Randy Pitchford har i mange, mange år efterhånden fungeret ikke bare som CEO for Gearbox Software, men også instruktør og producer på mange af deres spil. Selvom han vil blive ved med at være netop CEO, så har han besluttet at træde tilbage fra spiludvikling generelt.
I en besked på Twitter fortæller Pitchford, at han i stedet vil fokusere på filmatiseringer af Gearbox' licenser.
"Today at our Quarterly Company Meeting, I announced that Steve Jones will become the next President of Gearbox Software. For those that have not had the privilege I have had to work directly with Steve for over 20 years, the simplest thing I could say is that he is better than me.
Steve embodies the Gearbox Entertainment Company's mission to entertain the World and he personifies the Gearbox values of Happiness, Creativity and Profit.
As President of Gearbox Software, all production and development is now a function of Steve Jones' leadership."
I en anden besked fortæller han hvad det betyder, at Jones nu er firmaets præsident:
"I will continue to serve as the CEO and President of The Gearbox Entertainment Company. My duty is to be accountable and responsible for high level creative and business strategy as well as the interaction between our business units, our executive leadership team, and our headquarters and office locations functions."
