(6/14/2020) NOTICE: This OP is now abandoned.
(5/7/2019) UPDATE: The original voice actor for Claptrap has accused Randy of physically assaulting him.
(5/2/2019) UPDATE: Randy's in shit now for lying about cosmetic microtransactions in Borderlands 3.
UPDATE: Randy is accused of, among other things, keeping a USB drive full of kiddy porn and hosting parties where adult men expose themselves to children.
Randy Pitchford is the CEO of Gearbox Software, a company best known for titles such as Borderlands, Duke Nukem Forever, Aliens: Colonial Marines, and more recently, Battleborn: A game that flopped so hard it was on sale for $20 a week after it launched.
However, none of this makes Randy a lolcow. What makes him truly unique is his online presence on twitter and reddit, which can only be summed up as...bizarre.
Take, for example, his bizarre performance at PAX West last year, where he performed a song called "Nobody Likes a Bigot (Unless He's Crying)" because a twitter account called Science Porn posted a "sexist" joke tweet.
Recently however, his efforts seem to be focused on Battleborn, a subpar FPS/MOBA game released within a week of the hugely successful Overwatch. Battleborn, as of this writing, has a mere 245 active players, with an all time high of just over 12,000.
Randy has tried everything to get this game to sell, including, of course, advertising a rule34 subreddit.
Do note that the subreddit was only 6 hours old when Randy posted about it, and has only one active poster.
Prior to all of this, Randy was best known for lying through his teeth about Aliens: Colonial Marines, and getting into a spat with Jim Sterling, host of the Jimquisition. This led to many angry customers, and even a class action lawsuit being filed against Gearbox because of Randy's bullshit (which eventually fell through).
