>Amid his personal troubles, Martin got a job as a personal assistant with the Pitchfords in 2014. His starting salary: $45,000 a year.
>Randy Pitchford is the CEO and president of the video game development company Gearbox Software. His wife, Kristy, owns and operates the restaurant and coffee shop known collectively as Nerdvana Frisco.
>By early 2015 Martin was charging his personal expenses to the Pitchfords' American Express business account.
>Purchases included designer clothes, jewelry, electronics, hotel stays, airfare and even Amazon movie rentals. He had a self-admitted "addiction to fine shoes and blazers." Photos on social media show him wearing top-of-the-line clothes in bold patterns and vibrant colors.
>In 2015, Martin bought a home in Frisco's tony Newman Village with a market value of $591,000. Real-estate site Zillow describes the house as one with "custom renovations by interior designer John Wright Martin" that are "tailored for a lifestyle of luxury."
>He racked up hundreds of dollars a night when he visited The Round-up Saloon in Dallas, court records show. The Pitchfords said they learned those larger bills — including one for $657 — paid for a round of shots for everyone at the bar on Cedar Springs Road.
>Martin got "better and better at finding ways of spending our money," Randy Pitchford said.
>"In hindsight, I wish that's all it was," said Randy Pitchford, who estimates the total loss to be nearly $3 million. "We keep finding stuff."

Read the OP again. He was a personal assistant and charged these to a business account, something a lot of senior people at a company can do.
What this does tell us is that, given he got away with it for years despite very obviously non-business purchases. Gearbox has accountants as horrible as their coders to have missed this for four years. They only have ~350 employees at the last known figure. Hotel stays and air travel could understandably be missed (business meets and trade shows give plenty of both), and their might be companies that will buy employees suits on occasion (especially a tech firm where senior employees barely know how to dress themselves), but jewelery is so blindly obvious.

Yeah I'm starting to think what the other Anon's mentioned: Something else is going on here. A gay lover, the wife's bull, or Randy being Randy and making up fake stories for sympathy, like how he created fake death threats or warning people about the Battleborn Rule 34 subreddit then linking it on his Twitter. If by any chance this actually is real, then it shows gross negligence on Randy's part since instead of taking care of his company, he decides to spend most of his time on Twitter being cringey, doingPR stunts like posting a fake job listing on a website, in response to the ACM misspelling of tether, and living that "rock star bad ass life" he loves so much. It shows he shouldn't even be even in charge of any company at all.
>>15525214

Considering what Randy did to Sega and how he treats customers and even communities of games (look at how he treated the Duke Nukem fan base, threatening them with lawsuits), I'd say prison rape is unnecessary.

>paid for a round of shots for everyone
I will never understand this line of thinking no matter how lit I have been. Always seemed like some defense to not get your ass kicked more than nigger tier flaunting money around.

There´s no way this is real. This has to be a cover up for something shadier. Maybe it was actually Randy himself, who stole the money before his company could get bankrupt and now he has moved it into some offshore account. Because how the fuck do you not check your fucking business account for 4 whole years? That´s just insane.

I expected Burch to never have played Borderlands 1 in the slightest. No way he'd turn Zed into an incompetent fuck, Marcus into an ultra-jew, and other horrible shit if he ever played the game, but since it's Burch, he'd ruin it even if he did.

Did anyone here save the reply where someone tweeted him the Brothers in Arms box compared to an earlier Sega game with a similar cover?

I'd be okay with it if it wasn't hyper-sized. Small and cute a best, but large is still fine as long as it works proportionally.

Decided to do a search for Randy's name to see if he's gotten into any other hilarious stuff lately, and saw this:
>In March 2018, Pitchford announced he has joined the board of advisers for Fig, a mixed investor/crowdfunding service for video game development.
The scammer joined the League of Scammers?
