Oh my god it was a sarcastic joke, aimed at the audience in the room.
So he agrees that his own games are shit?
This does not compute.

lol at the sandcastle drivel.
The more I read from that guy the more I regret having bought the Homeworld remake.
Homeworld Remastered sucks? I thought it was supposed to be a pretty good remake :/
It's been on my wishlist a while :/

I have not even played it yet, but I kinda don't like supporting that dude.
As far as I now the Homeworld Remake is ok if your not a hardcore fan of the franchise and expect everything to be working as in the originals (physics-system is busted according to some folks on gaf)
The other higher-ups at Gearbox need to collevtively put a gag order on Randy Pitchford. The more he talks the more he ends up looking completely delusional.
We didn't buy the remake, we bought the originals. The remake is still a LOOOONG way from functioning as it was sold.lol at the sandcastle drivel.

No lies detectedI just don't understand...
They put out medicore WWII shooters that were bested by almost all competing franchises at the time, a busted version of a game that should have been cancelled years ago simply because of how outdated and shit it was, then they outright lie and bullshit their way through advertising a game billed as the "cannon sequel to Aliens" and the final game releases in an unacceptable form and even once those issues were fixed, the game was still awful and not acceptable in any state.
But wait! They did make a new IP with a stolen artstyle, stupid and ridiculous humor and elements from every other co-op shooter and loot dungeon game, and they threw in boring and uninteresting combat and clunky vehicles with an unacceptable amount of DLC and that somehow makes up for all the other efforts they put out that only ranged from medicore to bad?
Why can we throw shit at companies like EA and Warner Bros. for their awful DLC practices when Borderlands releases Season Passes that don't include all the DLC that will be released, Game of the Year editions with only a few add-ons included and on the whole, release enough DLC to make Rock Band blush and we don't say a damn word about it.
What makes that mediocre series good enough to compensate for the fact that on the whole, Gearbox are a terrible studio...
It boggles my mind.
You may know us from such quality games as James Bond Nightfire and Aliens Colonial Marines,
Stopped reading.
Opposing Force was pretty good...I just don't understand...

It wasn't even a vertical slice, the game they showed never existed in any form at all.

Is Randy Pitchford the new Denis Dyack?
This suggests that Gearbox has made great games though, which isn't true.

I see Pitchford being called a liar a lot, what was it that he lied about?
I'm aware Colonial Marines was rubbish, has something to do with that?

If he has any friends one of them needs to tell him to shut the fuck up for good own good
He (along with Gearbox as a whole) lied about Aliens: Colonial Marines. They announced it back in 2006 and told us how great it would be. From the moment footage was shown, it was all lies. Nothing that we or even journalists saw was a real game but footage of something that didn't even exist. No one saw the actual game until the day it came out and it was a complete joke of a game. Plus, Gearbox didn't even really make it but took full credit.I see Pitchford being called a liar a lot, what was it that he lied about?

Yeah, Brothers in Arms was alright and stood out compared to the competition at the time. Let's not throw the fish in with the dynamite here. Borderlands 1 and 2 were also ok. Gearbox is capable of making good, interesting games.Was Brothers in Arms ever really bested, though? Call of Duty and Medal of Honor never made you feel nearly as connected to their story and characters, nor did they allow you to command entire squads or even utilize actual tactics--not even basic ones, like flanking.
I always looked at Brothers in Arms as a unique franchise that stood apart from the rest of the crowd. It sort of carved its own niche in the WW2 FPS genre, and there hasn't been anything quite like it ever since.
The classy thing to do is apologize for the low quality of some of his products and endeavour to do better in the future. That would earn him so much goodwill. Honestly the only product I've ever bought from them was the half life expansion and with this attitude I refuse to buy anything else they had a hand in.

IMO he is the worst public figure in the industry.
I'm not big on avoiding games by certain devs because of something they say but the more drivel that comes out of this guys mouth the more I really don't want to buy another Gearbox game.
I dunno, if you read the full quote vs. the thread title it doesn't seem as bad.
Randy Pitchford is a compulsive liar.
That's the big one that sticks out, he also stole the aesthetic for Borderlands from Codehunters, and he's even lied about where their company name came from:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/17/whats-in-a-name-gearbox-software/
If he's willing to lie about something as innocuous as that, can you imagine how much other BS he's full of when it comes to money?

No lies detected
How Gearbox got a good reputation I'll never understand either
As much as I don't like RP, you should realize that devs and studios steal from one another very often, especially when they can get away with it and save money.
I dont find it surprising to read about a company stealing. He should let his PR people talk for him before he costs his staff their jobs and puts his company out of business.
