Perhaps they are going to have an "After Christmas OverStock Sale"

'Hey MechWarriors! Our warehouses are over run with MC. Boss says they got to go!. We are marking them down. Got to make room for the 2013 models!'

Maybe

I don't know if this is a US thing, but in Canada, Its flat out barbaric to demand people to work on Christmas day instead of spending time with there family's. What the ***** is wrong with you people?

Its just virtual cash in a video game. Grow the **** up.

PGI is in Canada, you have to wait for the Boxing Day sale... it's tomorrow...

or you could have got your Holiday MC last week when they did a sale, or on Black Friday when they had a sale, or you could have got a Founder pack and got bonus MC...

jeez PGI, when are you going to do something for the player base?

100% agree with you. I’m an American but my momma raised me right. I was hoping they would do something maybe just extra holiday xp or cbills for each mach. but am I disappointed broken hearted... NO I am not they have done so much for us in this game. Yes there are still issues but it doesn’t bother me. If you missed out on the sail it’s YOUR fault. Sorry you are too lazy to go shovel some snow or whatever their is to do around your town for a few bucks.

To compete with Sony's triple station cash deal, it'd have to be +200%.

a sale today probably would've required someone to work in the office to handle the activation/deactivation. You want to make a dude work on Christmas?

uh yeah so someone signs in and hits a button, damn that was painless

If I was working for PGI, I would implement a button that lets mechs explode for no reason, then I would browse the forums, make my blacklist and have some fun

XMAS sales are only done to gain marginal revenue or book some rebait (see what I did there?) expenses on your corporate video game project.

Since PGI is still working on a project in development, they have no need to do any of these financial gimmicks, like rebates or community discounts as their end of year tax shields are very well established.

I think most need to understand why companies do xmas discounts. Its not for the enjoyment of their customers or community. Be glad you actually are not seeing more gimmicks and cash grabs by PGI given the current state of community activity.

should be a sale every bloody day

Yes, sales every bloody day is what men in business called 'fire sales' or going out of business clearance. Google General Motors and their 'business discounts / dealer deals' if you want to see an example of how healthy that is for a company.

Or just buy some F2P title from wallmart. I suggest WarZ.

I got my holiday money around the holiday... found no sales on anything here and spent it on other games.

In fact... I haven't even played MWO since then because I've been having a blast playing Batman Arkham City (game of the year edition) that I got for less than the price of buying a single Hero Mech.
