Randy Pitchford is at it again: shares video of animal cruelty on twitter - Sensationalist Headlines

It's already gone, but someone saved a screencap. The video is of a poor cat getting its paw stuck in a crab's claw after their asshole owner forced them to fight. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/563089039184363536/582565090986033192/unknown.png?width=585&height=639 Randy's explanation is equally disturbing: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/563089039184363536/582565171017547777/aBpo1cq.png I'm pretty certain at this point that the dude is a sociopath. Regardless, he doesn't deserve your money, so please either pirate Borderlands 3 or buy a key secondhand once it arrives on Steam in 2020.

Social experiment: how people react to animal abuse his excuses just get more ridiculous lol, “no dude I have that collection of cp for magic trick study bro”

Randy is such a great trainwreck.

"...there's also some other stuff that isn't exactly negative." What the fuck Randy?

Anyone use Wayback machine to verify the images?

the tweet is still on his twitter https://twitter.com/DuvalMagic/status/1132455653858058241

It's a video of a cat getting pinched by a crab and freaking out.

Normally I'd advise against labeling people you don't like as sociopaths but man, that follow up tweet is basically "yes hello I need some labeled human emotions for training data please thank you"

and the original twitter account got suspended thank fuck animal abuse is sooooooooooooooo NOT okay holy fuck

Yeah but the account that posted it has been suspended, the post on Wayback (Feb' 27th) but the video won't load. The post number is 1100856539923963905 for anyone who wants to see the same thumbnail on Google.

Randy is like a never ending trainwreck holy fuck It's something new every goddamn week without fail

Twitter legit just says 'stop being a snowflake' p. much lmao tested the other subjects it lets me b ut not for hateful /abusive content

Just tried to do this myself. Dude literally posted a video that possibly (probably) animal abuse and pretty much said "Not all of my feelings towards this are negative feelings."

Fuck Randy, what about the cat? Is the cat okay?

Randy is in a negative light so much and it's unsettling to me that he doesn't ever have to take accountability for anything. Between the USB, the shit he says, shoving and rage-firing someone, stealing money, now this... How?

Well he didn't post it, only retweeted a retweet of it. Not sure if that's against their terms.

Ok fuck off. I won't buy anything else from gearbox until he's out. That shit crosses a line of no excuse for me. Theres just way too much shit with him already, and this is the last straw for me. I can not give a fuck about his game easily enough.

How? How can Randy be such a fuck up? Has he ever opened his mouth without causing problems? EVER?

I'm pretty sure promoting animal abuse to any degree is against their terms, regardless of him posting it or not.

Or just don't touch Borderlands 3 with a fifty-foot "mysterious USB stick". Don't play it at all. Pirating it sends the message to corporate that you like their work, you just won't pay for it. Refuse to even consider playing it.

He's the CEO of one of the most popular games to come out in recent years. People will buy from him regardless of what he does.

Do what you want to Randy, but leave the livelihoods of hundreds of other hard working game developers out of this by suggesting piracy because one guy is an ass hole.

You mean the hundreds of other game developers who already got paid for their work and aren't getting a single additional cent? Remember, we're also talking about the CEO who embezzled the money from the developer royalty pool, according to the ex-vice president that Randy abused. I can absolutely believe Randy will pull that shit again. He owns Gearbox lock, stock, and barrel. He's accountable to no one.

I'm not talking about the financial side, I'm talking about how he reminds me of that one little kid that acts like a little shit with no repercussions because his parents think he's perfect. Zero self-awareness and gets off scot-free without so much as an apology for anything.

I figured he was a sociopath before, but yeeesh

He's a pure creep.

I really don't envy gearbox's PR team, they must be under so much stress.

Yeah that's what I was referring too, the people with the power to do anything don't see any reason to do so. I must of worded it badly, my bad. I think it's because of my cynical view on the industry and how I feel like as long as you don't stop the money from coming in you're essentially untouchable

He talks like a Batman villain. Or like someone on a Discord I'm on phrased it: "...he speaks like he's the illegitimate lovechild of Oswald Cobblepot and Edward Nygma."

Looks like that too
