Exactly, I'm sure the PGI propaganda team at MSNGNG will have an entirely different angle. Well that's what a paid propaganda arm is for.

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.

Your white knighting these pathetic devs only makes you look worse...I'm feeling like the fans are the ones at fault anymore, they let them continue this by continuing to spend tons of money on stuff that isn't even done or balanced very well.

Sorry they had their chance it's time they give it to someone else.

Whats the big deal?

If you can afford it, go ahead and get your unique mech. If you can't, don't fret?

The very few who CAN afford to throw 500$ at a mech will get "more unique mech for their money's worth", because they will truly stand out on the battlefield.

I don't care what ANYTHING in this game costs, as I can get everything I need for FREE.

No you cant. You cant get hero mechs for free and those are the one people will likely want over any of the others. Dont be stupid very little is free in this game that has any worth or value or even done very well.

But still plays... lulz.
Or did you uninstall, again?

[anonymous161]

You are a failure sir. You are over 40 years old trolling someone almost half your age...so sad.

However no I wont be playing this if the clans are actually launched at those prices, and with no more game modes.

I think you should uninstall and go get a girl friend buddy I think you need some love.

Do you not have a job buddy? No?

Oh and I'm also not wrong and in extreme majority here. You cant win buddy best you go troll someone who doesn't know what they are talking about ok thanks bye.

Why? I'm not the angry one spouting venom and bile all over the forum. You, however, apparently need a hug.

Actually, I own my own company, Just enjoying my coffee before work. I don't have the time to explain to you how time zones work, but it's still rather early here in California.

Just because you're in the majority, doesn't mean your right. A whole BUNCH of people were in the majority when the elected someone who said "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan". How's that working out?

BTW, don't you have me on ignore?

As a small aside, this is Forbes article is submitted by a 3rd party contributor. It isn't an article endorsed and created by a journalist employed by Forbes magazine.

So long as your writing skills are acceptable, you can also apply to be a contributor to the site.

The article - while I agree with its content - isn't much more than a well-written forum post or blog entry.

Take that FWIW.

Lewis Black has a term for this level of greed: "Piggy piggy f___ piggy piggy."

If you support this lol.... just lol I didn't think people could be so stupid.

[wmusil]

ooh! all the animosity, I just love it.

Actually, I was thinking .. as the mentioned F2P titles are well known to have millions and millions of players, ...

Where, if anyone knows, are the active player stats published?

How many of us are there actually? I know that we hear what a 'great success' phoenix was and will likely hear what a 'great success' the clan packs will be. Where is the data? I know it exists, no economy model in the world could exist without it.

So, IGP, PGI? Are there tens of millions of us active players? What do the enrollments look like quarterly? How many in-actives vs actives? What is the per capita revenue? How about some quarterly reports on the economy for the community? Or ... are we just enabling a downward spiral, like giving a drunk a drink or an addict a fix?

"I promise, I'll pay you back. I just gotta get right, you know, a little somethin somethin ..."

LOL, says the Overlord elite. Package is MUCH better than the Founders pack, and about equal in price/content to the Phoenix packs.

So, what was the point you were trying to make?

Yes, that is what this is all about, the people that are unhappy are unhappy based on current events, and no new content, but PGI has no problem asking for more $$ and delivers very little for it. Really, 2 maps in over 6 months? You dont think people have a valid complaint? Make it stretch goals if you want.. for instance .. if we raise $xxx then UI 2.0 by date XX/XX/XX or CW if we raise $XX by date .. instead we get $500 mechs and lost of .. "soon". It is not my place to demand how they run thier business but to pretend that people have no right to be pissed of is foolish and blind at best.

[Thorn Hallis]

Maybe I'm old school, but I'd expect a financial/business magazine (or website in that case) to report something about the financial success or failure (whatever is the case) of PGI/IGP and their business model.

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

so... where was the game WHEN they sold the tanks?

did they have match making? did they have other items they promised?

or did they sell the gold tanks when the game was still half built?
