O.K., last I knew, the majority of founders were Battletech fans, but we were not the target audience. Are we back to being the target audience?

Interesting that your screen says "A Battletech Game" and mine does not.
Sensing a shopped pic...

I take it all back!

Dare we dream that PGI has finally woken up and realized they were supposed to make a BT game and not a CoD game?

No seriously, it's a game based on Battletech.

Really.

I'm not kidding.

Because there are Battletech fans out there that would never realize it on their own from playing the actual game.

Let's be honest here. That means it's a videogame based on the BattleTech IP. Doesn't mean it has a lick to do with the boardgame, roleplaying game, or anything else resembling a game. Just that it uses trademarked words and terms. :lol:

Loosely based. If it were any more loose it would fall off.

But seriously...I hope they realize what the target audience actually is and get back to making a game with roles, community warfare and a proper heat scale. You know...a thinking man's shooter?

They are referring to the BattleTech universe as a whole, not just the board game.

But there's a lot more non-thinking gamers than thinking gamers. And non-thinking gamers have money, too.

In which part of the BT universe did GECM work as it does in MWO?
