It's Anthony. I think he confirmed it somewhere - either on reddit or twitter.
Plus, I think that counts as a proof. That's not to mentio… moren that if you read the whole AMA it's obvious that person knows too much and knows Jack too well to be just a random person and not a gearbox employee.
I don't think that's ever actually alluded to, but I'm saying he would still stick around, even if there was nothing obvious he could do. His life is tied to Rhys', so it seems weird he would just leave like that. I mean, we see him stick around both times Rhys is being held up by Vasquez.
Isn't it alluded to that Rhys/Jack can only hack Hyperion and Atlas tech?
Which, if that were the case, Jack would have been completely useless in that scenario?
Rhys says sth along the lines of 'There's only room at the top for one, but you can still be my royal retainer', to which Vaughn responds 'Y… moreou know, when you say things like that I sometimes forget you're pretending to be the kind of person who would say things like that' and Rhys goes 'Yea, righ... wait, what?', and then shrugs it off.
So this might suggest Rhys really means the jerkass things he says, perhaps without fully realizing just how jerkass they are, and his friends are a little in denial of how douchey he actually is.
But of course that's only one of the dialog options.
"She's a woman, and she's right!" + "You trusted that floozy with a flash bang over me."+ Slapping Sasha's butt = A fairly sexist person in my eyes
As opposed to pre-TFTB Jack, who really did only have one sexist line in all his lines from Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel: "Whew! Got the Angel under control. Women, amiright?" Which made him seem just barely sexist in my eyes.
I know, but they should have put in the effort to make The Pre- Sequel consistent with the Borderlands games that already existed. I know it's hard sometimes to make a prequel consistent with the original, but it can be done with enough effort.

But you also have the option of playing Rhys as a guy who does remember who helped him and he says we are on the way to the top, and we deserve it. Rhys is as big of a jerk as you chose to play him.
Ah, right, that might be correct. But it still seems to me that Rhys is pretty serious, if oblivious, about his jerkassery, while Vaughn's r… moreeaction appears to be a bit incredulous, of the 'come on man, you don't really mean that... right...?' variety.
He seemed momentarily baffled if you chose the 'damn right I deserve this, I earned it' line before the promotion scene, and felt it necessary to remind Rhys he and Yvette had a hand in the success too... and Rhys wasn't very grateful then either.
I personally think there's usually the one dialog option that is there for you to be able to play Rhys as an actual self-absorbed dick, Handsome Jack style (which I usually take advantage of :P). I mean, you never got an option to say you pretended to take Vasquez's deal like Vaughn did, so I assume the game assumes if you took it, you meant it.
Ah, shit. I completely forgot about the floozie with a flashbang comment. But I'm sure that slapping Sasha's butt was to intentionally fuck up Rhys's chances for "teh lolz." I don't think he actually goes around slapping girls' asses.

Yep, it was Anthony - as confirmed by Handsome Jack - I mean, Anthony - himself.

Making the Pre-Sequel was a sudden decision by 2K, so when they wrote B2 they didn't think about all of that stuff.
You're a real hero Jack.
I don't think that's ever actually alluded to, but I'm saying he would still stick around, even if there was nothing obvious he could do. His life is tied to Rhys', so it seems weird he would just leave like that. I mean, we see him stick around both times Rhys is being held up by Vasquez.
Yep, that's how I interpreted that part of that conversation too.

Calling someone a floozy is not necessarily sexist, and I don't think slapping Sasha's butt was either. They're not NICE things, but not sexist.
But you also have the option of playing Rhys as a guy who does remember who helped him and he says we are on the way to the top, and we deserve it. Rhys is as big of a jerk as you chose to play him.

I doubt he was trying mess things up for Rhys. He was just being himself.
When in any other games have we seen Jack slap a girl's ass?
Jack is very outgoing, so such things are not surprising coming from him.
Slapping a girl's ass is surprising to me. If he's never showed signs of touching a girl consensually, then it's not something he'd do.
I'm not really sure what you're talking about. I don't recall ever seeing Jack do most of the things he does. That's just him.
Eh, whatever.
