Due to this game being F2P and Pirhana games not being a one horse stable ie Like Riot Games with its League of Legends or a Trillion Horse Stable Like Microsoft who formely owned the liscence, do we have some sort of gurantee that our purchases within Mechwarrior online will be put into future content in mechwarrior online ie new maps new content etc etc instead of say another Pirahna project ? I know this is alot to ask but F2P is an ever changing beast microtransations in F2P games such as Turbines DDO have made F2P an long term viable money maker.

Can we expect to see this game run as long as that? ie DDO's 7 years or do you more so plan on doing what microsoft and Acitivion did and make Mechwarrior 2-4?

So two part question is the mechwarrior money going to stay in mechwarrior at least hopefully partially. and is this going to be a long standing product that goes through multiple upgrades to random fuctions or are you going to instead make a revamps / Mechwarrior Online2?

Thanks

Since MWO is a continuing game similar to MMOs, I am going to guess that PGI will keep using the money towards MWO until such a time that they have too many people/assets to support the community.

As long as they keep the game running? None of our business.
