Investigators from a police department in Texas said they don't believe that game developer Gearbox Software was the target of the bomb threat hoax which occurred on Oct. 4, Polygon reported.
Last week, officers from the Plano Police Department arrived at the headquarters of the "Borderlands" game series developer in Plano, Texas, to respond to a bomb threat.
Randy Pitchford, the president of Gearbox, detailed the situation through a series of tweets, Game Informer has learned.
According to the company's president, the officers were searching a car parked in Gearbox's parking area for a possible explosive device.
"Someone is out of control," he tweeted. "Bomb disposal unit called to Gearbox HQ parking lot to deal with car bomb threat."
"Bomb disposal robot in action in Gearbox HQ parking lot," Pitchford added.
The members of the bomb squad did not find any explosive devices in the car or in the nearby areas.
Despite not finding anything, Pitchford was not allowed to go to his car for safety reasons.
"I think we're all clear," he posted. "I will confirm in a few minutes. I was not allowed to get back to my car as it was parked too close!"
David Tilley, Plano Police Department's information officer, said the bomb squad responded to the scene after receiving a tip from an anonymous caller, according to Game Spot.
Based on the investigation, Tilley said the bomb scare has nothing to do with the game development studio.
"We received a tip that there was a bomb of some sort," he said. "It wound up not being anything. More often than not, that's exactly the case."
"From what I understand, the owner of the car didn't have anything to do with Gearbox," he added. There wasn't any relationship at all, or any tie at all to anybody that we could determine as far as Gearbox was concerned."
