I didn’t say MWO was dead.
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.

I never saw it as a dead game even after I played it. I can tell that the apparent similarity set you off enough to call me an ass and so on, but again, I am willing to accept I had heard incorrectly (and possibly heard from the doomposters you mentioned) but either way I only lurked those forums and only occasionally to begin with.

It’s too bad I’m not likely to ever get to fly a Phoenix Hawk LAM outside of the Advanced BattleTech fan mod because of the lingering meat hooks that Harmony Gold has in the IP, that have long made LAMs themselves just about a forbidden concept.
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.
they are uniquely dogshit for a lot of reasons.
The established centuries of lore made them dogshit, for sure, but considering their origins as Macross veritech where they were awesome there, I’d love to see them made good.
