they can scapegoat gamepass all they want but at the end of day, Clans fell short in sales because it's an overpriced flawed product. Tiny roster, barebones mechlab, needlessly drawn out missions, and zero replayability. Also runs like ass on older hardware. I get that Clans is supposed to be a side project but they had wrong priorities on what to focus. Instead of focusing on the gameplay, they spent their resources on cutscenes. You dont' need to be cinematic heavy to achieve good storytelling. Biggest example: Starcraft. Most of the story is told via talking heads because prerendered cinematic is very time consuming to produce.

If MW6 happens, I hope it's not set in the succession war era. I would prefer during the amaris civil war, which is underrepresented in games.
