If you thought things couldn’t get any worse, Sam Winkler, Lead Narrative Director for Gearbox Software and Borderlands 3 Lead Writer publicly shows support for Ccrypto’s awful statement about women & children…but why wouldn’t he when the CEO of the Company Randy Pitchford has publicly done the SAME THINGS OVER THE YEARS…
Borderlands 2 is a 2012 first-person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K. Taking place five years following the events of Borderlands (2009), the game is again set on the planet of Pandora. The story follows a new group of Vault Hunters who must ally with the Crimson Raiders, a resistance group made up of civilian survivors and guerrilla fighters, to defeat the tyrannical Handsome Jack before he can unlock the power of a new Vault. The game features the ability to explore the in-game world and complete main missions and optional side quests, either in offline splitscreen, single-player or online cooperative gameplay. Like its predecessor, the game features a procedurally generated loot system which is capable of generating numerous combinations of weapons and other gear.
With the unexpected success of the first game, Gearbox was able to secure a budget of $30–35 million to develop the sequel. Like its predecessor, the game adopted the “concept art style”, which features graphics inspired by both photorealistic imagery and comic-book-inspired visuals. The team attempted to address players’ feedback from the first game, and recruited Anthony Burch who wrote the game’s script which is seven times longer than that of the original game. Among the game’s diverse cast of characters, Handsome Jack, the central antagonist, was created to be a charismatic “douche” that mirrors Burch’s own personality. Borderlands 2 was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2012, and it was ported to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as part of The Handsome Collection in March 2015.
The game received universal acclaim upon release. Critics generally praised the game’s visuals, writing, gameplay, and online multiplayer, as well as its variety of guns, while criticising its mission design and content fillers. The handheld and the virtual reality versions of the game were regarded to be inferior to the console and PC versions. More than 20 million units were shipped upon release and the game became 2K’s most successful release. It was nominated for multiple year-end accolades by several gaming publications. Gearbox supported the game with four add-on campaigns, new characters and five content packs. The game was followed by Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel in October 2014, and Borderlands 3 in September 2019. According to leaks in August 2023 Gearbox Software has officially begun development of Borderlands 4 on the Unreal Engine 4.

wasn't the physical assault case caused by randy being drunk. i may have misremembered it but i believe that may have been a factor for the physical assault happening.
Lmao I left a comment in thicc fil as video about that; "i'm not respecting them as long as those allegations aren't proven false"
Tells you all you need to know MAK. That an adult has to hide behind a disguise to voice his opinions. He is not a man and clearly has no balls. Don't lose any sleep over it J
Got no space or time for adults obsessed with jokes about children sexuality.
Gahdamn mak you ain't killin em. You straight eviscerating
People respect Gearbox??? Since when???
you are the pillar of truth in the BL community. the hero we needed and deserved
All I can say is, It's a damn shame MAK wasn't the one who found that thumb drive at Medieval Times back then.
We would definitely got some true info and some banger vids.
Mak ill be honest. Im gonna need you to give me one good reason to buy bl4 and to continue to support Borderlands? Because they seem evil honestly.
They’ll try n cancel YOU for exposing a battle pass when you had no obligation to keep it quiet, let’s see if they take accountability for their actions
I'm all for sketchy jokes, but holy shit his deliveries of them or abysmal
Gearbox's Lead Writer is not a title I'd wear with pride- I'd be pretty ashamed, and hang my head thusly.
The new u station in borderlands called it we know where they are going .
That's some creepy foreshadowing.
Not to mention if u are a lead writer u don't want to be connected to that shit .
They have no common sense these are the people we have writing are games /producing them . , it doesn't surprise me no more when u have money and influence and they need to be removed from it period.
Sometimes free speech is wasted on people that say dumb shit like this man and no i aint talking about mak i mean who mak mentions in the video .
Respect = dog whistle for toxic positivity . Ironic how that type of behavior coincides with bad writing
You are truly the last man standing you have our full support on this, it’s absurd what’s going on thank you for shedding light on all of these topics truly🙏
He is so disgusting. Little sicko and same with Sam he's a sick fuck too. Crypto talking about beating women, and child trafficing as if its a good thing really disgusts me. I'm a woman and this pisses me off… and then he has the audacity to joke about suicide.
