I'm crossing my fingers that these studios are able to split off and survive because I would rather play a new Double Fine or Compulsion game over another paint-by-numbers Gears of War. This industry is grim man, goddamn.

I'm curious as to what you define as "paint-by-numbers" given everything Gears 5 did that was new for the franchise. -open-world segments -Escape mode -full-fledged class system in Horde -Jack as an upgradeable support unit -A choice that actually had narrative consequences
