I remember in 2014 there was a lot of hype around star citizen so I decided to check it out on youtube. However all I could find were videos of middle-aged men soy facing while walking around an empty hanger. That was the moment I realised star citizen fans are completely delusional
(particularly the CEO that pushed that "Star Citizen but worse" grift with MWO's kickstarter funds called "Transverse")
Okay so that's flat out wrong, like not even close to what happened. Now before you make an ass of yourself, Transverse was an absolutely terrible tone deaf idea from Russ, but it wasn't made from the money that was gotten from the Founders packs. That honor goes to Mechwarrior Tactics, something that PGI had really nothing to do with as IGP who was PGI's publisher at the time decided to funnel a lot of the money gotten from the MWO Founders packs into MWT.
peddled gold-plated 'Mechs
Again that was IGP who pushed them to do that.
Also good lord I didn't have seeing actual 2013 MWO dead game nonsense on my bingo card this year.
To be fair here, your post was about 95% indistinguishable to the group of people that went around in late 2013 to early 2014 that MWO was a "dead game". I've been playing MWO since closed beta, and was pretty active in the community then (and still am now), so I remember a lot of the major stuff that happened back then and throughout the years. Like there's a lot I can give shit towards PGI, but at the end of the day I can't be too hard on the people that finally told Harmony Gold to legally fuck off.
I misheard, then, if what you say is true.
Everything I said there only came out shortly after PGI bought themselves back from IGP so around 2015 I think it was, and they stopped just short (but still absolutely were) of throwing IGP under the bus.
that have long made LAMs themselves just about a forbidden concept.
Right now given that HG doesn't have any real grounds to come after BT ever again, the only thing that is keeping LAMs from being messed with right now per the current BT line developer is the aerospace rules themselves, like he wants to completely redo them as they are uniquely dogshit for a lot of reasons.

The cool end of that demographic plays MechWarrior Online instead and basically subsidizes it for the F2P players.
