‘Borderlands’ game exec compares himself to The Beatles after film flop
nme.comGearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford has compared himself to The Beatles following the release of the flop Borderlands film.Gearbox has had a rough few weeks.
The long-awaited Borderlands film has only made a reported $31million (£23.6million) in box office sales, compared to a budget of $110million (83.7million) and is coming to streaming services to try and recoup some of those losses.To make things worse, the first Risk Of Rain 2 DLC to be released since Gearbox purchased the IP in 2022 from Hopoo has had a disastrous launch, with fans complaining that Seekers Of The Storm is more expensive than previous expansions and is full of bugs, which is affecting every version of the game.
One of the developers went on to admit that the PC version of the game was “in a really bad place” following the launch (via PCGamer).However, ignoring the many issues, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford took to social media to shout about Risk Of Rain 2 and Seekers Of The Storm topping the Steam charts. “We did it,” he wrote on X.“Just because your name is attached to Gearbox, it doesn’t mean you did anything for Risk Of Rain 2.
You ruined the Borderlands movie, the last 2 Borderlands games were horrible, why are you like this dude?” wrote one fan, before Pitchford called them a “hater”.Just because your name is attached to gearbox doesnt mean you did anything for RoR2 you slap your name on it like you did anything u ruined the borderlands movie, the last 2 borderlands games were horrible why are you like this dude.
