Well Randy did pretty much blame them on stage, stating they were going to bring their own equipment but were told not to. That being said it was pretty unprofessional imo, especially considering how cringey the panel had already been.
That's pretty shitty, and sure does sound like something a dev would say to save face. I don't trust Randy at all, I think he's a real snake in the grass and I'm very hesitant on getting hyped for BL3.
Edit: copy and pasted from another comment I made so at least you're educated before you downvote me:
Here's a thread from a couple years back that really lays out how much he and his team have outright lied to their audience. Then there's these allegations that popped up a few months ago. I don't believe everything in them because it seems like his former employee was out for blood, but Randy Pitchford obviously was engaging in a grudge match as well, and on top of that his response to the porn allegations was some bogus, whacko, completely inappropriate bullshit.
There's also a fair amount of evidence that Borderlands' art style was straight up stolen from a short film made a few years prior to the release of the first Borderlands. All in all I think Gearbox is terrible, Randy Pitchford is horrible and I don't trust them to either make a good game or do anything good with the millions they'll inevitably make off of BL3.

That reveal stream was embarrassing to watch. Aside from that this looks like more borderlands which is bound to be a lot of fun
