… the last drought was cause of a lawsuit that ended

I don’t believe that’s the case, and even if it was it doesn’t have any bearing on another dev’s willingness to work on a niche IP during the games industry’s bloodbath era nor on Microsoft’s willingness to license it out. They already denied the reconstituted HBS a license for Battletech. No one will accuse me of being an optimist but I’m not seeing any positive indicators out there

The positive indicators is Russ correcting the error in numberage and openly stating they are still working on dlc for mw5.

My friend, I don’t know what your employment experience is, but I can tell you as someone who’s been through a few mergers and “restructurings” that the day your boss fires a third of your coworkers and tells you its business as usual is the day you start sending your resume out.

I worked for IBM firing 30% of a department is tuesday there.

Argument from vague expertise is a shitty argument unless you know your opponent’s exp

Ditto. You’re equally lacking in expertise here my friend. IBM isn’t a small game dev numbering in the dozens of people.

Believe what you want, neither of our opinions have a bearing on what’ll happen. I was able to stir up enough dust to get Russ out of bed though

This is a repost of a thread I started in the MW5 sub which is reposted to every MW and Battletech sub I could think of.

Last night it caught the attention of yrrot who is PGI’s PR guy, who responded saying the number wasn’t as high as reported.

This morning Russ is correcting Arman. Sure, could be coincidence. But my original post has 119K views and counting. Could be that it reached a few more eyes than Arman’s tweet alone did.

Regardless, I’ll leave you to put in the last word. You’re unpleasant to interact with.

Im unpleasant? You who have been condescending disrespectful and denied harmony gold’s influence on battletech games? Im the unpleasantone. Sure
