uh.. you really think people will refuse to play just because they cant play NH? Then maybe we should demand that MWO be a shooter with options for no heat, unlimited ammo, scratch built mechs, uber configs, allow jump jets on all mechs, and god mode option because that will bring in the most players. Yes thats sarcasm but my position is that NH is so divisive to the community thats its a game killing option just like the others. Also, what kind of players will that bring and what would those options turn our game into? I say keep it action sim and avoid the issues of the past. Let MWO be the game the community has always wanted, not another shooter that the world expects from games these days.
No worries; I will RESOUNDINGLY scold the community in the event the game adheres to a HOLA-only method of play and MWO is not cutting mustard financially. Much of the responsibility will be that of those who wanted the game to demote larger community for the sake of holding to standards and then not open their wallets to accommodate the lost sales from a smaller niche market.
