Another wrinkle in the to the story has been added concerning Troy Baker?s absence in Borderlands 3. Initially, there was confusion surrounding the actor not reprising the role of Rhys, driven by back and forth between Baker and Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford. In a recent interview, Baker seemingly cleared up some of the perplexities, alleging that Gearbox wouldn?t work with him because of disagreements regarding his status as a union member. In response, Gearbox released a statement denying the actor?s claim, and citing Texas Labor Laws. SAG-AFTRA, a labor union for actors, radio personalities, etc., has since issued a response of its own to Gearbox.
SAG-AFTRA statement on the matter, courtesy of IGN, is as follows:

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {}; PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
