If this effects Borderlands 3 I’m going to destroy my basement.

If Pitchford goes down Borderlands 3 might have a chance of actually being funny

What exactly is that a suit for?

I don't think it's alleging the bonus was even illegal.  It's just basically a countersuit claiming he's a piece of shit and has done other illegal shit like CP and all that.   Does the suit say he has proof or is it just a bunch of accusations?

The bonus was for Gearbox as a company not Randy as a person.

My best guess:
- Gearbox is due for a 'bonus' pay-out for their performance from 2K
- Employees probably have some profit sharing scheme. Top level staff gets a bonus based on how much the company profits which is common in the gaming industry
- But Randy wires the 12 million he gets from 2K to himself as a 'personal bonus' instead
- Bonus time is due for everyone else and lo and behold they get a cut out of say $5 million instead of $17 million, because CP Randy has taken care of himself

Which is 'illegal' and damning enough if proven and doesn't make one popular with co-workers and business partners.
So throwing the CP allegations in the mix is just weird and frankly unecessary unless you want to destroy someone.

Can you actually quote where it says any of this?

Sorry not going to read your post, you are a fucking moron.

Quote
The lawsuit alleges that Pitchford struck a deal in 2016 to receive a “personal, secretive ‘Executive Bonus’ 0f $12,000,000 to be paid directly to Pitchford entity called ‘Pitchford Entertainment Media Magic, LLC.’” That bonus, Callender and his lawyers argue, is an advance upon royalties that would otherwise go to Gearbox’s staff. “This is particularly tragic exploitation,” the lawsuit states, “because these millions are being syphoned to Randy Pitchford’s personal accounts instead of funding the development of Borderlands.”

Kotaku headline and era thread title are missing out on all the juice

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kotaku-former-gearbox-lawyer-accuses-ceo-randy-pitchford-of-taking-secret-12-million-bonus-in-lawsuit-gearbox-calls-absurd.92870/

https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1083816663680798720

Is weird that is not in the title given that it would be the first thing most people are leaching on.

I can believe Pitchford laundering money, though.

It says so in the lawsuit.
Quote
Pitchford himself who breached his fiduciary duties by exploiting Gearbox employees and property to fund Pitchford’s private cravings. For example, While Randy was denying ,employee raises predicated on low cash reserves, Randy secretly saddled Gearbox’s employees with the burdenof repaying a private, personal  12M “bonus” that Randy rerouted from Gearbox's Publisher directly to Randy's side entity"

He didn't raise employee salaries because 'low on cash' and they're low on cash because he took 12 million out of the company as a bonus.

It doesn't get more clear than that.

Otherwise ask Kirblar and get the fuck out  :)

This is all a direct contadiction of the last thing you quoted.

Which literally says he struck a deal to DIRECTLY recieve a PERSONAL bonus.
That's because press sneak fuck can't read for shit.

Anyhow its semantics. If I would do this in Europe it would be money laundering.
If I did it in the US it would be making a 'deal'.

None of the above;  he's claiming he exploited his employees.

Which is not illegal;  it's called capitalism.  If there was an actual accusation of lawbreaking it would have said so.

My take on it anyways; as a non-moron.

Maybe it's money rape? Fiduciary fornication?

As other commenters here pointed out his life has fallen apart after his wife and him opened their relationship and she started having sex with other people and he did not have any such luck (with either men or women).

So people say "Thank God I'm not Anthony Burch" because his life sucks but also because before and after this impasse in his life he is a huge asshole

:holeup

So remember, if life seems to shit on you, lost your job, house, girlfriend, or overall things seem to be bad, just remember, at least you aren't a douchebag who flaunts his money to people, can't take criticism for his writing, gets cucked by his own wife and then have that very same wife take your Wii U in the divorce as you remain sexually confused... or at least you're not Anthony Burch.

Wait one fucking minute. This goddamn tool and that forum have no problem casting into Mt. Doom anybody who is even marginally accused of looking the wrong way towards women, mumbling an epithet, what have you.

But NOW, on goddamn Randy Pitchford, they find some semblance of due process? Dafuq?

not sure, rumor is the democrats kkk roots kept going into modern times and the welfare strategy of dependent voters, and drug and crap infested cities is part of their strategy. The welfare state, socialism, is part of their strategy, tax the successful regardless of race or gender so they breed less. They want to promote poverty suffering and dependence on government, buy votes with free stuff and dependence.

Fractions have been using loopholes/ambiguity in the constitution to advance their agenda throughout history. Leave the pretense about virtue and justice out of it because you are just using these buzzwords as vehicles to buttress your weak arguments. You want to talk about truly oppressed and marginalized people? What about fat people, ugly people, short people? These are even more oppressed and historically marginalized groups than lgbt/gays. Where is the advocacy for them?

He had already offered tickets and hotel and even said she didn’t have to hang out with him.

So the whole kicking her out for the sex thing is kinda fucked.

He's an ass for kicking her out before she found some alternative, that's true, but turning it into sexual harassment is pretty ehhh unless he tried to force himself on her.

