If this is how Randy treats his friends. What does this mean for his enemies?

the voice of claptrap was already in a position at the company. he volunteered to do the voice of claptrap in addition to his normal duties. its no different than how rare has workers voice their characters rather than professional voice actors.

>guy voices the most recognizable and popular character of your game series
>won't hire him as a voice actor again now that he is asking a voice actor's pay

Randy is retarded. They paid someone else to do the same job worse. For what purpose?

>its no different than how rare has workers voice their characters rather than professional voice actors.
Well, not technically, since Rare's voices are all just jumbled up nonsense, you don't need to be a VA to make that.
Then again, all they really needed to do for Claptrap is find someone with a really annoying voice.

Because they can pay the person doing it worse less. Randy Bobandy needs a new yacht

>Randy is retarded.
You answered your own question.

What's he referring to with the 12 million payment thing?

>Randy Bobandy needs a new yacht
No, he desperately needs a hit game to save Gearbox from insolvency, which is why they're pushing Borderlands 3 so hard.
He knows retarded casuals just eat that shit up.
It's a shame really, we could have seen Gearbox go under but I've even seen some hype threads for it here. Got I hate stupid people.

Back in days of yore, publishers used to pay developers to make games! Can you believe it?

Saving a couple grand on a mediocre voice actor isn't going to be what makes BL3 a hit or not

>its no different than how rare has workers voice their characters rather than professional voice actors.
It's quite different because Rare employees got paid fucking massive royalties on the work they did.

Chris Seavor walked away from Conker with a payout in the millions.

i thought this guy died 10 years ago

Guess all that epic exclusive money means jackshit

The whole reason to have a publisher is because they give you money up front and deal with distribution/advertising in exchange for a cut of the profits. People think publishers don't do anything but they take most of the risk in games development.

This post implies Randy actually has friends.

i'm sure he has fellow sociopaths he hunts with

Corporate execs aren't friends with each other

How does Randy keep doing it? Is this all just karma for Duke Nukem Forever?

right they just network

this is whats wrong with capitolism
am i cashier at a grocery store and each day i scan about a thousand dollars worth of grocceries but get paid less than a tenth of that per day
so im basically paying my boss 950 dollars a day to work
all publishers need to be shot in the head

You didn’t produce them dipshit. Also,if you’re working register, the customer literally brings it to you, and sets it on a little conveyor belt so you don’t have to overwork your dainty hands. Don’t get me wrong, I hate working register too, but you’re a bitch

You are a fucking dumbass. Publishers are a necessary evil. If you don't have a publisher who the FUCK is going to fund your AAA production?

>expecting to be treated well by your employer
>expecting loyalty if you give people gibs

Don't trust anyone in a suit. Ever.

he framed it wrong, but the fact that some guy just prints money by selling food (a necessity) is retarded

looks like this drumpfie got triggered
the consumer
fucking dumbass

but through out all of human history people had to work to make the food
it doesnt magically appear

The food doesn't just magically appear in the storeroom.
Having run a grocer, at most you get 30% of the sale price of any given item. And that's not counting wages and all other costs

Yes surely someone who takes time to manage stock, and make sure proper supply and demand is kept to generate profit by offering the convenience of a centralized location to by products for your convenience doesn’t deserve in an income, especially if they are the owner who invested their capital expecting a return. It’s pretty easy to understand why this exists user

Given how fucking dumb you are i'm not at all surprised that you work retail.

But please, go ahead, start up an industry to produce all the goods you sell, open a store to sell those goods, then man the register yourself and pay yourself that $1000 a day ROFL

So he did the voice on the clock on an executive salary? Sounds like he was the most expensive voice in that entire game.

The supermarket didn't make the items you're scanning, you fucking idiot.
They had to buy them from the producers and sell it back to the consumer at a markup.
They don't get the full price of everything they sell.

Holy shit what a fucking moron. This is why you work as a cashier.

I've no idea when he was doing the recordings, fucktard

suits get paid to sit around doing nothing
he deserved to not get compensation for his work
voice acting of all things if thats even considered work

Presidents aside, you’re still a retard for thinking oh should be paid more for standing in place for 8 hours with a mandatory break of 30-60 minutes to an hour and think you should be paid as if you produced the food, ordered it, put it on the shelves and then scanned. You’re an entitled brainlet, regardless of whether or not your post is bait. Also anybody advocating for communism or socialism in the states I. The United States is a fucking retard as the proletariat consist of Jimmy Bob and his cousin wife living in a mobile home

The consumer? Alright show me your new video game on the scale of Borderlands 3 you're working on. Don't worry, the consumers will help you out.

stupid bitch

t. has never been near any management position ever

>scan a thousand dollars worth of groceries a day
Jesus christ you must suck at your job if that’s your output. A competent cashier would be doing $5k-6k easily, if not more.

I mean they spend a lot of time on conference calls and in meetings, but most of it is just about telling other people what to do, not actually doing.

Of course it doesn't magically appear. The rub is that some guy in a suit is sitting pretty, writing off 75% of his very expensive meals during meetings with suppliers while a horde of people are working for dirt wages in countries that produce the actual product, and for minimum wages in a first world country. Your average man is getting gouged and fleeced and no one seems to care, or seems to dream that with enough hard work they can ascend to the top of the pile. (which is a feat that can only be done with 1) an already sizeable amount of wealth, 2) a great risk that could prove devastating for the rest of one's life, and/or 3) by being a complete sociopath that will stop at nothing to crush any and everyone to achieve power through money)

I have seen the overhead costs having worked as a meat/deli regional manager. The profits aren't massive on individual sales, but the sheer wholesale/revenue that grocery stores make nets the person with the capital a fuck-load of money.

Once such an operation is up and running, especially with such a simple service (freight is brought in,. put on shelves, and people purchase it). Bringing up "supply and demand" in respect to necessities and others similar products is silly -- some guy owns a company that prints money. He's doing no one any favours by "centralizing" it. Any person with capital would jump at the opportunity to take over if he were to jump overboard, you're giving these people too much credit.

Nobody cares. He needs to get paid or not do it, let him. Fuck's sake, stop with the gamer celebrity bullshit. You're just as bad as ditzy girls who care about Hollywood beefcakes.

i thought the voice actor died of throught cancer and is now making movie review videos on youtube?

You mean upper management. Read the term “management”

No, that was Scooter, and he didn't die of cancer, it just severely fucked up his voice.

It's this btw, keep your cringy /pol/, /biz/ shit to yourselves.

Jesus fucking Christ, were you born like this?

his only friend is money, and if bl3 sells well he will get a million dollar bonus.

>risk in the era of digital distribution and free social media advertisement avenues everywhere
Really activates the almonds

Nah, you're doing alright.
So long as you can live with yourself, that's all that matters.

he makes gay songs about them

Does this suprise you from the man who siphoned funds from sega to make borderlands 2?

I remember Sega taking them to court, did something come out of it?

Reminder that Randy stole Borderlands visual style from Ben Hibon, a Swiss animation director. He contacted for a while and then abruptly stopped at some point during development. If you trust the CEO of Gearbox then you only have yourself to blame.

no wonder Gearbox took money from Epic. Nobody wants to do business with him

>For the first time,
who speaks like this?

Randy needs more money to spend on camwhore video clips.

>literally who wants 12 millions for voicing a character
I'm glad randy didn't fall for his request

You suck at reading comprehension. I hope this is bait.

>it's not even the same guy
Holy shit Randy actually stole 12 million dollars? You guys think he is just a retard or is he actually a criminal? I think it isn't a coincidence so many ex-employees dislike gearbox.

what's stopping you from opening your own store and raking in the money?
