The story director for Gears of War: E-Day has been laid off as part of yesterday’s Xbox cuts, barely two weeks before the game he’s worked on for more than four years is released.

Vaca wrote: “I am part of this round of Microsoft layoffs and am open to new opportunities in games/film/tv. If your team needs a director/storyteller please reach out.”
