Poll: Views on Gearbox?

[DirgeNovak]

I don't particularly care for Borderlands (not bad, but not great either... too grindy for my tastes), and Duke Nukem Forever and Colonial Marines are shit. So Gearbox wouldn't be very high on my list of favorite devs even if they weren't assholes. Or rather led by an asshole, Randy Pitchford, who deserves all the scorn in the world for his reaction to criticism. He never acknowledged the differences between the infamous hands-off demo and the final product, instead accusing those who criticize him of whoring for attention. Or simply ignoring them.

Gearbox will not see a penny from me as long as Pitchford will have a job there.

Well Duke Nukem wasn't really their fault, I mean the game passed trough a lot of developers, but Aliens Colonial Marines is unforgivable, not because it's bad, but because the way they showed the demo and it was very very different. So I think bad, because I like Borderlands but those are not mind blowing.

Yeah... it's not so fun following him on twitter for SHIFT codes...
I've seen some stuff man. Some douchey, douchey stuff.
