#AskRandy
This morning, the Develop Conference tweeted, “Question for@DuvalMagic[Gearbox’sRandy Pitchford]? tweet us and we’ll put the question to him for the Q&A. Use the hashtag#askrandy.”
Unfortunately for Develop, people on the Internet do indeed have a lot of questions for Pitchford, most of which seem to still involve the disaster that wasAliens: Colonial Marines. Also, that hashtag kind of reads like “ass candy.”
On one hand, Pitchfordstill has a lotto answer forwith regards toAliens. That’s to say nothing forDuke Nukem Forever, or the fact that Gearbox, generally speaking, doesn’t make particularly good games anyways.
On the other hand, Pitchford blessed the world withthis:
Battleborn is: FPS; hobby-grade coop campaign; genre-blended, multi-mode competitive e-sports; meta-growth, choice + epic Battleborn Heroes!

#AskRandyDo you ever look at Creative Assembly’s Alien Isolation and think ‘WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THIS? COLONIAL MARINES HAD MORE GUNS!’
