Dont get me wrong while i am excited about star citizen and you could count me as bit over zealous .
I do realize that chris has promised the world and has set very high expectations for the game. (quite possibly unrealistic expectations)
I am willing to buy into his dream, because i am hopeful that he will pull it off. Setting a precedence that will change gaming for the better .
Regardless my orginal point was if PGI had treated the mech warrior ip with the same reverence and idealism that star citizen has shown to its player base. I would bet they would have raised a whole lot more than 5 mil.
star citizen is profiting because they are promising to fufill a dream, and are delivering quality assets to back up its claims .
Mech warrior online has broken promises and makes repeated attempts to bleed us dry while giving little in return .
I guess it may be totally unfair to compare star citizen to mwo at all, the 2 business models are completely different .
star citizen is pay to play
and MWO is free to play
and maybe our expectations were set too high ... BUT then pgi pulls the gold mech stunt ... really ??
PGI regards this as a triple A game . their packages reflect it . the introduction of the golden clan mechs even suggests that PGI thinks they have something just as, or even more tangible than star citizen .
It really boils down to this.
PGI has disappointed time and time again, to the point that i do not want to spend money on any of their products.
Star citizen so far has given me quality assets and something to dream about .
I enjoy the lore of star citizen as well as the constant updates and information on progress.
even though mech warrior online is a launched product . star citizen still feels more complete and has a better overall design .
when it comes to spending money on one of these games, i pick star citizen .
I just feel the money is better spent there than here.
Oh and one last thing .. i have a eve subscription i would be willing to drop in a heart beat if PGI would offer a meaningful subscription package.
