Apologies in advance if I'm repeating myself.
Despite his behaviour, allegeded embezzlement of funds, and general mishandling of Aliens: Colonial Marines, Randy is left alone for two reasons.
- People really like Borderlands.
- He attacks the right people. ie. He's anti-gamergate, pro-social justice.
Yeah, work-life balance is a good thing in the long run, and the horror stories are obviously bad, but you don't go into game development just because you're looking for a boring 9-5 you can phone in for a paycheck.
I don't think people in upper management of game development are untouchable. I think it's the other way around. Utter pieces of shit that are untouchable due to being in the clique get fast tracked to positions of authority, and then fill the lower ranks with their own. Randy is an exception because he made his name before the clique had that kind of influence, but him maintaining his position with minimal criticism is due to his position in the clique, and publishers don't care as long as he keeps the money rolling in.
Exactly. The same can be said about Anthony Burch, they all know about his casting couch practices (Gearbox, Riot Games) but they're all silent about it, even in the "#MeToo" era.

I didn't know Burch had a casting couch. I know him as a pathetic weasel that had an Anita Sarkeesian tweet framed next to his bed, and his wife leaving him and taking his Wii. It's hard to imagine he'd have the balls to so much as say "Hello" to a woman, let alone have a casting couch, but I suppose that's why he'd need one.
Apparently he used to do it all the time at Gearbox. He would have sex with a female dev or artist and promise to help them get a job at Gearbox (of course the women would never be hired). I've heard that he tried to do the same thing at Riot Games but it didn't work out and that's why Riot and him parted ways after a short time.

remind me why these people care so much about this when they barely play games?
It's never about the games, it's about controlling people and video games are a great way to be subversive.

Cram it in me, baby!
Make games inclusive by excluding everyone who isn't us! And what does the J stand for in that acronym? Journalists?
Reminds me of the guy who did those ultra-Christian movie reviews.
Ok I'll bite. What the fuck is the J in Jlgbt+
wasn't there some lady twitch partner or sth that claimed to be second place at some big tourney for a shitty AAA game and it turned out that she wasn't really second place, but rather the second round looser?

Wow....
So what is the deal with the obsession these fucking people have with the sexual orientations of minors and why it needs to constantly represented in media.
so in another generation or so, Epstein can be seen as a tragic figure and not as a monster.
>Games must be given green-light by an approved journalist before being published
W-wait, what?! This is either fake or something out of the gamedev "union" crap.
Also what's the "J" in "JLGBT+"? I hope it's "journalist".

Sauce on this?
Yeah it's fake. Her twitter banner makes no sense.
None of it makes sense. Demanding the same companies that are slowly embargoing game journalists in a time where Red Bull successfully tosses the socjus crowd into the garbage is a recipe for disaster.
They're in it for money, not virtue. Virtue doesn't pay dividends to investors.
Then again, this assumes people of such stock as loopy loos on Twitter can think farther ahead than a week.

Looks like a parody account.
