I will let the article speak for itself.

Lol, I was about to post about it. Well, they say any publicity is good publicity. Wonder if it's true in this case.

[Nasty McBadman]

Really? Come on.... how about a realiable and trusted publication.... Forbes must be some kind of fake. Anyone ever heard of forbes? Tell me when it gets to a REAL news source like The Weekly World News. ;-)

[jozkhan]

You know you just cant buy this kind of bad publicity

oh wait

[Sybreed]

"I can’t imagine MWO will ever become a major force in the competitive shooter scene if it continues making decisions like this, and anyone setting a $500 price point for a golden mech might be better off in the magic bean-peddling business."

We'll get a none apology from PGI and they'll keep trucking on just like they have been.

Never seen a $500 virtual item in a F2P game?
The author doesn't play alot of game does he.

Even Forbes is bashing you PGI. FRICKING FORBES IS BASHING YOU.

What does that say about how you are running this into the ground?

The author explains pretty clearly why it is different. I guess reading is too much to ask anymore.

my new caned response to threads like these. I hope you enjoy it.

I like to play MWO, I want to keep playing. I like to pilot the beautiful mechs PGI makes and I love the portion of the community I am a part of.
I can not for the life of me understand why anyone would:

1) tell me how to spend my money, I earned it it's mine I will spend it how I like. If you do not like what I am doing that's really none of your concern.

2) tell me to not support a product I enjoy and a company I trust. I pay for stuff because I want it but also because I like to play and I'll happily support making the game available for all the people who play for free
some one once said 'in a free to play model if your not buying into the content then you are content' for all of you who have not bought in in any way but still have fun, you're welcome.

3) I can not for the life of me conceive of ANYONE who has the wherewithal to run a company who would intentionally shoot itself in the foot by making more deadlines they cant keep, I don't care that they missed a deadline before, it happens. So all you gripers who moaned about that, IT'S IN THE PAST you already beat that dead horse to mush when it happened, let it go already, what are you twelve?

I see a lot of people say "I'll support the game when its done, they are not getting a penny until then". Well that statement suggests some level of patience, why don't you exercise that and simply wait instead of dumping on the product now when in the future it may be everything you where looking forward to. Is it really worth it to shortsightedly discourage new players for something that you have not seen yet? what if it IS the best thing since sliced bread, then what have you accomplished with all the whining. I mean other than making yourself look like the worst kind of team member, the negative Nancy.

I don't think I am asking for much when I ask people to cut the BS and either quietly watch how things develop or stop playing for a bit if the idea of waiting for a feature to be completed is too much to handle emotionally.

Oh and on the subject of meeting ambitious deadlines.
phoenix is on time. Base your judgments on what the company IS doing not the mistakes it made over a year ago.

Negative Nancy is the new PGIDF buzz word
