TC's Non-Communication

I see his point tho

Sometimes losing players is the only way a dev relents on being stubborn and actually starts to listen.

Well yes but no.

He seems to be more giving up, than actively boycotting and striking the game in order to achieve change.

TC actually communicates on almost a daily basis.

Twitter is their main platform for communicating to fans. If you are a fan of the game, follow them on Twitter. Simple. They also host weekly dev streams that go into detail on everything Gears, and they typically last over an hour. They respond directly to community questions.

Devs actively communicating on forums is not very common anymore. Forums/Boards in general are pretty old school. This place is mainly for fans to communicate with each other, but social media is where they make their announcements. What Ryan did was definitely not the norm nor should it be expected.

You may have a point regarding the “old school-ness” of forums over modern social media, but that still doesn’t excuse them not updating the News pages on this website.

Why the hell does Gears5.com even exist as a separate website anyway?

Good point. Shut down the forum, problem solved. Let’s pack up and take our complaints to Twitter where they will be more at home.

Well, the super ironic thing is that Gears5.com routes to HERE when you click on the forums link!

So the unofficial official website of Gears 5 links to the official unofficial place to communicate with the devs :joy:

exactly right man

It’s their version of funneling complaints to a junk email that they never look at.

So by that logic the forum is just spam/junk mail :wink:

To them, yep

It definitely should be better organized as a whole, I’ll give you that.

There should be a direct link to their Twitter account as well, or something that makes it easy to find.

That gives me an idea. Someone should make a pinned thread with TC twitter accounts for easy access.

Yeah… let’s completely allow them to ignore the OFFICIAL FORUMS…that’s just a stupid way of thinking.

Thanks

The web team tried https://reactjs.org/ and https://www.gatsbyjs.org/ for gearspop.com and wanted to continue using them for Gears 5 and Tactics instead of the current tech stack on gearsofwar. In the future when we redo gearsofwar.com I’d like to redirect gears5.com and gearstactics.com back to the gearsofwar domain.

I’m sorry, but I have no idea who you are. In looking at your posts, you seem to possibly be a member of the web team?
