Smells like bullshit and damage control. IGN would be the people he'd run to. They're so far up the corporate ass they don't care.

Maybe as one of the few outlets to give Isolation a bad review he thinks they'll be his friend.

Neither do the gamers that are nailing him to the cross atm. The people have spoken:

Might not win a trial, but we can sure as hell take you down some way or another.

why can EA just buy Gearbox and fire Pitchford?

Maybe Randy Pitchford is actually a God of a Troll. All his life he HATED the ALIENS franchise and saw this moment to strike at it's heart, the fans. And now this is all insult to injury.
The thought if him actually being competent at something stings so much more.

Oh man, there's some funny stuff in there. I wish I'd known about that Q&A. My question would have been:

"How does it feel knowing that the announcement of Alien Isolation was delayed because they didn't want any of the A:CM stink getting on it?"  :D

this is what I would have #AskRandy - "can I call you 85? I'd enjoy alien 3 a lot more then..."

Randy PitchBitchtheAssford can say what ever he likes to make himself feel better or whatever. Gearbox paid off the right people to get themselves out of this. There is clear evidence that GB lied. Game Trailers with Power-loaders with flamethrowers, battling a queen. The whole fall from operations and then run from the charger and slide under the door, What happened to that? Or the video images of two Conestoga-class ships falling and breaking a part? How about the early game commentary footage showing one thing, and we as consumers get something else on game release. I liked how I saw him in a video joke about how bad ACM was.

We as the community know how full of it Randy and the rest of GearBox. I'll never buy another Gearbox game, nor recommend one. This is the only thing I can do. If Steam had their refund at the time. I think things would have went very differently.

Funny that they thought we would forget by now. Sorry GBX, what you did is unforgivable unless you correct it. And thats the funny part... they can actually correct their mistake but are simply unwilling or to stupid to realise that it is the first step to prevent these public humiliations. Media...learn to use it.

They won't correct it... Randy made comments about "dropping expensive customers," and I think we'd all fall into that category for gearbox (which is their fault). My opinion is, don't release defective products that require expensive corrections in the first place! I don't think gearbox has the foresight to realize that it's probably more expensive NOT to correct things either...

Hemi

No...they won't of course. They should, but never will.

Silly thing, this game industry. While the little man (indie devs) try to keep their paying customers happy with weekly updates of their small games, the big company's go for the quick buck and seem to care less about the dedicated fanbase. Not saying it doesn't happen the other way around, just far less. Also a shame you have people vocally defending this mess on the gearbox forums. I don't know what to think of those people. Either disgust or pity that  they don't use that grey matter in their skulls.

This should have been the game this fanbase was waiting for after all these years since AVP2. Damn shame...

Reading that interview with IGN I bet that Randy Pitchford does a TOOOOOOOOOON of coke.

Oh Hell, yes. 

If you do good by this Community, you get remembered for your deeds and the praise comes for years.   Just ask Scott and Cameron.

...but if you screw this Community over, then it's very unkind for no less amount of time. 

This is true no matter who you are Pro or amateur.  There are fan artists, amateur film makers, game modders and all manner of people  who receive praise for their efforts and such praise lasts for years.   

If a Professional like Pitchford comes along to bless us with big promises during the course of a 6 year development cycle and then delivers rubbish, it's up to him to accept that he's sunk to the lowest level and to accept that the many, many members of this Community are legitimately pissed at his continued deflective attitude.

You deserve this sh!t, Pitchford. Lap it up.  ...or just shut up.   

You're an embarrassment to us all.  You're continued bullsh!t won't be forgotten for a very, very long time.   Especially if you continue to fail to acknowledge your failings and blame the people who are dissatisfied customers.

-Windebieste.
