Borderlands 3 is the gift that keeps on giving, whether it’s new gameplay impressions or drama behind the scenes with Gearbox and its employees.

The latest one involves former Claptrap voice actor David Eddings, who has accused its CEO Randy Pitchford for physical assault back in 2017 in the lobby of the Marriot Marquis hotel in San Francisco, during that particular GDC in March. David said this in his last tweet as part of his offer for doing the Claptrap role in Borderlands 3 for free, in addition to the royalties he was owed.

I had a lot of mixed feelings when asked to reprise the role of Claptrap late last year and eventually realized I was willing to put differences aside and do something cool for Borderlands fans with my friends at Gearbox.

I ultimately offered to do it for “free” in exchange for past royalties owed plus an apology for something I’ve never spoken about publicly until now: Randy physically assaulted me in the lobby of the Marriott Marquis at GDC 2017.

Personally, I think Randy’s been on tilt the last few years. He's not the victim he portrays himself to be. I even blocked him a couple years ago for stalking me on social media. Enough is enough.

As an aside, seems a bit conspicuous that he chimed in on my salary but didn't mention anything about the $12M of revenue he siphoned away from the employee royalty pool. FYI – GBX employees are asked to take lower salaries with the promise of royalty shares.

2K says they won't give a statement regarding an ongoing lawsuit but if the allegation is false then it sure seems a lot easier to just deny it since that's the only reason they're mentioned. The whole thing stinks.

He even added that 2K Games wouldn’t give a statement regarding the aforementioned US$12 million being “siphoned” away from the Gearbox employees royalty pool.

Gearbox are refraining from commenting about the accusation, but they did provide a statement regarding the assault:

“Gearbox takes any and all claims of this nature very seriously and we will abstain from commenting on the allegations Dave is making because it is a personnel matter. We appreciate David’s contributions to the Borderlands franchise and have continued to assert we would welcome him back into the mix as the voice of Claptrap and other future opportunities.”
