Randy Pitchford States That Borderlands Actually Financed Other Projects

Some individuals have accused Gearbox of using Sega’s money for Borderlands. However, Randy Pitchford has stated the opposite on his twitter account.

@timmis505 False by a LONG SHOT. Borderlands success actually helped to finance all other projects…

A lot of confusion is going on right now and on the flip side it seems that Destructoid managed to get a hold of a developer, which states that Gearbox actually pulled people off of Aliens: Colonial Marines to work on the first Borderlands.

Furthermore, it seems Randy Pitchford has mainly been responding to positive tweets about the game. Some people got so infuriated over the notion that people were enjoying the game that they accused Gearbox of making fake twitter accounts. However, Randy also denied those claims with the following tweet:

@kristige Some people are claiming that the positive comments I replied to are from fake accounts. I feel like I just woke up in crazy town.

Perhaps the most frustrating part about this whole ordeal is the amount of silence and secrecy that gamers have had to put up with. Most fans just want a straight answer with plans on how to fix the game and move forward. Fortunately, Randy Pitchford did leave a bit of a clue that something may be on the way soon when he said the following:

@kristige I am glad I had time to look at twitter during my flight, but am going to have to get back to moving forward. Learned a lot!

So, hopefully, there will in fact be a plan to move forward and correct the mistakes in this game, but no doubt patience is wearing thin among gamers who purchased Aliens: Colonial Marines.
