What Christmas money?

[HellJumper]

well by giving all this they will make a large number of players play one match on that day, then they can say we had 25,000 active users hence the population is great for MWO...

bye

So there's a good chance i won't have the time to play let alone if i even have a working internet and pc.

Is barely dropping into a match and tickling someone with a ERLL going to suffice as i bet that's all i be able to do?

Please don't have a minimum requirement, i don't want to be that guy that does 50 damage and dc's but i bet i wont have a lot of choice With potato net and laptop.

Golly people, try on a thank you for once!! Here, it looks like this.


Thank You Piranha Games for a REALLY NICE present. As a Mechwarrior from the hallowed days of MW2 and MW2 Mercs on though the years I think someone should say it. You've done a hell of a job making this game one that I can sink hours into and enjoy each minute.


For the grumps and the haters, you need a life. Nothing good happens without change. And just think, for those of you who like to complain about the changes. Piranha Games might have done as so many other developers have done and sold out to a bigger company. And then we might be staring at the paywalls of EA and the loot drops of Activision draining us of every cent, Instead we get free mechs, premium time, c-bills and the like. And I wonder, how many of you were forced to pay for your game download?

I've only bought what I wanted AFTER trying the game out for a YEAR! And all that time I played the game free. Still do come to think of it,,,

And if that isn't enough already.
The Harmony Games lawsuit. They don't HAVE to do this for us.
And oh yeah, one other thing,
MECHWARRIOR 5 MERCENARIES.

Not that I'm complaining or anything, just thought there should be a reason for such sudden change in their gift-giving policy.

Beyond the usual?
Spiking player numbers to a good peak.

There. Genuine as stated.
Can actually go a step further.

"Of all the free to play titles, I cannot deny that this has been the least hacked, least pay to win free to play game with the least bit of ******** monetization schemes that I have ever played and in this regard, PGI, you deserve a fuckton of praise."

(Now if only this game were actually more Battletech/Mechwarrior and less arcadey shoot 'em up point and click galleries of skill-less meta insta-kills.)

This is why they're doing it. Suddenly history is revised because they're giving away two mediocre mechs. Suddenly PGI is a gracious company that cherishes its player base.

Look, when a company suddenly starts acting out of character, even if it seems to your advantage, you have to be willfully ignorant to not question the why.

There is nothing wrong with questioning their motive. "Because PGI is nice" flies in the face of everything we know about their practices. The same people are still at the helm, and they are rigid and resistant to change.

Player numbers should offer a good count for developers - system capacity (or failure), a way to get irregular players online for a minute or two, and for regular players a fun holiday event.
