Gears of War partners with Crisis Text Line

Gears of War is partnering with Crisis Text Line in a move timed to coincide with Suicide Prevention Day. Gears of War is, of course, a Microsoft-owned franchise about large men and women fighting a world-ending invasion of monsters. Crisis Text Line, meanwhile, is a nonprofit which provides free, 24/7 mental health support through texting.

It’s not exactly an obvious teamup, at first glance.
