Aiemmin tänään Gamereactor uutisoi, kuinka Borderlands 3:ssa Claptrap-hahmon ääninäyttelijä David Eddings vaihdettiin, koska sopimukseen palkasta ei päästy. Eddings on aiemmin tehnyt roolinsa ilmaiseksi, koska hänen varsinainen työnsä oli istua Gearboxin johdossa.
Gearboxin toimitusjohtaja Randy Pitchford on nyt kommentoinut tilannetta Twitterissä peräti kahden viestin voimin. Pitchfordin mukaan palkkatarjous oli ruhtinaallinen, mutta että se ei Eddingsille kelvannut.
"Mr. Eddings was paid very handsomely during his employment. After his employment he was made a relatively generous offer to reprise the role. Unfortunately, he turned that opportunity down. He was offered 2x scale - twice union rates. He refused the offer."
"He wanted it [the role] and reveled in it. The issue today is that Mr. Eddings is bitter and disgruntled about having been terminated. He was offered 2x scale, he refused. I don't want him to do it unless he wants to do it, as motivation affects performance."
