To Saxie,
If you don't believe the product has value to you, you generally don't buy it. There's no difference here except that the "product" has additional value in an immaterial fashion. The value comes from the fact that we have a new Mechwarrior game after almost a decade without, with fantastic graphics, and a development team that is willing to communicate and accept feedback on their game design, in a limited manner of course.
And I will personally support this game until the servers are shut down and the last developer cleans out his/her desk because I have faith that each one of the people working on this game cares as much about the IP as each one of us. And I believe that one day, this game will become a *great* game and that right now we are all climbing that mountain.
I agree, and I'm in your line of thinking. That's what I'm arguing, that there isn't value over the total body of the game to warrant 80 dollars. Essentially I am throwing money their way hoping that we get something we like. I'm not willing to take that gamble with PGI, and I didn't get the founders pack as you can see. Their body of work previous to MWO didnt impress me so I took a wait and see approach. After the game went beta I was impressed and bought into a few hero mechs, and MC. I would look more at this package If we had CW, Role warfare as they first envisioned it, a chat/game lobby maybe lol? Right now I feel as if I would be paying on a hope and a prayer
