Pitchford has offered suggestions for improving performance, but when players said features like DLSS and frame generation were not adequate solutions for them, he replied bluntly: “You can do whatever you want. The game is the game. Please get a refund from Steam if you aren’t happy with it.”
He went on to use an analogy, saying he wouldn’t “put a Ferrari engine in a monster truck and expect it to drive like a Ferrari,” and insisted that using available tools such as DLSS is the intended route for improving frame rates. “If you’re not happy using the tools available to you to improve frame rate and you’re not happy with the frame rate you have, you should play a different game,” he wrote.
There doesn’t appear to be anyone at Gearbox publicly telling Pitchford to step away from Twitter, but advising players to seek refunds or switch titles is a surprising stance for a studio head. For comparison, when Arrowhead Game Studios’ boss told players not to buy his game until servers stabilized, he says it “took five minutes until I got a call from the friendly people over at PlayStation asking what the fuck I was smoking. ‘Don’t recommend that people do not buy your games.'”
