Gears of War 4? Or another game set in the universe?

Since they effectively kicked the shit out of everything left in 3, I'm sure it's another game in the universe.

Rumor has it People Can Fly (Painkiller, Bulletstorm) are the devs working on this.

Game Informer mag?  How the fuck are these magazines still in business?

Game Informer is still one of the biggest selling magazines, particularly in Europe and Australia.

Game Pro died not too long ago. Print media is gradually phasing out but not completely.

Game Informer is owned and published by Gamestop.  Subscriptions are built into every power up membership, so the readership is almost built in.

I think they were actually criticized at one point for being potentially biased, specifically promoting items that were relevant to Gamestop (pre-orders etc.).
