Gearbox Founder Defends Flops by Comparing to The Beatles
Gearbox Founder Defends Recent Flops with a Surprising Analogy
In a bold move, Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford has defended the company’s recent flops, including the Borderlands film and the Risk of Rain 2 DLC, by comparing Gearbox to one of the most iconic bands of all time – The Beatles.
A Surprising Comparison
Pitchford replied to a commenter on social media platform X, stating that even The Beatles had a perceived low hit rate, with only 25 percent of their songs being considered massive hits. However, this statement was quickly debunked by a Twitter user who pointed out that The Beatles’ actual hit rate was significantly higher.
Backlash and Criticism
The recent flops have been met with significant criticism, with the Risk of Rain 2 DLC receiving Mostly Negative reviews on Steam and the Borderlands film performing poorly at the box office. Pitchford’s attempt to defend these failures has only added fuel to the fire, with many fans expressing disappointment and frustration with the company’s recent decisions.
While Gearbox has announced plans for Borderlands 4, the company’s ability to regain the trust of its fans remains to be seen.
