I don't know why they let Randy be the face for Gearbox
Nearly every time he opens his mouth, something profoundly infuriating comes out
its pretty fucking incredible that he's still around after leaving a flash drive full of CP lying in a medieval times. the dumb shit that comes out of his mouth constantly is really just icing on that cake.
Yeah, when I saw this earlier today I thought "did everyone just forget about the USB stick?"
There was also the time he astroturfed Battleborn porn, because there's no way anyone created that organically.
I think they proved it wasn't actually CP. But still, using a work flash drive to store porn and leaving a work flash drive around is very unprofessional and a major security violation, and would get most of us fired. Especially since Medieval Times is not a lunch break restaurant.
i admittedly have only read the wikipedia summary to refresh my memory but it doesn't mention any proof that it wasn't CP, and frames that as a claim by Pitchford himself who also claimed that the reason he had the porn was to study their porn tricks for his stage magic so im not exactly inclined to believe anything he claims about it.
I don't feel like going through the legal documents on this, but one of the sources cited on the Wikipedia summary seems to imply the plaintiff also admitted that he was exonerated there? I can't see any information on if the case was dropped before of after E-Discovery, because if it was after, the images would've certainly been investigated.
Yeah, I did a little googling but didn’t come up with much more than you did. My guess is that the claims of misunderstanding were part of whatever agreements they reached to drop the case. If it was something like loli hentai he could probably still worm his way out of criminal charges even post discovery.
He's also a big time creep.
He looks unnaturally sweaty to me in his photos. Also the dude has no idea how to style his hair in a way that makes anysense.
