Cliff Bleszinski, known for creating the iconic Gears of War franchise, ended up not having much luck in the games industry after leaving Epic Games, deciding to retire. However, the former developer has shown interest several times in the past in returning to the franchise to act as a consultant.

After several attempts to contact Microsoft to help with the project, Cliff says he never received a response. Because of this, he feels it's time to move on and leave Gears as part of his past:

 
As much as cliffy is a cuck, i actually agree with him, not only is it good publicity but he could atleast give the franchise its bromance back, something the new games have been lacking though i did enjoy hive dlc
 
Is gears of wars relevant these days?! Gears is so

it is like selling a car, and then asking the current owner if you can borrow it in the weekends.

Epic sold the franchise to Microsoft in 2014 - That was the time to pursue contributing with Coalition, now it is 10 years too late for that.

I hope developing those horrible prototypes of GAAS for Epic had payed off, because I can't even recall their names.
 
"Hire me because it'll be good PR" is what he's come to these days?

gears and halo need a long break at this moment.

The last full Gears game was 4 years ago. The franchise needs quality improvements to both SP and MP, not necessarily a 'break'

no one was asking for his consulting services.

I thought he said he was retiring and going away after his latest gamine development failures.

Guess he can't quit us (gaming).

The dribblings of a burn out lol.

Man crashed and burned without EPIC.

Post some pedo shit online and of course no one wants to work with you again. Phil ain't touching you with a 20 foot pole bud.

Get a hold of the creator of that Epstein Island game maybe you can consult him on the sequel.

The first three Gears are the best imo
Honestly those were the only ones I was really into. After that it just felt milked and excessive IMO. I know people said 4 and 5 were good, or not too bad. But in some areas they looked like downgrades to me, so I just didn't bother with them.
 
Cliffy is like that annoying ex that broke up and is so over you, but will never miss a chance to text you and constany ask if you can get back together.

Sux but 5 was pretty good without him 🤷

It was a good game overall but I didn't find the additions were additive and just distracted from it being Gears. Who really wants to hack a tower or skif through an empty "open" world and get lost going mission to mission.

He's like the Dane Cook of the video game world.

I don't necessarily mean that as a cut down. Handsome, charismatic, was at the top for a bit and is now irrelevant. These things happen.
 
He's like a guy who keeps applying for a job to the same company for 10 years.

Cliffy. You worked some Xbox games back in the day. It's over. Focus on something else like Lawbreakers 2.
 
Dude just need some therapy and a grain of humbleness.
I'm going to assume with all the credentials he has ffor hit games back in the day the guy is loaded. He's no spring chicken (he's almost 50), his last game and the company he ran went into the ground, and his game making image is tainted as he hasn't really done anything lately except Lawbreakers which was 2017.

If he wants to keep working that fine. But probably better to change industries. If he was that in demand, he'd have endless great jobs for great franchises. But nada lately.

You would hope so but every time he pokes his head into the public it kinda smells like he is looking for another payday.

He should team up the ex-god of war turned youtube celebrity (lets not use names....it gives them "tickles down there"). Would be a special cash-tastrophe for everyone involved.
