So…this is not good. Chris Lee has left the project now. I’m getting a very Mass Effect Andromeda feel out of this project now with every new development I hear. And that’s not good. 
There is already a thread on this.
Also, this is great news. Idk why people are freaking out about this.
They are replacing one of the people responsible for 4/5 with of all people Joseph Staten.
They are finally doing what needs to be done and should’ve been done right after 5 launched.
