Randy Pitchford is one of the most controversial figures in gaming history.
From Duke Nukem Forever to Aliens: Colonial Marines, from bizarre lawsuits to Twitter meltdowns about the Borderlands movie, Borderlands 4 performance and defending Gearbox failures, to the infamous USB stick scandal — the CEO of Gearbox has built a reputation as one of the most unhinged executives in the industry.
This documentary explores how Randy Pitchford went from a magician and developer on Duke Nukem 3D… to the face of Borderlands, a billion-dollar franchise, the successes and failures that defined the studio, and why Randy Pitchford always seems to find himself at the center of chaos while leaving behind a trail of scandals, lawsuits, and fan outrage. Without ever putting his phone down.
Was he a misunderstood showman? A twisted marketing genius? Or simply the most unhinged CEO gaming has ever seen?
