PGI, thank you for all the hard work you put into this game!

We all know that there is still lots to do and, with a highly critical forum community, I believe there could be a sense of negativity out there right now!

With that in mind, I want to voice my appreciation and congratulations to every member of the PGI team for the everyday victories you all achieve!

Without your hard work, we wouldn't have this great, modern incarnation of the MechWarrior Franchise. I know you work hard so that we can have fun!

I believe I speak for many of the community when I say: "We salute you! Keep up the good work!"

Happy Holidays to you all!

Lol there's no real reason for a "heartfelt thanks". It's not like they're not doing this for free . They've made loads of money and are way better of than the average person playing the game. If it wasn't for the money they got they never would have made the game.

If this was a free mod on the other hand, that would be in order.

That is far from the case. Just because someone is paid for a service does not preclude the giving of gratitude for it, nor does it indicate that the only reason one does something is for the money.

If you feel the way you do, I assume you never thank your server when you go to a nice meal at a restaurant or the driver if you take the bus...

I'm sorry that you have so little gratitude for the work that others do. It's a terrible way to live.

I think roundabout in the same ways as does leetworks .

Merit deserved is merit freely given by me, no problem .
Problem here is, no merit deserved, since minimally viable product with a very apparent, permanently left open exit route for quick saving of earnings .

[Brandarr Gunnarson]

Really? Very disheartening to see such negativity. That's what this whole post is meant to combat.

I didn't agree with many of the changes that they wanted to make in the PTS session and I voiced my opinion (along with many other) and was heard.

But I won't discount the work that went into it.

Not every person at PGI is a decision maker. Those that aren't still work hard to make the game function. Those are the people I'm thanking!

Even the decision makers seem to me to be trying. The whole IW thing was a valiant attempt at new mechanics and a new system.

It got a lot of blowback, but it still took work! And I still appreciate it.

Well, I think I can also thank PGI because this is practically the only game I play currently.

Without MWO, maybe I'll play vidya games no more which is kinda sad after two decades of intensive gaming.

[Johnny Z]

I will reserve any outbursts of joy and thanks giving until the new year and if there is any announcements of new content being added before then and the timeline for such content.

Its a great shooter no doubt. The best in my opinion. I dont like shooters though.

+1 for MechWarrior sim.

What a sad attack on people for wanting to make a living by pursuing what they are passionate about, which, incidentally, isn't making a new variation on Candy Crush but a completely free-to-play game. I enjoy playing the game and I enjoy paying a bit of cash from time to time. Keep it up PGI!

[B0oN]

Are PGI REALLY passionate about Battletech, Unwashed ?

I got the feeling a long time ago that they were doing more of a "profitable" endeavour .

And looking at what they did so far and where they started I have to say: there is modding teams out there that are better .

I cannot deny that they "try" .

You know what, I get heartfelt thanks from people who I do paid work for every week. It is very nice.

So are you the guy who doesn't bother tipping in restaurants even if the server does a good job or doesn't say thank you to the guy doing your oil change or replacing your windshield? That's the same thing.

No, it's not required. But it is basic human decency

Well as you all know I am disgruntled at the moment , but I do see a lot of good and hard work done on a shoestring budget.
and for that I think a "thank you" is in order.




But Im still p*ssed.

[Morggo]

I'm with you in saying "thank you."

I personally have been playing only 3 months or so, but outside an MMO guild night once a week elsewhere, this is all I play. Love it. I don't get the negativity people. I mean, if you hate the game that much that all you can do is vent and slam on the forums, um... why are you still here? Apparently there are far better Mech sims out there so what's holding you here? hhmmm?

Personally, I love what they have done with the game. It entertains me endlessly, and I *hate* shooter games and never play them... but this just is different and brings back my younger days playing BT tabletop. Are there warts and issues? Sure, but most games have something wrong. *shrugs* So I'll just sit back, give props to PGI for what we have so far, crack a beer and crack some mech heads. I prefer to be happy and enjoy a gg than sitting around bitc**g all the time about what "could be".

After a few years being completely out of touch with MWO, I am incredibly glad I am back, and it seems it's for good. Solid game, having plenty of fun.

Reading this made me sad for you.

[Setun]

I'm going to have to join in and say that this game has come a long way from where it was a few years ago. It's still got a ways to go imo until it's in a really good place, but it's getting there slowly but surely. I'm hoping that with the influx of Steam players we'll finally be able to get some 4v4 / 8v8 modes in the game, but until then this game can be hella fun at times.

Now if the meta would change from peekaboo snipe fests (b.o.r.i.n.g.) to brawling / mid range knife fights that would be amazing.

Something to ponder



Can't imagine that the entire team have Battletech wallpaper in their living rooms but I think they do nicely as a small development company. As Praehotec8 and cSand already pointed out: you can even say thank-you to people who do a paid service to you. I enjoy that too when I throw a report at a client.

(Note: I find the entire Battletech storyline intensely boring and derivative myself and fall asleep every time I try to read up... so...)

-Bump!-

Can we get some more thanks for PGI's people and hard work?

The negativity are mostly confined to a few vocal minority, the steam reviews seem to quite clearly indicate that most significant portion of the players are happy with the state of the game and the direction its heading. Its just that most rather play the game than being all doomy and gloomy.

Obviously the game is not perfect but we know its being worked on and thats good enough.
