Well I shelled out $60 in Euros and
will likely shell out another $20 in December or January
depending on when the Phoenix offer ends.

With those $85 I will have gotten 3 Month of subscription and
enough mechs, mechbays and cash to basically play the game subjectively for ever.

I have to admit that there was also a good portion of hope involved,
hope that the game will grow beyond what it is right now,
an very interesting, complex, promising shooter
that yet is very limited in depth of gameplay, UI, performance, monetization model, aso.

An investment in the future was the only reason I got the package.
For what mechwarrior offers now, it was horribly overprized.
I could have gotten nearly a year of subscription out of quite a few other MMOs for that cash,
like for example rift or eve.

Individual Hero mechs or the colours are so heavily overpriced that it is obscene in my eyes.


They copied prices and model from WoT and that alone shows how much they care about community.

It's actually not an assumption at all. It was a number given to us by Bryan Ekman himself.


That's not the assumption part I was referring to. I was talking about his mind-reading abilities that delve into the intentions of people who play the game.

You can get that same look from a drive through teller at McDonalds, or a cashier on Black Friday.


I suppose you could.

So it is not what the game is what I as a gamer and a customer pay you, PGI. It's because I want you to evolve, get better at what you do, and strive on to make better Battletech games!

THis and only this....however i think I'm not longer relevant - have spend more money as the average player -> so MWO is an success if there are only a couple of players like me - and there are because this should have been something to do with BattleTech.

So yes - I spend the money because it has the IP not because it is an irrelevant game without any long term game content
