But like... it's just porn. Adult fan art. Like, it's a weird thing to do, but it wasn't from the Battleborn or Gearbox Twitter accounts, just his. Reminds me of when Yoko Taro asked people to forward him 2B porn. I just mean to say that I understand that there are things he's done that support your thesis statement, but I don't think that one is really a black mark or anything. Weird, sure, but shaming people for banal links to pornography is odd imo.
It's really nasty, the guy is a knob, but calling him a pedo based on just those allegations shouldn't fly here, especially with how stuff like lazy devs gets stomped out quick. At least wait until there's some solid evidence, before labelling him something so horrible.
Well thinking it's cool an almost 50 year old man looking for "barely legal" porn is cool is certainly a take.
That's not how Randy Pitchford operates. It's not about how anyone or anything else "gains", but rather what HE "gains" from it. Gearbox is his studio, his baby, his birthright. Borderlands is a successful IP that HIS studio created and if HE cannot be in the forefront enjoying all the attention then what is HE doing anything for?
I mean, I don't think you need to have some specific definitive number to say whether or not something is creepy.
If you're a dude in your 50's and you jack it to teenagers you are definitively a creep.
That's a whole lot of folks that watch porn. Barely legal is like one of the top things in porn.
I appreciate and respect your opinion, but my conscience is clear and I don't feel the least bit wrong for having my opinion.
Enjoying attention is an ego trip though. Getting people to listen to your stories and believing them because you have their attention, and then using that to tell tall tales that inflate your own ego more to make your own life sound more interesting and exciting is a real thing. A real Randy Pitchford thing.
There's other ways to get joy from it, he could get joy from seeing the faces of the fans as he shows off his game. Maybe he loves hearing people's impressions when they get their hands on the game for the first time at shows. Maybe he loves doing interviews for the game because hes so enthusiastic about it. Telling a fake story 10 years ago doesn't condemn the man for life.
The guy has a history of shadiness, creepiness, weird confrontational arrogance, and a history of telling of lies. It's perfectly fine for people to wish he had nothing to do with a game they're fond of.
None of that has anything to do with his reasons for wanting to be involved with the marketing of his games. Saying someone has one bad characteristic so therefore they have this bad characteristic too holds no ground. Also I never said it wasn't fine for people to wish that.
A person involved so prominently in the marketing is the face of the game.
I'm not condemning him, I'm saying he has an ego that clearly makes him want to put himself out there. And because he puts himself out there so much, a lot of what he says well.... condemns himself. Which is why the press bags on him so much.
Again I literally said I didn't have a problem with the bolded in my last post.
That's not clear at all though. All I'm trying to say is you don't always have to assume the worst about people.
I'd appreciate it if you'd only jerk it to senior citizens
The fuck is different between underage and "underage"? You said it was explained to me in great detail, but I really don't get the difference.
Men really don't know how to react when you question their precious porn, uh?
This. And fans don't care when told because they like Borderlands.
I'm just ridiculing something dumb someone said. It doesn't have to be about porn.
lol yup. If anything, when you point people on this site are defaming people with accusations like this and borderline crazy, you end up catching a ban for downplaying the behaviour of the (falsely) accused.
