Founder Program was a Pre-Order, not a donation. You bought something for delivery in full at a later date. This wasn't a kickstarter. The money went to PGI to IGP and back to wherever it was needed. That's how a business works.

It was not a preorder of the game (the game is free).

It was what it was. 0-4 special mechs, a badge in these forums, some MC, some premium time, and in the case of legendary your name in credits. It was a chance to support this game before it started taking money. That's all it was.

MW tactics has it`s own founders program which is doing just fine from what I gather.

Assuming "my founders money was embezzled for" almost 5 months after Open beta is asinine. If they were still living off founders cash, they be sinking faster than an anvil in a septic tank.

But yes, God forbid that a company take a revenue generating product and use the revenue from it to develop further products. I mean, coca Cola could invent something like Sprite, Or Ford could actually still be building case 100 years aftert the model t became obsolete, or Microsoft yould release an updated version opf windows....

Waitasec, that all happened, didn`t it? EMBEZZLEMENT!!!!

And yes, you ARE openly accusing PGI of a felony on a public forum, without any proof. You should be glad they`re not Microsoft or another more predatorial company-

He's actually kinda right.

So if the money we paid into MWO is being used to fund MWT and some other games, by proxy that means if we pay money into MWT and those other games listed in the new ToS disclaimer, their funds will be diverted into MWO, right?

REV UP THOSE WALLETS, GANG! We're gonna save Mechwarrior one Founders program at a time, since MWT's got one too and could use some love!

How hard is it to understand ? PGI said that most of the founders money went to IGP.
IGP spends that money to fund two other games.

When updating to the latest patch I had to agree to an EULA. In that EULA I found the following:

12. Included Websites. The Website includes, but is not limited to, the following websites, and includes the services offered therefrom:
1. www.mwtactics.com
2. www.mwomercs.com
3. www.sinsofadarkage.com
So anybody stating that there is no proof can now just go take a bath.

Discuss.

Wasn't it stated as part of the press releases when they pulled in $5 million from the MWO founder's program that the funds went to IGP and were being used to fund all IGP offerings ... not just MWO? I thought it was common knowledge ...

You know what's really crazy....

If you look at the terms of use on the MW tactics web site.... It has the EXACT SAME language.

OMG it's double embezzlement!

as a CPA, i think an audit is called for. i shall do the audit and take a finished CW and bug free MWO as payment.

If that's proof, then I think you've revolutionized crimefighting.

Pre-order of in game content. Same thing. It was in no way to be taken as a donation, if it was, it would have been stated crystal clear that it would only be used for MWO. No such thing ever occurred.

OP, what you posted is not proof at all..

However, it doesn't need to be proven. It's certain that money from MWO were used to develop and advertise other products too..in a same way, how money from other products are used to develop and advertise MWO. This is how it works. Nothing wrong with it. Get use to it and you wont be disappoint in the future..
