Google Maps Walking directions are in Beta

Typically, Google gives you car directions that are often comical if you're really on foot, say when you pull up instructions on your iPhone. In this case however, it told me the best way to walk to San Rafael from the City would be to stroll out into the Ocean near the George Bush Sewage Treatment Plant, then hike down through the peninsula through Milpitas and then out Altamont Pass into the boonies of Stockton near I-5 before cutting through Napa Valley and climbing over the top of Mount Tam on a 241 mile journey estimated to take three days and nine hours.

I was hoping for something different from Coalition, not Gears 6 so soon.
Their expertise in UE development could've propelled them to try out other IPs using the new UE5.
But guess, given recent MS' state, Gears 6 was the 'safer' call for the studio. But still hope they venture other IPs or even other genres ... at least FPSs in future?

Microsoft seems only interested in maximizing profits through its biggest IPs at this point.

So soon? Its been 5 years since Gears 5, longest gap between games in the franchise.

I was hoping for better but Microsoft being safe again....

Why would people be less angry? If MS made it's own games instead of buying up what was already available then we wouldn't be in the situation that everyone is angry at.

MS is the problem.

Just forget what happened and keep supporting Microsoft!

Fuck MS and Phil. I already told that shit bag off on Twitter, if the dumb ass responds I highly doubt it, I will go off much worse. What a fucking disgrace MS and Phil are to the gaming community.
