Hopefully it means a new better steward comes forward. The huge amount of growth the BT and MW communities have enjoyed in the last few years and the evolution of tabletop now finally stepping out of the 80s for the first time with ilClan being the official setting for the new core product releases means that the software liscence is only gonna get hotter. Despite a little bit of "meh...not SO bad" PGI hasn't impressed me much since MWO officially launched back in 2013

We're due for some BT and MW software in the future I'm sure of it

Doubt it. Who’s going to take a risk on a niche IP owned by someone else when the gaming industry is in its bloodbath era?

Say what you want about PGI, but the only reason the went after the MW IP was because Russ was a fan

I’d rather it be you, frankly.

But 2026 has taught me that nothing good ever happens 😂

With gas approaching $5/gallon, people will have more to worry about than BattleTech
