Aliens: Colonial Marines was TimeGate.
And GBX already have work on their Duke game under way.
GBX have delivered IMO more then they've faltered.
HL: Opposing Force
Brothers in Arms series (all three)
Borderlands 1 and 2
Yes, Randy isn't well liked these days. Yes, the crap around A:CM was disappointing, and yes... the current lawsuit is sad.
But, that doesn't mean that a studio made up of mostly ex 3DR and former DNF developers can't make a great Duke game.

I dunno. I think the thing that he most recently did that was evil was telling Interceptor they couldn't release Duke Reloaded and then right before Rise of the Triad was released Randy started saying that they were free to release it on Twitter and in the press right before they were about to release their first commercial product when it isn't really possible to pay people to work on something that'd be released for free.
(not a lie
)
That and lying about Aliens Colonial Marines constantly in interviews and in the press saying that Gearbox was putting all their effort into it and it's something be believed in, not to mention the final game looking completely different to the 'in-game footage' he showed to the press.
and not to mention tearing apart DNF and selling half of it as DLC and claiming it was 'all-new content' and that the final game that shipped is the same as what 3DR was working on (it really wasn't) which was confirmed ex-employees.
Jay Brushwood talking about how the game is entirely different from the final build 3DR worked on, George wanting the game to be more serious:

DLC is cut levels (full o proof, denied by Gearbox anyway):

Randy is a bit of a scumbag all things considered..
