They are the cool end. I know this because when the grifting fucks at Piranha (particularly the CEO that pushed that “Star Citizen but worse” grift with MWO’s kickstarter funds called “Transverse”) peddled stupidly expensive gold-plated 'Mechs, that same playerbase playerkilled them so consistently out of disgust that I almost never saw them in actual matches after a few weeks.

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.

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.

I misheard, then, if what you say is true. The word in the old MWO forums was that the funding was lifted from the kickstarter budget, but if they were wrong (I won’t demand you provide evidence of that; you’re just as believable as they were and you are coming on strong about this and I have no more horse in that race either way), they were wrong.
I didn’t say MWO was dead. I only talked about the pleasant sort of solidarity where playerkills discouraged those gold 'Mechs from being trotted out after a while.

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.

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.
