Borderlands' Randy Pitchford defends recent flops by comparing Gearbox to The Beatles


Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford has defended recent flops such as the Borderlands film by comparing the company to The Beatles.

Watch on YouTube Pitford carried on to state he was "sure every song they recorded was done with love and commitment to the art and belief in the quality of their work", adding: "My favourite artists, performers, and entertainers have all made things I didn't like so much." Meanwhile, Gearbox's Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of the Storm DLC - which came out at the end of August - currently sits with a Mostly Negative review average on Steam, with players calling out issues such as bugs and "incoherent" content. "In this next instalment of the definitive looter shooter, players will assume the role of a legendary Vault Hunter as they blast their way through hordes of enemies in search of new treasures to loot on an all-new planet," reads the official blurb.
