@OP, this is depressing, but not exactly a surprise.

Haven't logged in for ages but this is worth commenting.

Wow at the level of arrogance shown towards the customers & the unwillingness to communicate via forums.

LOL at the level apologetics are lowering themselves to preserve their illusions.

Well the first problem is that you are a unreliable narrator seeing as you not only have a very clear agenda but was also as expressed by you.. wronged... We can simply not take your words at face value, that is why you get the leper treatment.


Sorry but I have to do this.

When dealing with children, even adults have to come down to their maturity level sometimes so what is said really sinks in... :(


Usually the adult just ignores them. Taking themselves to their level just proves how immature they are. Especially when coming from a businessman

I'm going to make my own corporation that develops games, give myself the title of president, and my first order of business will be to put a project on Kickstarter.

I expect you to grovel at my feet and worship me.

I also expect my fans/customers to be civil in their discussions with me or my staff, just like any normal person would have wanted.

These are not regular customers, these are rabid trolls. The foaming at the mouth bridge troll kind.

I hope you're not implying that OP wasn't civil in their conversation.

So, if you tell somebody to not ignore their own community forums in favor of a crappy platform like Twitter, which requires dozens of posts to explain why laser vomit nerfs were justified and crap like that, then you're a foaming at the mouth troll.

You're such an idiot.

Some things to think about....

If Russ is fine with the snails pace of the game that means that in it's current state, MWO is making PGI more than enough money that they don't have to worry about catering to the player base, otherwise a person wouldn't be so accepting of the same team death match murder ball arena game this has been since it's inception.

Oh well, **** I'm just glad I haven't spent any money on this game in ages and can continue to buy all the mechs for free with c-bills later. At this point unless I see a mech coming in the future that I want to buy with c-bills, I don't even bother playing.

Until I see the Warhammer, Marauder, Rifleman, Bushwacker, Archer, Mackie come in, there is nothing to interest me in spending any real $$.

I've already put $100 into this "free" game, and no regrets at all for spending it, have gotten a hell of alot of mileage out of that $$, so no real hard feeling from my end at all influencing my decisions, I would just prefer to see my favorite mechs of all time get a spotlight before I hand anymore out.

You can't really blame Russ for not venturing on the forums and instead sticking to twitter and the town hall thing, given what a cesspool of toxicity these forums tend to be.

You mean OP being rather caustic and pushy on Twitter with Russ and tried to spin his own tale in the original post is considered "civil"?

On a semi-related note, I can understand, although not agree, with Russ not posting on the forums, given the volatility and polarity within them.

Dude you can White knight MWO until hellll freezes over and it still will be a shallow garbage game compared to the past MechWarrior IP games .



Thinking Mechwarrior 4 was a good game already disqualified your opinion from being taken seriously.

If he didn't block you, I bet you would've made the exact same post only being upset that he "ignored you".

"3. has zero intention of ever engaging with the community on the forums again.

-Sad, and mind boggling at the same time. But also explains the lack of direction in the production cycles. Again I'll reference the Marvel Heroes game, they have it sorted out on how to communicate with their players to keep the game on a good trajectory. Can also reference closed beta and even early open beta from this game some of us can remember that far back, to show they know how to do it but simply refuse to.-"

Smartest move he could make, keep one ear to the ground (via Tina or just lurking) no point engaging with the community. What ever happens the community will throw you under the bus.

While it seems to have great intentions, I would ask that no one ever compare this game to Marvel Heroes in regard to providing a direction for MWO to head to. Thanks.

If a game company does not like how their forums are going, they need to lay down the law. Letting things go to hell does not speak well of the company's abilities.

The folks defending the OP and his 'conversational skills' towards Russ have obviously never run their own business, and I have my doubts that they've even HAD a job if they think that sort of behaviour should be tolerated from a customer.

Rude and aggressive behaviour isn't accepted in polite society, weren't you taught that as a child like the REST of us were?

Outright LIES and falsehoods, which the OP presented here, are also not accepted behaviour in polite society, and yet some of you are telling the OP how right he was, despite the fact that he lied and the twitter convo SHOWS he lied, still you applaud him?

I'd slap my grown children if I saw them do that to someone, ANYONE, regardless of them being a boss or just a peon, it's totally unacceptable.
