CROSS VERSION CO-OP PLAY!

[CFC Conky]

First!

[Thorqemada]

Well, i wait for the GoG-release of that precious MW5 game...will Mods work with that Version?

[CycKath]

DLC update at a convention, such as one can have one nowadays, make more sense than more obscure means.

[K4I 4LL4RD LI4O]

Now go forth and work on a plan to rescue MWO and post MWO stuff on the MWO page. Be the heroes of the inner sphere you are supposed to be! Make the community proud you strong handsome developerwarriors!

[Nesutizale]

Please post the update here too. I know some people think this page should be MWO only but to me its THE place for everything Mechwarrior from PGI, be it MWO or MW5. Much easier to have one place for everything.

[Warning incoming Humble Dexterer]

Thought that TikTok was getting banned, and for good reasons ?

[CycKath]

Only the host needs the DLC to avoid breaking co-op, that's pretty nice I'll admit.

[Thorqemada]

[crazytimes]

Are they going to announce when it is coming to steam?

Not so I can buy it, but so I can wishlist it for when the game is actually complete and then I can get it on sale.

For clearification...will MW5, not the DLC, also be avaible on steam on Dec.10? I mean I aspect it to be because what good does the DLC do for you without the main game. Except the DLC is a standalone client that you can use to run coop with other people and just not get the main story but I highly doubt that it will work that way around.

The other option would be that its allready on Steam and you just missed that in your anouncement.

If this means that MW5 will be available on Steam by December 10, can we please have some kind of a license migration offer for those of us who bought the game on the Epic store? I got the deluxe version full price pretty early on, and what is currently keeping me from playing is that I don’t want to install the Epic client on my new computer.

For example, a lower purchase price, or getting X amount on MC on MWO by proving that you own MW5 on multiple platforms would be a nice gesture.

Wait a second....getting twice the money for a product that I allready sold? From an income standpoint, definitly !
That is the easiest cash in that is so stupidly easy that I would have never thought of it. People buying what they allready have for next to no extra work? Excelent ! [/sarcasm]


On a more serious note.
Yes PGI should do that. Give people maybe half the price you pay for the steam version in MC. Maybe have a "refere a friend" program that when you get a friend to buy it too on steam you and your friend get a few more MC.
If PGI ever wondered how to make easy money then use peoples fear of EPIC to your advantage.

[Hellfire666]

PGI: can you please just post the details instead of making everyone watch 5 minutes of commercial for Razor products before getting anything useful?

[LordNothing]

20 bucks in 2 months, i might actually get that.

6 months later

on sale

for a buck.

[WiNNiep00h]

i will still buy the game as soon as it comes to steam

[Thorqemada]

Buy it on GoG were you own the game instead of buying access to an access acount that for any reason any time can be revoked as they see fit.

At GoG you can download the game installation files and own it as long you keep them and have an OS that runs them!

I'm gonna have to spend some cash to migrate all of my "ownership" over to GoG... I only wound up with Steam in the first place because a friend recommended I play Portal. (Good, fun game, but wish the disc worked a 2nd time, instead of forcing you to download the game every time you upgrade your hard drive).

[Belorion]

I just can't get excited about anything MW5 related.

MWO news would be welcome.
