Saber CEO Admits 'Dig' at Gearbox Boss Randy Pitchford in New Game Trailer, Saying It's Payback for 'Shots at Embracer in Borderlands 4'
Beef between two high-profile video game industry CEOs has bubbled over into the public domain, via a trailer for new taxi simulation game Rideshare Stimulator.
Matt Karch, CEO of video game publisher Saber Interactive, has admitted that a new trailer for his upcoming taxi simulation game, Rideshare Stimulator, contains a dig at Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford. Karch explained that the references were intended as payback for Pitchford's criticisms of Embracer, the parent company of both Gearbox and Saber.
Embracer, which owned both companies at one point, was the subject of an in-game location in Borderlands 4 called "Embracer's Bluff". Pitchford has since admitted to leaving a USB stick containing pornographic material in a Medieval Times restaurant, leading to the creation of the USB DRV reference in Karch's trailer.
