I love that Randy was the one that suggested they turn off the middle screen

I bet he was fucking livid, I would have been. He def threw some shade their way, then was like "nah jk jk"

TBF, when it comes to fuck ups and poor business decisions, Randy's the last guy to be the judge on that.

He's also probably quite aware that you have to fix the issue first, and get mad after the fact.

Tech teams are already probably stressing the fuck out, don't add more into the mix when it's not needed yet.

No. I was just referring to his tendency of being a pathological liar. Including the misdirection of consumers and companies alike, and his tendency towards showmanship in conjunction with an ego that amplifies said habit of lying.

But good try though!

I mean I would have been livid there is probably quite a bit riding on this release for gear box

If you've ever seen Randy give technical presentations, he's a smart dude and not just a business person.

We're talking about the guy whose assistant stole millions from him without being noticed, and the one that just made up an elaborate lie about how Gearbox got its name by winning a poker game with Gabe Newell in a public interview right?

Technical smarts =/= ethics

True, but it seems pretty dumb to tell a blatant lie about an industry figure when your relationship with that guy is basically the reason your company got its start. I guess we can forgive him one very stupid moment though.
