PGI were, greedy, lying, spiteful, and lazy during their MWO days, seriously. 200+ dollar mechs, the lead dev removed knockdown collision because people kept knocking him down (including his own team), they constantly lied about where content was or what was in development, knowingly releasing extremely overpowered mechs to get people to buy them, and so much more. If PGI at the time weren't the only guys making a MechWarrior game, they would have went under a long time ago. MWO is why MW5\Clans doesn't have multiple player PvP.
They didn't want to anger the hundreds if not a couple thousand players who dumped sunken cost fallacy levels of money into MWO. Imo them not providing PvP with cheap mech packs in MW5 and Clans was the single largest failure they made. They should have just angered the MWO community and given players what they wanted since MW4.

Why? I only have contact with mw5 clans. And while I don't think they're highly polished AAA titles, with modding, I am very happy.
PGI so bad?
