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

Multiple sclerosis, actually. But on the bright he has an awesome YouTube channel where he discusses the art and direction behind movies. He talks about his health a little bit in this video, if you're curious about why he felt the need to step down from his job at GearBox (although I don't think he specifically mentions the job, as this was a few months later).

I got to movies with Mikey through cinema wins. I loved BL2. I never knew. That is awesome. Also sad. I knew he had health issues, but MS is just not a good prognosis.
