I mean honestly, how can anyone like this man? Even Twitter deemed the video as inappropriate and removed it. Of course he had to give a BS lie to justify his actions.

 

[iconmaster]

Ridiculous.

The kitten could have attacked that crab’s weak point for massive damage.

 

[Stuart360]

When you think the 'man' couldnt be any more vile, he surprises you.

 

[Hendrick's]

The height of class.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Already didn't like him, but for real now, fuck this stupid ass.

 

[MC Safety]

The social experiment excuse is ridiculous. Anyone who may be considering suggesting their boorish actions are a social experiment, heed this cautionary tale.

You're better off admitting you were an oversized asshat and saying you are sorry.

 

[brap]

This dude would totally post cp and give the same excuse lmao

 

[Humdinger]

Quartering covered it, too.

 

[Nymphae]

What a ridiculous tweet. Watching animal abuse makes me "feel negative reactions", but also positive ones such as 'will other people also find this negative?'

 

[DeepEnigma]

This guy is a total narcissistic sociopath.

 

[Kamina]

Can someone summarize the content of the video please?

If Gearbox was publicly traded, that assclown Pitchford would have been ejected a long time ago. As it stands, it’s sad that the leader of the company is an embarrassment to his entire team and genuinely makes it difficult to support and/or root for any product that Gearbox has a hand in.

Like i said in another thread, thankfully i'm one of the few people who could never really get into Borderlands, so skipping Borderlands 3 is a given for me.

 

[Orenji Neko]

Fuck this guy. I love cats and he, as well as the people who made the video in question, are pieces of garbage. Even if I liked Borderlands, I would still be avoiding any further releases from this schmuck.

 

[Stuart360]

I'd love it if gamers united and fucked off Borderlands 3, while making it public the reason being Pitchford. Zero chance of that happening though 'dat Modern warfare 2 boycott pic'

 

[LOLCats]

Ya id punch that guy. Sick a flerken on that motherfucker.

Dude thought it was funny, we know what type of guy that is.

Honestly id be fine if it was human vs crab. But not domesticated household cat.

For all he knows it could cause some serious issues with that cat. Cats are sensitive and I'm sure they have can have extreme ptsd that affects their personalities for the rest of their life.

Its like that gif out there, where people have put a cat on a trampoline and humans are jumping on the trampoline. People think “its funny”, ya look at that cats face... Pisses me off so much.

Here, its not nice at all dude. Basically crab pinches cat paw and does NoT let go until after kitty goes full crazy. Sad.

Not something you post to twitter for fun as the CEO of a major company (or a moderately decent human being)

That shit dose not even make sense. This man will NEVER admit that he is wrong and will always blame others or make up some BS excuse

Some of you guys are acting like he recorded the video.
But then again he's clearly a dumbass to think that posting a video like that would elicit any other reaction in today's outrage-happy climate. Not surprised to see Jim Sterling already on it and fanning the flames lol

Edit: Disclaimer for special folk: I'm not defending the idiot.

So you think it’s funny to see animals put in a position to fight each other ??

Your full quote -

Nice try though.

I don't know how you could have possibly come to that conclusion from what I wrote. But I now understand why you watch Jim Sterling videos to formulate your opinions.

The second part of that sentence doesn't negate the first part.
I'm starting to think this website is skewing.. younger (to put it nicely), because I'm finding myself having to explain obvious conclusions too often lately. Like in this case, I apparently needed to preface my post with a disclaimer that I'm not defending the idiot (despite the fact that I insult him in the very same sentence).
I'm just trying to point out that you guys should probably think twice about dancing to the tune of outrage influencers like Sterling. If you want to boycott Gearbox games then by all means do so, but leave the pathetic posturing for Resetera.

I Ask a legit question. Then you avoid said question and deflect it with “lol you are a Jim Sterling watcher” Very classy, I never accused you of anything I merely asked you a question based on “In today’s outrage culture” posssibly implying you don’t think it was a bad thing.

 

[PennywisetheDancingClown]

I don't get how anything like this could be funny. That poor kitten...

This makes me feel bad for being such a big Borderlands fan.

You can try and weazel out of it but your post is there in black and white.
Oh and being against animal cruelty has nothing to do with 'outrage culture' or PC shite, or SJW shite, especially when its that sleazeball Pitchford who posted the vid.

 

[kingwingin]

With the way everyone was acting over this I thought it was some cat snuff porn.

A crab pinching a cat's paw is next to nothing, the cat will be fine.

Sure, it will, but it could've been hit worse. The problem is that it was staged for laughs.

It's also a kitten.

 

[LMJ]

Me thinks some of you are over reacting, it's a sad video (never like to see animals in pain) but some of you are acting like this is an animal torture/snuff vid...

Pitchers reasoning is stupid, (as is he lol) but this is up there with the dog getting bit on his boys by the turtle vid...very light stuff people

 

[Orpheum]

The video isn't THAT bad, however this doesn't change the fact that the dude is a piece of shit.

I don’t think anyone is going to equate this to the holocaust or anything but the point of this thread is that this man thought it was funny and he deserves to be called out for the person he really is

 

[Mr Hyde]

Someone should share a video on Twitter with Randy Pitchford getting abused. See how fucking funny that is.

 

[DonJimbo]

Randy is the abuse of the gaming industry because of Aliens Colonial Marines i will never forget what he promised but didnt hold

 

[Spukc]

What RANDY HATES KITTENS?

Ok this is just dumb outrage.

Yea it’s pretty dumb that people care about animals

 

[lifa-cobex]

Is he starting to crack?

Lies and absolutely defends Alien Colonial Marines.
48 year old starts moaning like a fucking teenager on twitter.
Now posting shit that wouldn't exactly be good PR when you've got a high profile game coming around the corner.

This isn't normal behavior.

I honestly don't understand what all the fuss is about. It's an animal, not like he posted a video of someone abusing a human child.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Randy randying it out

 

[Stafford]

I met the dude once years ago when Gamescom was still called Games Convention. It was during a press meeting for Brothers in arms HH. Back then he seemed like a real cool down to earth dude, but man, the guy he seems to be based on all his online stuff is just off man.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Great, another day another outrage. Don't you people have anything better to...

<watches video>

...what an absolute fucker.

I think you and Randy would get along well

 

[ComptonJapan]

Maybe, I mean it really depends. Is he a "dog" person? Because I really fucking hate dog people.

No I think he's human, against all odds

I mean, at least I'd find that funny.

Yet i get a permanent twitter ban for saying i would love to see him die in a carwreck while he get's a slap on the wrist.

I wouldn't judge anybody for enjoying that.