Fuck that Gearbox lead writer! Absolutely disgusting behavior for a developer to engage in! This won't go unnoticed!
I dont even like you that much but im rooting for you cause this guy is so unfunny
Borderlands 2 is the best game of all time, I have over 6000 hours in that game, but they fucked it up with bl3, and killershit is a useless bastard who is an absolute disgrace when it comes to Borderlands? I mean I have never seen him kill a raid boss in Borderlands 2 without using a glitch, he was a zero player but I never seen him beating pyro pete with zero, how does he have fans????
Mans just lit up Randy and his whole crew like they starred in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood… Gawt damn. Straight spraying fire on these fools.
At this point the more MAK continues to destroy these guys publicly, the better they'll have to make BL4 and the more they will be forced to give the community what it deserves. I see this as an absolute win. Give them hell MAK.
Holee cow
The more that seems to come out about gearbox the more I just see that company as the core problem. I feel attacking creators who shill for gearbox is the correct first step but in the end I'd like to see all the people in gearbox that are the major players (including Randy) just pushed out. I've seen video game companies go through internal BS like this and although it doesn't appear to be a big deal, it shows when you start seeing their games coming out.
Forget about gearbox being sold, that company ain't worth shit at this point. They need to just sell or give away the Borderlands IP and all its rights to a company that actually gives a fuck about the franchise.
mak check out k6 repost tweet that crypto posted
Damn dude. I had no idea about that flash drive. What in the world?!?! This shit is VILE. And now some 18 year old finds these comments inflammatory enough for clout? My goodness. No wonder he has to hide his face. In my day, the mention of things like this got you absolutely dealt with privately. Good on you, MAK.
You're still apologizing to the pc police when you did nothing wrong
Sam WInkler is so bad at Story writing. i hope he get kicked out of gearbox because no future installment of borderlands is save with his awful story writing skill.
I just wanna see his next disguise and see if it can be any worse than this one. 😅
Little bit of a long one here, but hopefully not a too retarded take.
I didn't start playing Borderlands, until just before TPS came out, playing BL1 solo, but fell in love with the series. Never knew much about the community on Youtube, just a small group of friends, and family who played.
I wasn't able to get Borderlands 3, when it first came out, and so by the time I got around to playing it (I still haven't finished the whole thing), it wasn't broken, and I'd missed the drama.
I ended up playing Tiny Tina's and started out very excited…. then watched as the longterm quality dropped right the fuck off… it really sucked, because I love RPG games, and Wonderlands could have been an absolutely perfect mash-up of RPG and Borderlands, it had tons of potential… then we got the "DLC" and a horrifyingly repetitive end game.
Now, despite liking most of what I've seen in BL3, I am almost afraid to finish it, even tho I love the concept of the Vault Hunters featured. Fl4k and his pets are cool as shit, Zane's abilities seem super neat, and should be OP if used right, but I constantly hear him shit on, apparently because he got nerfed pretty hardcore; and Moze's ability is cool as hell. Not much of a siren player, throughout the series, in fact I have not played as one at all. 😅.
Super worried I am going to be disappointed, if I continue with my main toon, a lvl 40 Fl4k, with a couple DLC beaten, and I think about halfway through the main game.
I had no idea about this stuff going on behind the scenes until the last few months, and have to a agree that the sudden drop in quality in some aspects, and tone deaf "fixes", are probably from the community not being heard. Being drowned out by people with larger audiences, or people being afraid to criticize, because they will be shit on for having the audacity to not love any shit, shit upon their plate.
Sadly, this seems to be happening in a lot of franchises. Game quality is going down, and groups of "apologists" band together to screech at people offering their criticisms, and telling them it's their fault for not just enjoying the game, when they are just trying to offer up what they would like to see in said games.
It’s not funny to joke about beating women smh
It's a sad time in gaming, when these people have no clue and let money go to their heads.
Respect is a two-way street.
You have to give it, in order to receive it. smh
Thanks MAK!!! 👍
Gearbox is collectively seriously messed up in the head.
