Probably. The only thing Cliffy hates more than giant dildos is Chinese people.


That's probably because he's not chinese.  He-yo!

Oh......I thought MS was secretely buying them out. Some random Chinese acquisition? Color me disinterested completely in the matter


You say that now, but wait until the next Gears of War game turns out to be a MOBA.

A close friend of mine who cleans the toilets at Epic overheard an arguement once between Biffy and the chinese. Apparently while scrubbing a particularly nasty stain of one of the urinals, my source heard the following from the cubicles;

"Madamoiselle Beefy, we av invested a lot of moneeee into your bisneeeez, yes?"
"Thats true Tai Nee." (He was a very small chinese man).
"We av checked zee earningz and our returnz are lower..."
(Farting sound.)
"Yea well, all I can say is Fluctuations."
(Toilet then slammed. No flush. Chinese man stormed out of the cubicle.)
"Yea, well Fluc you Americanz to!"

My source says there were many instances of mistranslation. On a serious note, after so long at the company, maybe he fancied a new challenge? Or once his mates started leaving he decided to move on as well? But ill admit it smells fishy.

All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

So you're saying Cliff B is racist? I'm not quite sure why who owns a minority stake would cause someone to leave a company unless that minority owner was taking the company in a direction they aren't interested in. I don't see that from this article, so either Cliff leaving has nothing to do with who owns stakes int he company and he just wants to move on, or Cliff is racist.

I guess there is one other possibility, that Cliff is such a rabid commie hater that he wouild never have any association with any Chinese business. Is he that much of an idealogue?

No it will be on the Polestation 4 and NotNextBoxcopy
It will be Gears of War for the Chinese audience and will only be released on the low quality "Made in China" consoles that somehow have resembling names to the Playstation 4 and NextBox(what ever the final name will be)

The surprise and shock elements will be interesting when suddenly everything explodes.

more likely cash in and run and start a new company. Not nessesarily that they are chinese, but having any one other company own 48% of yours is never good. Its more of a partnership now than Epic leading and being in charge. It also may be the begining of the end as having new managment is always good for gaming devs. Not to mention the Chinese have a horrible repution for taking software assets from partnering compaines and doing what they want with them.