Canceling the ticket is also a dick move but from what I understand did he only threaten this after she got him banned from the event

As a person who sometimes watches GDQ I was wondering where ProtoMagicalGirl was this year, as it* has always been front-and-center in the event and is the primary reason why chat was emotes only in 2017 and then $5 sub only in 2018 and beyond

It appears that it's possible that it* has finally gone a bit too far over the deep end even for GDQ, and despite having a short couch segment has been there just as an attendee this year

We believe that Proto was created to step in for alexis when she was forced to go through ABA therapy.
 
For those unaware, ABA therapy is a {cruel and unethical, if you ask us, and also completely ineffective) "treatment" for the kinds of "social difficulties" (read: differences from neurotypical people that they're frankly too lazy to learn to work with) autistic people have. In ABA therapy, alexis was essentially forced to spend hours Acting Neurotypical - making eye contact, having "regular" conversations (read: forced, uncomfortable conversations with an extremely high emphasis on alexis never being allowed to talk about herself or anything she cares about), etc. This therapy experience was extremely traumatizing for us. We're still learning the full extent of that trauma.
 
alexis couldn't handle this ""therapy"" to the level that her neurotypical therapist and family demanded of her, so her subonscious created Proto to do it instead.
 
As we said above, Proto is the smooth talker, the host and emcee, the pro streamer, the interviewer and interviewee. Proto's strongest desire in life is to succeed, to be the absolute best, and for everyone in the world to know her name (that's a pretty big goal, but hey, shoot for the moon, right?). Proto came into existence not only to play the neurotypicals' game, but to win it - xe came in to play the game better than any of them ever did. Revenge in the form of success. The perfect plan!
 
And so, Proto took over to carry alexis through hell.

>Randy's wife "accidentally" posts a picture of Randy looking like he's about to get pissed on while kneeling in a bathroom
>Randy is obsessed with rule34 and porn of his video games
>Randy is SJW
>Randy is just generally creepy and seems "off"
I'm absolutely not surprised by this pedophilia accusation, it's amir0x all over again. Beware the virtue signalers.
I like seeing Randy get kicked as much as the next guy, but this is the equivalent of "I always knew he was fishy" bollocks, tbh.
distinguished mentally-challenged reasoning.

"I'm not surprised" is not the equivalent of "I always knew".

Male feminist virtue signalers turning out to be huge pieces of shit is a noticeable trend. I don't assume they are all garbage, but when it turns out they are, it doesn't surprise me.

I literally knew this was the intercept and Glenn greenwald before I opened up the thread. It’s amazing what bullshit people make up to try and keep themselves relavent.
I would hope you have known it was the Intercept before you opened the thread since the words "The Intercept" are in the title!

So pitchford actually talked about the USB stick on some podcast

Bizarrely enough, Pitchford corroborates some of the story's details by appearing on a podcast that went live one day after Callender's suit was filed. On the December 22 episode of The Piff Pod, Pitchford talks at length about porn that he enjoys watching, including "camgirl" pornography, in which a host exposes themself to a live feed and takes requests and financial tips from consumers. Pitchford explained that he was "a consumer of this content." He confirmed that he copied a specific video "to this memory stick" to, as he describes it, "work out the method" of how a camgirl host faked the act of female ejaculation. (Be warned: he describes how the video looks in particularly graphic detail.)

"I realized, this is not a sex worker," Pitchford said on the show. "This is a fucking magician." Pitchford, for those unaware, has a vested interest in the field of magicians and owns the magic-focused Genii Magazine.

"This was before I learned I should probably have password-protected memory sticks," Pitchford says, before admitting that he had indeed left a USB flash drive at a Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament restaurant. "Some kid, an employee of Medieval Times, discovered this memory stick, took it home... and discovered secrets of my company and future games in development, and also discovered the pornography. It was 'barely legal' porn. This girl's handle was 'Only 18.'" The USB flash drive was returned to Gearbox, Pitchford says, in exchange for "swag" and video games.

Pitchford claimed that the flash drive arrived at the studio while Pitchford was on vacation, so his executive assistant checked its contents. "Before I know it, I think the entire office looked at it. And there was one piece of content on here. And it never occurred to any of them that the reason why there was just that single porno was because of the magic trick, not because of [pause] I don't know whatever the fuck they thought." Later in the podcast, Pitchford suggests putting this "Only 18" performer "on the cover" of a future Genii Magazine issue.

thread is a good example of attacking (and requesting a ban of) the messenger while also covering your ears/eyes and screaming about how the message is a Russian lie

Sorry, I take it back. I'm shocked that Randy Pitchford would be caught up in a pedophilia accusation. It's totally normal for CEOs of video game companies to _constantly_ discuss their porn habits for years on end.

Reading the Rock article, it's clear it's mostly just the writer editorializing bullshit he's mad about, not Rock. Seems likely that it's just a trash rag (Daily Star in the UK) and this dude complains about gingerbread people and F1 Grid Girls multiple times, then put that the Rock "body slammed" and "raged" at snowflakes as he likely answered a 30 second question on a media blitz where he probably talked to 40 media outlets in the span of an hour.

Probably, but if that's the case he still said it. If his apology video had said "they took one of my answers out of context" i'd be able to respect that as a response. Right now he just looks like a bitch who wants to have his cake and eat it too.
