...what would you do with the money?

So if you had all the money you needed to do whatever to improve MWO, what would you do?

I'm kinda split between these two options:

I would hire a bunch of chinese hackers and some mercenaries, then pull Cheese builder I.P. adresses and proceed cleaning the gutters of this game.

OR...

Buy PGI an IGP and give them 10 year contracts pre-paid, then order them to ignore casuals and cater to me only.

[Norris J Packard]

I'd buy the IP from IGP and the assets from PGI.

I'd then give some money, assets, and the IP to a company with more manpower and with a better history with Mech games, so... From Software.

I'd buy several houses all around the world, preferably in places where the sun shines all around the year. Each house would of course need at least 7 shiny cars, one for each day of the week. A private jet is a must of course, I need to be able to fly to my houses when ever I want. The rest of the money; hookers.

Oh and how would I spend the money on mwo? Dunno, maybe get one 10$ mc pack. Seems like the right amount pgi deserves based on their progress.

I'd give them 1/2 a billion and move to a sunny tropical island with my family!

Buy them out and end this.

FROM is an amazing company, overall my favorite as well, but they also did the Armored Core series (I like it too, but not like the amazing MWO). I would never give it to FROM, as I don't think they could capture what makes MW, MW.

I'd put a billion dollars into savings before I'd support the game that bad. I have nothing I want to spend it on right now too. So I guess I have no opinions.

Not really, I was just trying to think of all the developers still around with a Mech game or two in their library.

It is a very short list.

I think filtered out which ones would give a subpar product and which ones probably wouldn't, the logical answer was From Software.

Shocked more people haven't said this. 1 billion to clean the forums of people asking for unseen....its a steep price, but I would sacrifice a billion mechwar....err dollars

[Beeman]

Triple the number of people in the studio and dedicate at least twenty of them to developing some coop/PvE elements. Perhaps lace them into faction wars in some non-huge way('cause even I feel that PvP is the most important aspect of MWO). Then I'd donate some programmers to MWTactics because...well, why not, you can do all sorts of wild things with a billion dollars >_>

[FrostPaw]

Hookers, beer, fast cars and *******.....be dead within a month but man....what a month.


Oh wait, never mind, I misread the intent of the question...yeah, If I had a billion dollars I would totally care about somebody else's business.....totally. Because it's common knowledge rich people care more, rather than simply spend money to make guilt go away.

[Taizan]

I'd hire John Carmack and Joe Pesci.

[Poptimus Rhyme Wallace]

this is yielding much better results than anticipated, thank you users i finally have a succesful topic all on my own .
woohoooo

[Monsoon]

I'd buy the companies that own the rights to Macross and Fang of the Sun Dougram. (Studio Nue & Nippon Sunrise.) Or outright buy the IP from them.

After all, why not simply bypass the whole hassle with Harmony Gold.

Aside from that, I'd septuple the staff.

Eh.

From Software's style for mecha is particularly Japanese, so noty. They also aren't exactly consistent in even producing their lock-in niche games. The critical reception is also painful, but that's at least partially because their particular genre doesn't translate well to western gamers. Just doesn't translate, the same as MW/BT didn't catch on well within Japan (AFAIK).

You're getting what you're getting. Otherwise, Gb2Hawken.

[Adridos]

I'm from a country that uses the extended measure system or whatever is it called, so I get 1000x more money to play with.

But really, if I had that kind of money, I'd give one milliard to PGI and then enjoy the rest.
