Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford has defended recent flops such as the Borderlands film and its Risk of Rain 2 DLC by comparing the company to one of the most highly-regarded bands of all time. Yes, The Beatles.
Replying to a user who had commented on the developer’s recent “judgement and shot calling ability”, Pitfchford stated he was “going to keep making stuff” and subsequently brought the English rock band into the conversation.
“I wish everything could be a hit, but that is not how it works,” Pitchford wrote in the exchange on social media platform X (spotted by PC Gamer). “The greatest musical act of all time, The Beatles, had a 25 percent hit rate.”
