Might be the most insufferable Dev in the industry.
Sure, I won’t play.
I’ve never understood the massive success of this game franchise. I understand the appeal and that many people find it fun, but it’s just never been all that great, IMO. There are so many much better titles out there. I’m guessing it’s early success plus huge advertising budget and/or paid-for reviews.
I like them, personally, and there’s absolutely nothing else that scratches the “I want to play Borderlands” itch. The quality varies a lot by the game, though.
I kinda think there might just not be a lot of good looter-shooters out there. I remember looking for others to play and not having much success.
How do you get to be a CEO while being this stupid? Even if he was right, has he never heard the elementary phrase “the customer is always right”? Or more accurately, thousands of customers?
You might want to look up the actual meaning of the phrase. It might apply here but not in the way you think. This isn’t early 20th century Sears.

Since when been intelligent is a requirement to be CEO?
Wealth, high social status… has nothing to do with competence.
It mostly has to do with how much money you start with, who you know, and dumb luck.
Don’t forget a complete lack of shame!
Much like the disappearing middle class, the game development market has shifted away from firms of every size and scale to two extremes: countless small indie devs and few massive corporations.
The CEO is confident that you can’t get what they offer anywhere else, due to lack of competition at their scale, so it doesn’t matter how well the game performs: people will still buy it.
That’s… a bold stance
This Randy fellow is sure good at public relations.
It’s almost like this hasn’t happened for the last several Borderlands releases. Like people just keep forgetting the company lies and produces sub-optimal trash at launch.
