don't beat yourself up over stuff like this because if you do then you'd find yourself beaten to death by the sheer amount of stuff we need none the less stuff we want that was made by absolute horrific monster type people.

None of those serious accusations/charges ever stuck to Hardwick, and no solid evidence was really produced either so I can't really judge him on that.

I will however judge him on the fact that he has always been a gigantic loving douchebag with a really punchable face. Like the dude started a Celebrity Bowling show on YouTube just to show off what a great bowler he is, god drat.

Fwiw nothing stuck to Hardwick because the investigation AMC did into his conduct was done by a company run by his mother-in-law.

Also...that kind of rape is the kind of rape republicans complain about and dismiss as "no big deal" police and authority figures everywhere share that same lovely mindset which is why its harder to prosecute those kinds of things. they were in a relationship so therefore anything that happened as long as he didn't hit her was fine. -vomits-

If the partner is not willing but also cannot bring themselves to prevent you from having sex on them. that's still rape though those same authority figures would say poo poo like "you changed your mind but you already agreed so we cant say that's rape" or some other such nonsense.

A lot of things we buy and use in everyday life are made by companies helmed by people of questionable character. A lot of these guys keep their heads down and don't want the drama.
I wouldn't think about it too much. If you start modifying your purchasing decisions based on ethics, you will end up with a full wallet and an empty home

That's a good point but however Randy is not one of these people. He's a chimpanzee throwing his poo poo everywhere.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
Chris Hardwick sounds like a real piece of poo poo, but it was pretty weird that one of her listed gripes against him was that "He said I can't bring alcohol into the house just because he's a recovering alcholic".

Anyway this game looks really fun and I love playing this series, but man everything about Gearbox seems really bad. Hopefully either the game is terrible so I wont want to buy it, or they have an executive culling.

Even she didn't claim he's a rapist, just that he's an 'emotional abuser'.

And, tbh, I followed the whole poo poo storm from the start and the impression I developed at the end was - they had a relationship that wasn't working well, she slept with someone else in the relationship's twilight period, he broke up with her and she just couldn't take being broken up with, so a lot of rationalization and context readjustment happened.

Like, for example, here's a claim from her statement that there was an actual third party witness for. She writes:


The woman who was their con-assigned handler and with them the whole evening in question actually wrote about this, saying that what happened was a) he left them for an hour or two saying he got invited for like a business lunch type thing, b) came back forty-ish minutes later saying he misunderstood the person who invited him (said actress, who he never then dated ) and it was just a small party with no business stuff happening, so he left to come back to them and c) he hung out with the GF and her for the rest of the evening.

And the whole thing is like that.

But ultimately we still agree he told his then-girlfriend to stay in the hotel room and left to meet an actress who, it turns out, didn't want to trade phone numbers?

I mean like, is this supposed to be better than the accusation?

I don't think I've ever seen such a monumental amount of self sabotage on the run up to a game's launch than I have with BL3 and Randy, it won't affect sales much in the long run because things like this never do but it's completely tanked Gearbox's reputation, so thanks Randy for making your dev team get tarred with your poo poo.

Not that there aren't other dev teams that aren't colossal messes. Stardock comes to mind. Makers of some old 4x games. Brad Wardell was the guy's name. Massive tool and liked to harass his female employees. There was a thread dedicated to how much of a jerk that guy was here in Games at one point.

Course, that was... how many years ago? I've no idea what they're up to now.

Right now, Brad Wardell is trying to sue the original creators of Star Control 2 into oblivion for their IP.

Here is their GoFundMe. They go over the situation and they could use the support

For people who have played Rage 2 - does it have a similar feel to Borderlands in terms of gameplay? It's a while til BL3 so looking for something to bridge the gap.
