You can take the Gears out of the Xbox, but you can't take the Xbox out of the Gears


Gears of War is a game I loved, and for many reasons I think I'll always love it, but for many reasons, that's not so easy to sit with right now.

Layoffs have affected all divisions (most recently resulting in the cancelation of Everwild and Perfect Dark), and there is a wide call to boycott Xbox products and services while Microsoft employees(including those that are part of the Xbox division) are protesting the company's contracts with Israel tied to an ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
