Gears of War Can "Do A Lot More" Now That Microsoft Owns It
 

I guess this just means that Microsoft is willing to throw a lot of money into making sure this franchise is around for a while. The backing and support of Microsoft means Black Tusk can "push a lot harder" in many "major areas," he said. "I think the franchise can do a lot more now that Microsoft owns the IP. We can expand its breadth and do a lot more stuff with it."
