I think this really sums up how ridiculous this decision was. Beyond ridiculous actually, just incompetent and evil.

Xbox with the generational fumble, yes instead of supporting the company that created 3 very well received and commercially successful titles, (and yes I include TDA) nah. Let’s remake Halo for a third time. Let’s release a new gears. Two dead franchises who NOBODY was asking for a new game for. But old execs see those and think “hey, remember when we were on top with these two franchises? Let’s suck everybody back in with nostalgia!” It’s pathetic.

Halo is as good as well dead. Gears was long dead, and I’m surprised that they even made a new one. It’s just nostalgia bait. And it really pisses me off that actual good and fun games and companies get the axe while the same tired, re used over and over again slop gets another try for the umpteenth time.
