I was fine moving on after Gearbox. But when my former boss starts mouthing off about various aspects of my employment including “how highly compensated” I was and how “generous” he is, I feel obligated to correct the record.
Conversation
I had a lot of mixed feelings when asked to reprise the role of Claptrap late last year and eventually realized I was willing to put differences aside and do something cool for Borderlands fans with my friends at Gearbox.

I ultimately offered to do it for “free” in exchange for past royalties owed plus an apology for something I’ve never spoken about publicly until now: Randy physically assaulted me in the lobby of the Marriott Marquis at GDC 2017.

Personally, I think Randy’s been on tilt the last few years. He's not the victim he portrays himself to be. I even blocked him a couple years ago for stalking me on social media. Enough is enough.

It's nice not feeling the need to spot any sleight of hand these days or wonder if the card was chosen or forced. I'm happy to be free from the half-truths and full-on deceptions. And thankful to no longer hear people referred to as "muggles" like a con-man refers to a "mark".

As an aside, seems a bit conspicuous that he chimed in on my salary but didn't mention anything about the $12M of revenue he siphoned away from the employee royalty pool. FYI - GBX employees are asked to take lower salaries with the promise of royalty shares.

2K says they won't give a statement regarding an ongoing lawsuit but if the allegation is false then it sure seems a lot easier to just deny it since that's the only reason they're mentioned. The whole thing stinks.

Okay. It's not that I don't believe you. But, is there a police report? Is there hotel security footage? Are there witnesses? Are there photos or medical records? Because, he's going to sue you for defamation now, and you're going to have to PROVE this.

Wow. Can’t say I’m surprised has been a compulsive lier, plays the victim card, try’s to discredit others when it backfires on him, doesn’t like accountability. Sorry you’ve been put in that position by someone who likes running their mouth bad mouthing people. So sad

To be honest Randy has been on tilt since Aliens Colonial marines and he wonders why people jump on him when something controversial happens. Needs to take lessons from and keeps his mouth shut when he does something stupid
Replying to
Yeahh, sorry dude. Now it just makes like you caused this whole shitstorm for a soapbox to make new allegations from.. Where's the police report of the physical assault? And you want royalties for a decade after accepting a volunteer position while collecting a salary? LOL
