Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford uses hate for fuel.

Pitchford is no stranger to negativity online, in part due to his own infamously unfiltered internet presence, but his perspective on the matter is relatively unique: Just like The Beatles, you just gotta let it be, and tell yourself, "I feel fine," because all you need is love.
