Gears Pop! was developed by Media Tonic using both the Funko Pop license and the Gears of War license. It was a fun little mobile strategy game but it was also very heavy on the microtransactions. Now, less then two years after going live, Gears Pop! will be shutting down.
 
In an update posted this week, the developers announced that Gears Pop! will be shutting down on April 26th 2021. As you would expect, this was accompanied with the immediate shutdown of the microtransaction store. Anyone that purchased in-app content between July 30th and October 28th 2020 will get an automatic refund. An exact reason for the game’s shutdown wasn’t given, with the developers simply saying that it is “no longer feasible” to keep the game afloat.
 
I will make an educated guess there is insufficient interest and too many microtransactions.

    Nope. I have 2 that I got as gifts and will keep because they're gifts...(Mickey and Minnie Mouse in Halloween garb)...but they are ugly.

    Offhand, I don't know how many Pops I have... I'm pretty sure it's fewer than 50, though.
