There's supposed to be an announcement on Monday? is that it?
Are the quotation marks photoshopped? That was my first guess what was supposed to be important, but they dont appear on my twitter app, so…

That PC Gamer issue is three years old, it is from Autumn 2017.

Uhm what are you talking about?

Once when things related to news,magazines and comics they were made physically instead of digitally. They often had some thing called a publication date showing the general month or week they were distributed-published so readers would know how old or relevant the data in them was. Usually such data was shown on the cover or the first few pages indicating things like an editor,writers,letter, art team and other people who were involved with that periodical.

That PC gamer issue is irreleveant, we're talking about Russ' tweets which are more recent.

Uhm why are we talking about the PC gamer issue at all?

Because Martian comically missed the point and thought the PC Gamer issue shown in Russ' twitter header was relevant to discussion when it's not and never was?

I was thinking about the Russ Bullock's Announcement and that PC Gamer issue reminded me that since 2017 the situation has not improved, when it comes to PGI, Russ Bullock, MWO, MW5Mercs, announcements, etc. My opinion is that one should be cautious when it comes to Russ Bullock's announcements.

I was around when Russ Bullock made his pre-MWO announcements too. The reality is a bit different.

I am very cautiously expecting tomorrows annoucement. No words on the PSR reset as of yet and Matt not putting up new 2 day challenges anymore, makes me think it's something not too small. Probably not just a "here's how we are gonna adjust the matchmaker" thing. I really try to be optimistic about the game, but I am not a fan of an annoucement preceded by lots of silence. That makes me nervous.

Well, I do not think that those challenges have anything to do with that announcement. I guess that Matt Newman has programmed them in June or so and the computer is doing the rest.

I would say that announcement regarding PSR, Tiers and MM would be handled by Paul Inouye.

So possibly something with the Steam or Epic? Or perhaps MWO subscription model? Let's wait and see.

Or perhaps it is something with MW5Mercs. Some expansion pack release?

Russ reply was to a tweet from NGNGtv:

@russ_bullock

[color=#14171A]so Oct. has arrived! You mentioned 'MWO Community initiatives' in a recent tweet, any more information on that? [/color]

So something to do with the 2020 MWO Comp Championship Series?

[Knight Captain Morgan]

Ah yes time to have a discussion with someone who claimed that letting the premades farm the casual solo pugs would improve match “quality”.

Umm... good luck with that.

Maybe that IS the news!

Edit: Or maybe they're going for Transverse 2.0

Okay, so Russ Bullock has hired a new press spokesman. Great.

[JediPanther]

That better be a photo shoped joke. No way in hell would I pay for a sub only mwo as it is right now. I'd rather go back to swtor where I get actual content and freebies and I've been a free loader on swtor since the hutt expansion. Fallout 76 would be a better deal. And since M$ now owns that, that might improve.

[VonBruinwald]

So, unless I've missed something the big announcement is:

"We've hired someone else to talk to you."

Monthly subscription service? Does this mean "pay to play"? For "FREE" premium time? Color me impressed. Now what to do with the 408 days of banked premium time I still have got?

Also what about double accounts?
