don’t believe laws only apply to the poor. That’s hyperbole.

For small indies it makes sense to publish on the pc epic game store a year earlier to get fundet for simply releasing the game there earlier.
A lot of smaller indies used that time as a kind of early access and got later super popular on steam, the main pc game store.

But for a big studio to do something like this is scummy
They already have a playerbase and a big budget
I dont even know if payment was involved but there is no other reason i can think of that explains this
