The former voice actor behind Borderlands iconic mascot Claptrap, David Eddings, has recently spoken out about alleged mistreatment at the hands of Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford. Before his Claptrap role, Eddings had worked at Gearbox for more than a decade as a business development and relations director, and a VP of business development.
Pitchford also claimed in a tweet that Eddings was “bitter and disgruntled about having been terminated” and was offered “2x scale” to voice Claptrap, but refused the offer. Eddings was hired in 2004, and he attributed his success at Gearbox to hard work and an odd coincidence: Pitchford and Eddings were born on the exact same day. “It felt like a sign to Randy. That played into our relationship and we even had our birthdays together.
During the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in March 2017, Pitchford and Eddings were at the Marriott Marquis hotel, a networking hotspot during GDC. On the Thursday of the convention, Eddings claimed two different people had approached him saying someone named Greg Richardson was trying to get a price on Gearbox. “I don’t know anything about this and I’m the VP of Business,” he said. Eddings source asked him not to reveal that he had shared the information about Richardson.
Things escalated quickly from there. “ He shoved the f**k out of me while I'm on the balls of my feet trying to whisper. [He] knocked me back four steps... I believe I caught him in a deception,” Eddings said. He shared images with Newsweek that he claims were taken shortly after the altercation that appear to show minor bruising on his ribs.
Meanwhile, after all the angst and hardship, Eddings says he’s still willing to come back as Claptrap.

Trump campaign rebukes ‘dishonest fundraising groups,’ in veiled swipe at former top aide David BossieThe statement follows accusations that Bossie’s group, Presidential Coalition, has misled donors about how it is using their money.

Because realDonaldTrump is a dishonest fundraiser. Big time. Did he use a secret server and accept a debate question ahead of time in a dishonest attempt to defeat opponents?
