    Generalizing some individuals' attitudes to their entire employer is kinda shitty!

    Where does that say it was the Hotline Miami guy?

    I guess I probably should have included that too.

    Not direct confirmation but I can't think of many indie games about beating people with baseball bats.

    Gearbox is alright

    Randy Pitchford maybe gets a little too sensitive about his games (especially DNF, which wasn't even his game to begin with), but on the whole Gearbox is alright.

    It's not a great position to hold, and I'm sure he'd be open to a conversation about it, but when people start handing out death threats, the likely outcome is not for him to decide "Oh, your position has merit and I would like to hear about why you think the way you do!" He's going to double down on his position just like pretty much any other person would.
    I'm not trying to excuse his position, but there was an opportunity for dialogue with his first tweet, and then the situation escalated to predictable results.

    Last time this came up, I sent him an email attempting to be as direct and diplomatic as possible. No acknowledgment.

    edit: Whoops. I am a page behind on this.

    Before getting hands-on time with Duke Nukem Forever, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford talked to us about how the developer became a part of the Duke saga. After some persuasion, Gearbox was offered the keys to the beleaguered game (it has existed in one form or another for over a decade) and Pitchford jumped at the chance. "To us, it felt like Duke can't die," said Pitchford. The Gearbox boss also related his wife's insistence that he take up Duke's cause and that if he succeeded in making it happen, she'd give him – and this a direct quote – a "Chilean Miner." She would "go down the shaft and stay 'til Christmas."

    I think his attitude is pretty fucked, but also that maybe talking about how he has a really backwards attitude isn't really appropriate for a forum based on his website. Didn't we have this kind of thing back when people were dogpiling Ben Kuchera and Tube had to stop the discussion? Considering Gabe is even more important to the site...

    EDIT: To clarify, I don't mean that we should just ignore it. I mean that maybe we shouldn't have posts being just along the lines of "yeah fuck Gabe".

    GOD DAMN IT RANDY PITCHFORD

  • MaximumMaximum Registered User regular
    It is shocking to me that a guy who made a game about beating people to death with baseball bats would probably be out of his damn mind.

    Hey, maybe this is the hidden message of Hotline Miami, bad people make the things gamers enjoy.

    No I don't.
