Fans Accusing Gearbox CEO of Using Fake Account To Defend Borderlands 4

Expert Verified By

The Borderlands 4 Controvercy Continues!

Story Highlight
  • Fans are convinced that Gearbox CEO is using a burner account to defend Borderlands 4. 
  • A single Twitter user has been visiting various posts and praising the game’s optimization. 
  • Randy Pitchford, through his main account, has also tried to justify the game’s terrible performance. 

Borderlands 4 launched to a huge controversy regarding its optimization on all platforms. The studio tried its best to justify the situation, recommending different optimized settings and more, and is now even working on a patch. 

However, amidst all the issues, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has been highly active in responding to players and addressing criticism. Things have gotten so out of hand that fans are now accusing the CEO of using a fake account to defend Borderlands 4

Why it matters: Tech experts concluded that Borderlands 4 runs worse than any Unreal Engine 5 game because of terrible optimization, but the studio has been constantly justifying that with bizarre reasoning. 

Recently, an X user, oscavich magillicuty, has been addressing various Borderlands 4 optimization complaints and defending the title. Many fans have accused the Gearbox CEO of using a different account to shield Borderlands 4. 

The performance of the game is so terrible that you don’t come across any person who doesn’t call it out for that. This is the only account that has been defending it and says it’s running fine for them on all platforms.

Borderlands 4 has poor optimization on all available platforms.

They even claim that they bought the game for two consoles and a PC and encountered no issues. Fans have been making fun of the situation and calling out Randy Pitchford. This is rather amusing if it is indeed him. 

The comments also align with the CEO’s comments regarding how older hardware won’t run the game properly. However, this isn’t just a PC problem; it’s worse on consoles. Nonetheless, there is no definitive way to say it is Pitchford, but fans are convinced.
