I don't really do/follow twitter but since the whole Aliens Colonial Marines fiasco, I've been eyeballing Mr. Bold Face Liar aka Randy Bitchford's twitter to see how smug or arrogant this prick can get. If you haven't heard/seen anything about the whole Alien: CM fiasco here's a video contrasting the preview in E3 and the final shitty product.
This my friend is one hell of a bait and switch, and they are getting away with it. In their video development diaries (video here) Randy Bitchford and his team say they're big aliens fans and that this was their dream project. Yet they outsourced most of the work to Timegate studios, Demiurge studios, and Nerve Software.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
Anyways, back to the whole twitter thing. Randy Bitchford has been getting messages from angry fans and he's either been blocking them or making smug snarky remarks that just makes him even more douche bag by the minute.
At first I thought Sergei Titov from Hammerpoint Interactive (War Z) was the worst. Then comes Randy Bitchford who makes hims look like Jesus. At least Sergei had the common decency to apologize to the gamers. Apparently there's a huge mess where Sega and 2K games are in a legal battle between Gearbox over the outsourcing and I hope Gearbox learns from this whole thing.
On a side note, Mr. Bitchford has always wanted to be a magician. I guess his greatest trick was to make that awesome E3 preview disappear along with Sega and the fan's money.
>:(
Twitter seems to be the place for the douchbaggery from the semi famous. I remember when Nostalgia Chick disappointed me on Twitter.

By the way, you should check out the review Angry Joe did of this abortion of a game.
