People started quitting, so Randy promised them an “unprecedented company profit-sharing bonus model.” That never got paid—he blamed “higher-than-anticipated development costs and sales not meeting projections.” Borderlands 3 went GOTY, a few dozens millions copies sold.

This was in the middle of the pandemic, and the job market was absolute crap. https://mcvuk.com/business-news/borderlands-3-developer-gearbox-accused-of-reneging-on-staff-bonuses/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago If anyone deserves for his workers to get unionized, it's this asshole permalink fedilink source parent [–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago I've not heard a single good thing about him.
