Randy Pitchford says the Borderlands film would've sucked a whole lot more if he'd directed it: 'It would have been way worse'

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 06: (L-R) Eli Roth and Randy Pitchford attend the after party for the "Borderlands" Los Angeles Fan Event at Dave & Buster's on August 06, 2024 in Hollywood, California.

"It could always be worse" is something I try to keep in mind as I lurch and stumble through this extended Gong Show called life: As bad as any given situation is, there's almost always room for it to slide even further down into the cosmic crap bucket. And such is the case with the recent Borderlands movie: Yeah, it really sucked, but Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford recently reassured The Gamer that it could've sucked a whole lot more.

"It would have been way worse if I directed it," Pitchford said at Gamescom. "I'm not a filmmaker. Eli Roth is an awesome filmmaker. I promise you, if I directed that movie, it'd be a disaster."
