To be fair, this isn't entirely accurate. I've been against smoking from the beginning and have worked hard to not make it a part of our franchise. Ever notice that the Dizzy concept art for Gears 2 has a cigarette but the actual character in the game doesn't? I stopped it. https://t.co/KahohpMH3A— Rod Fergusson (@GearsViking) 12 de julio de 2019
Simply because I didn't want to glamorize something that is addictive and kill you. Wasn't trying to me any moral police, just reflecting my beliefs after losing friends to lung cancer.

Just to clarify, I've always been anti-smoking and have pushed back on having it in Gears since day 1. There was no smoking to remove from Gears 4 or 5 because there never was any smoking to begin with. And as long as I'm in control, there never will be. Sorry for the confusion.— Rod Fergusson (@GearsViking) 13 de julio de 2019
