So there is a article floating out there about PGI and how they handle certain choices and their success of the founders program. You can find it here: http://www.gamefront...-at-great-risk/

Just wait until I finish my article. A lot of what I will say I have already outlined on these boards. However, I have offered PGI an opportunity to respond. I extend that offer now to a Q&A session but given that I have not heard back, I will just have to run it without their direct input.

EDIT: OP this should be in the 'General' section but I understand why you chose to post here instead.

3 replies 54 views for a thread about the first independent none-PR-Marketing placed article on PGI. It is a sign I tell you!

I still want a link to that article lol
Id expect you to be ignored by PGI to be honest

Yep. I am likely to be ignored though it is polite that I offer Bryan and Russ the right to reply before I put it out there.

Once the article is out there I will be placing a link to it on these forums.

I've read the article, twice actually. So what!!

It doesn't matter what it is, cash, time, unspecified energy's, if you put effort into anything
you run the risk of being dissapointed or somehow feeling unrewarded with the results.

The article makes it plain "buyer beware", this is not a new concept.

The MWO founders program illustrates just one thing, and that is how desperate people
are for Mechwarrior. I personally wanted a nice single player campaign so I am SOL,
I also am not a founder.

I actually applaud PGI for making the effort, Microsoft owns the computer gaming rights
and they just sat on it. Topps owns the rest of the property, as far as I know, and what are
they doing with it other than letting CGL continue?

So lucky for everyone PGI is willing to wade through the muck and give the fans their
interpretation of a Mechwarrior game.

Nobody else seems willing to even consider it.

Meh. Good, somewhat unbiased poll... better than most anyway.

Article was written with an agenda though, and not 'buyer beware'... so. Poll 8/10, article 5/10.
