The company's success is directly related to how well they can get Randy to shut the hell up.
Randy Pitchford is Randy Pitchford's own worst enemy
Won’t forget when he called us fake fans because we didn’t want to fork over $80-$90
Randy please, this man is already losing enough sleep
Imagine putting heart into something like Borderlands 4 and your CEO is trashing the people you made it for.
"They gave us a volume slider for Claptrap in BL4, when will they give us one for Randy?"
Randy didn't bare his fangs, he bared his whole ass.
"no one ordered the yappy meal randy" is the reason I've been watching you since 2010. comedy gold
saw someone on 4chan refer to him as "rancid pitchfork" almost 10 years ago and i still giggle about it to this day
"This is a premium game for premium gamers" I'll be using that one for years
