There's no one in the video game industry quite as good as running his own name through the mud as Randy Pitchford, the CEO of Gearbox, creators of the hit Borderlands franchise. How big of a hit you ask? Well, it's a billion dollar brand according to Gearbox's owner, Take Two, who announced not long ago that Borderlands 3 is the best selling game of the franchise! Well that must mean that the developers of the game, who work for lower-than-standard wages in favor of earning big bonuses based on the success of their work must have made out like bandits this quarter, right? ...Right? Oh, they earned a 10th of what they were supposed to? And Randy still got his millions in bonuses this year? And he told the devs if they don't like it, they can quit? Oh. Right. Sounds like business as usual at Gearbox then. At companies that don't suck to work for, like PlayStation, the news is a bit lighter as Sony has announced that all of its employees would be earning their wages as normal during the extent of their "stay at home" policy, even if they aren't actually able to work remotely, going so far as to cover the costs of equipment people might need to facilitate their transition. Groovy! Some things can't be done remotely however, and for these logistical reasons, The Last of Us Part II and Iron Man VR have been delayed indefinitely, and they probably aren't the last games to be hit by COVID-19. There's an exciting rumor regarding Super Mario's 35th Anniversary this week and it involves some big titles making their way to Switch, the prequel to Nier Automata, 2010s Nier Replicant is getting a remaster as part of it's own anniversary, Bethesda bows out of a digital showcase during what would have been E3, and GameStop announces even more store closures.
