How about they release a game first this generation before they start hinting about another game instead of releasing the same game for the 100th time.
 
Probably saw Across the Spiderverse and started drooling at the monetization possibilities. It'll be Destiny x Spiderverse... which doesn't sound AWFUL as a concept. Has to be better than one player switching between two protags because load times magic.
 
I wont hint but say it stright up:

I won't be playing.

Seriously...why cant some studio just release an Unreal Tournament/Quake 3 Arena type multiplayer game with all the classic modes and add skins to get their precious microtransactions?

It would be the easist GAAS imaginable.
 
Jim Ryan was a cynical gamer-hating suit with a get rich quick scheme that failed, but MS' race to the bottom scheme failed much worse so we don't talk about Jim much but we are paying for his inadequacy.
