Randy Pitchford claims he accidentally blocked Borderlands movie critics.
The cofounder of Gearbox Software spent the weekend blocking critics and then claiming they were “accidentally” blocked.Cofounder of Gearbox Software, Randy Pitchford, has never handled criticism of his creations well and in all the years of him making games, he hasn’t improved in that regard.
“Borderlands is what happens when you order Guardians of the Galaxy off Temu,” Rendy Jones wrote, offering up a score of 0.5 out of five. Users on X took to the platform to highlight that Pitchford had blocked them. Some of these folks had dared have a negative opinion about the Borderlands movie. Mind you while some reviews were a bit nasty, thems the brakes when you’re putting content out into the world.
Ah yes tagging me and insulting me with an entire paragraph broadcast to 690K people is extremely normal behavior and does not at all reinforce anything I said! Thank you for unblocking me sir!!But it got so much worse. Apparently Pitchford also blocked Ki11er Six, a long time supporter of the Borderlands series. Rather than engage with somebody that is clearly passionate about the series and find out why they didn’t enjoy the film, Pitchford just decided to block the creator.
Consensus is that the movie deviates from the Borderlands series too much and instead focuses on telling an original story, with a PG-13 rating. Pitchford has distanced himself from the production of the film putting director Eli Roth into the firing line of critics. Granted, Roth screwed the pooch on this one and is unlikely to escape criticism of the film entirely.One piece of “good” news is that Pitchford said he’s working “extra hard four you on what’s next”.
