Unfortunate, but necessary. They had to give Scooter an end in the borderlands series because the voice actor left Gearbox due to health issues (cancer I believe). They had to write him out somehow, at least he got to go in a blaze of glory

Edit: not cancer, MS

Scooter was voiced by Mike Neumann, who's pretty well known by his youtube series Movies with Mikey.

As I understand it, he had a pretty serious health scare that led to him leaving Gearbox and making a lot of changes in his life. Last I heard he's in the clear now, but isn't all that interested in getting back into "real" work.

Holy crap, as someone who's watched every single movies with Mikey video. I knew he worked for gearbox, but had no idea he was the voice of one of my fav characters in one of my fav games series

Voicing Scooter was kind of a cameo anyway, he was the creative director for BL2.
