Many of us have been patiently, politely waiting. Most of us really don't want to see Mechwarrior fail.

Fixed and Yes.

A mass ban of all of us would make the headlines of basically every gaming news website. I'd be surprised if this event isn't already going to be getting some attention.

You broke rules; you got removed.

It's what you do to people here; why should you be different on 3rd party sites?

Will this make you think about how you operate here and have treated people recently?

The laws of physics prevent me from expending the neregy to make this the truest statement in history.
But it's still close...

If that happened, pretty sure everyone would boycott the new game and this one. It wouldn't stop the signal though. Niko failed to realize how powerful those outside communities can be. Imagine if 4chan got involved in this!

Yes, it WAS amusing. You're a community rep whose job it is to, amidst other things, understand and manage the laws of an online community.

And you hosed that in epic fashion. If it'd been a skating arena, you'd have been the guy trying for a 720, helicoptering clean off the edge, and ending up headfirst in someone's car windshield in the parking lot. Nobody got seriously hurt cause you're wearing your helmet and pads, but it's embarrassing and your bros are going to razz you a bit about it for the next few weeks.



Wasn't just them. You set up a reddit that broke the rules- and other interested parties in your game also noticed this. Conflict of interest flags all over the place. Don't pull a "Goons <3 Paul" here, Niko. That PGI got slapped hard like this is also a sign that yes, you're a meaningful presence as a company.

I'll also note that the Outreach folks proceeded to automoderate PGI's staff so you can post there, being nice folks. You just can't use that Transverse Reddit as your own personal PGI fiefdom- Reddit doesn't work that way. Nor can you own it and supermoderate it. It's Reddit's virtual space, not PGI's. You're a guest.

[size=4]

Considering the PR disaster, in 30 days or so I do believe Transverse will be a moot point anyway. And the snide, snippy tone of this entire rant is making PGI look like it has an Atlas-sized stick up it's keister. For mercy's sake, just suck it up and just don't do it again. As it is, this whole nightmare fuel fiasco also revealed the fact that PGI has Wing Commander and instead chose to do it's own space sim ideas instead. We don't need torqued WC fans all over the place generating some kind of synergistic ****storm of rage with the MWO bittervets.

Thx wanderer. You ve spoken the truth earlier today aswell but some mods decided to destroy ya thread - oh sry "Clean"

Wow, all these founders,Phoenix, and clan pack badges. Indications that these people have been devoted supporters of mwo. To me that carries a lot of weight. To pgi however....

Yep, look at all these paying customers full of hate and discontent.

I wonder why that is?

Let's give him some time to catch up.

Hopefully he can see that a large group of Founders, the people they owe so much to, are greatly displease. Nobody here is expecting refunds. We're expecting you to, for once, take responsibility for the **** you've put us through. Stop referring to your disenfranchised and extremely disrespected player base of hardcore BT fans as "a vocal minorty". We are your consumers, without us you have nothing. Please, just realize this for once. I've spoken out before against people who were criticizing you to an extreme degree but now you deserve it.

And to Niko, this is ludicrous. You're making a mockery of yourself and the company. You will not be able to live this down, I promise you.

Love Mechwarrior
Left because ghost heat sucked ass
Back to laugh at Paul.

I haven't kept up with this game for a long time, so I'm catching up on a lot of the Niko ****, but man, if anyone deserves this backlash it's PGI for how crazily incompetent they are, and how badly they bungled the Mechwarrior license. I hope MWO can still be fixed because at it's core this is still a good game, and I don't want the Mechwarrior IP to go down the toilet, but it's hard to be optimistic when their lead dev plays ******* Tetris on their launch day and generally acts like a petulant child when you have any criticism for the game.

[Xenosphobatic]

Sorry, Niko, but you went in someone else's house and violated the rules and they called you on it. Reddit is not meant to be a promotions platform. The goons are what the goons are but they are completely right in this instance.

Who has two thumbs and is a founder?!