Somehow that doesn’t surprise me…
1:13 ngl wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a leftist since they seem to love using crap you said 10 years ago against you. It’s a running theme with them
good ass video mak
The wife beater joke is fine by me since it's a common edgy joke that most people will chuckle at but the child trafficking one is just plain weird.
No one should ever joke
about Child Trafficking. This is the biggest scourge worldwide. Watch the movie THE SOUND OF FREEDOM.
Thanx for all you do.
Really grasping at straws now these days aren't we? Literally trying to add real-world validity to the comments of a wildin, young, 18 year old with hormones raging through his body that everybody knows kids that age say and do things randomly without thought and just spew out the mouth whatever they think makes them sound cool. I'm sorry but you're starting to become that annoying tick stuck on the back of a dog's ass that nobody wants to remove but nobody wants around anymore. Like I don't think you realize the length people will go when you anger, prod, abuse and $hït on constantly will go to to "handle" you…. one day your going to have to deal with real life PHYSICAL consequences when one of these guys you been badgerin get a wild hair up they arse, find you in a real world location and absolutely ring your nugget in front of all your family and the world to see…. I don't want to see violence happened to anybody but I've been around the block long enough to know it's a real good chance this will be a probability of your future if you continue to push people…. Like you literally posted the same three video clips from this kid 38 times a piece to try to make people believe some abscondant collection of words spewed from an absent minded teenagers mouth is holy truth in concept and action…. If that's the game you want to play you should be prepared for all of these content creators that you have talked down on to collect all of the off putting, nasty, dirty, violent, racist, sexist, derogatory comments that you have spewed with no thought from your mouth over the past 11 or so years and share for all the world to see in retaliation. We live in a country with freedom of speech, just because somebody says something does not mean there is direct initiative or action present with it. You should also be aware that slander is an actual felony crime and you continue to freely offer the evidence of yourself committing said slander against all of these creators and developers from gearbox. I don't think you would want to catch the attention of some very rich people's attorneys, they would eat you for breakfast lunch and dinner. Just stop already dude….
The saddest part is how unfunny anything this Crypto guy says actually is.. hes clearly trying to be funny, & he fails miserably every chance he gets 😂
some of these are quite the stretch. i dont think following the "the list" being exposed is pro child exploitation, rather it is against it. (or i missed some context)
And i think the wife beater thingy is missing context as well, from how it sounds. (as it seems he is referring to some previous statement)
the other jokes are just more "their generation" than ours… sadly. (20s vs around 40)
i wish you would go more towards your epicNNG direction by attacking his arguments and way of presentation instead of this,
but i guess this is more like "you try to shade me with past BS, you get shaded with past BS" tit for tat.
Been watching since before road to 30, always been a fan mak and now even more so! Keep up the good work brother ❤
Meanwhile, borderlands 4 is gonna be so good no-one will bother playing gta6, and mak will be teaming up with k6 to make videos for gearbox
I've learned more about Randy Pitchford from this video than I have ever since I started play Borderlands back in 2010.
What kind of people does someone like Randy USB-stick Pitchford choose to surround himself with? I wonder
This isn’t the bombshell you think it is. On the internet people say really fucked up things daily, hell so do I, but I think ccrypto sucking up to one of the communities biggest bullies is FAR worse then a couple unfunny, edgy comments that hold little to no weight. Only because someone jokes about something, that doesn’t mean they condone the actions.
I stand with you when you use genuine facts and evidence to destroy some of these frauds in the BL community but this video is just way too full of speculation and reaching for me to take it seriously.
It's clear that crypto was making jokes, which is fine, but it's also clear that mak was making jokes back in the day. So you can't really make some random ass hit piece on mak about some jokes he made a decade ago whilst making those same jokes in 2023 and not seeing a problem
Joltz dude may have the most immature sever possible the mods are incompetent asf example no rule against about me right? Yet I wake up today with a message saying to change my about me or get kicked from there sever just overrall terrible
Watching you scrape together what little relevance you have left with meaningless drama has given me second hand embarrassment.
I thought the wife and suicide clips were kinda reaching imo I dont see anything wrong with those but the trafficking one… Big oofs 😂
I think my eyes got cut, that guy is just so edgy
Also explains why they are so sensitive to your comments or anyone else, and get so much support from Gearbox. How deep is this rabbit hole?
