I could list at least 20 things i think Mechwarrior is missing, top of the list is the galactic multi faction, faction wars extravaganza, you wont get much of an arguement out of me about most of your reply.

Pilot ejection animation and option.

The odd mech going critical instead of just falling over all dramatic like

Collisions etc.

So you agree it's taken over 2 years and tons of cash to make a fairly good gameplay demo?

But I'm all for anything that distracts Goons.

Sorry my francois is a bit rusty so i mostly stick to english and that aint much better.

If there is one thing I like go give my money to, it is not one, but TWO minimum viable products.

I also guess we'll need quantum computers to run it smoothly.

For all I know they are in the red, but let me say this, its my guess they went out of beta so quickly because they were making to much to basically be called a beta. They basically had to leave beta or start having some explaining to do about making so much steady income as a beta. 100% a guess, but there it is.

And I thought about star citizen also, but they are burning through the money they are making like mad.

Yep this is where you put your thinking cap on.

To add to this complete guessing on my part, which is smart, to blow all the money and rush ahead, or to go slow and get it right and stock the coffers.

I've always been wondering where all the money from the clans went to.

We are getting; 1 map and a non functioning CW that has been promised 3 years running.

Guess it comes as no surprise at this point.

I don't need no quantum computers, especially when I have one of these:

You honestly think PGI worry about making too much cash, whether in beta or not? Personally I think they removed the beta sign because they've been planning to dump this game and move on to this new whatever it is. So this game is "finished" for quite some time and it's ok to work on something else.

I gotta say PGI surprised me though, here I thought they were just gonna release clan pack 2, when in reality it's much much worse.

In case the Beta Police came knocking?

All 'launch' was a ticking of a box and moving the goal posts.

PGI is gonna announce a new game on tuesday, which in reality means they took a bunch of cash made from MWO and are going to toss it into another game, which means MWO is going to run on fumes.

Exactly. Now, the main topic was some rumour about a new game. Is that based on truth, or just trolling?

Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Bryan Ekman, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Piranha Games. 14 years ago I founded Piranha Games with my business partner Russ Bullock to build exciting and engaging games that we love to play. Piranha is best known for our latest endeavor — MechWarrior Online, an online free-to-play giant robot combat game. MechWarrior Online's incredibly successful Founder's Program proved that we can work directly with our backers to help build a game for the community.

On Sep 9th, 2014 at 12:00PM PDT we invite you to join us for the reveal of our next project. It's a big one, it's going to be the largest production ever undertaken here at Piranha, and we want YOU to be part of it.

It's epic, it's online, it's sci-fi.

Just below you will find a registration form. Filling out this form will register you for our new game and grant you an exclusive in-game item when the finished product goes live. By registering now, you can also name your Pilot – yes that's right, pilot. Ok, no more spoilers…

I look forward to the future, and our journey to the stars.

Sincerely,

Bryan Ekman

"I Am Human" is the pass.
