Are they are trying to crowdfund this? Do they know how much they owe their current success to the IP? This just strikes me as a terrible plan...

[–]RebasKradd 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Yes. I can't believe they'd try something like this with a staff of 70 and an already uncertain fan base.

    This had better not be the true explanation for their lack of manpower.

    Pretty sure it is, and this is really depressing. MWO is nowhere near the level of support status, where they can make another game and release content periodically for the current.

    [–]Khavi_VNight Watch Mercs 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (16子コメント)

    Dunno, all they have ever really done for MWO is release content periodically. TBH, it's all I really expected, so no disappoint. I really don't think their model is going to work without the backing of an established IP to milk.

    Bryan just liked a post asking if PGI is buying out IGP. Of course, he liked question if the new game was based on BT lore too. He is trolling hard this one.

      PGI is admitting MWO is dead in 1 year so they need a plan B. Now we know why UI2.0 took one year; everyone had been moved to this.

        I can see it now...they will take the pay models from each game and add on top of each other:

        ED: $300 alpha access SC: $1,000 ship insert game: $$$

        "all of the above" and multiple by 5 is PGI pricing model.

        Founders money was put into MWT, I bet your clan money was put into this. If it's indeed a PGI product.

        [–]RebasKradd 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (4子コメント)

        It's a PGI product, all right. MWT was one thing, because IGP was the one on the hot seat there. But this...how many frustrating delays in every facet of MWO's development does this explain?

            Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Bryan Ekman, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Piranha Games. 14 years ago I founded Piranha Games with my business partner Russ Bullock to build exciting and engaging games that we love to play. Piranha is best known for our latest endeavor — MechWarrior Online, an online free-to-play giant robot combat game. MechWarrior Online's incredibly successful Founder's Program proved that we can work directly with our backers to help build a game for the community.

            On Sep 9th, 2014 at 12:00PM PDT we invite you to join us for the reveal of our next project. It's a big one, it's going to be the largest production ever undertaken here at Piranha, and we want YOU to be part of it.

            It's epic, it's online, it's sci-fi.

            Just below you will find a registration form. Filling out this form will register you for our new game and grant you an exclusive in-game item when the finished product goes live. By registering now, you can also name your Pilot – yes that's right, pilot. Ok, no more spoilers…

            I look forward to the future, and our journey to the stars.

            Sincerely,

            Bryan Ekman

            Creative Director/Co-Founder Piranha Games

            When they talk about backers, they are talking about actual investors, not suckers like us they milk in order to pay those investors back with their interest.

            "Backercorp gave us $X and in 1 year we repaid that $X (founders) and the next year we payed them their interest (clans)! It's safe to invest with us because you'll make money!"

            they're not selling games, they're selling short term investment schemes that seem to be working well enough for now.

            and maybe this new game is also battletech IP that they can hope to milk the established fanbase again. There are space "pilots" in battletech, arent there? because without a built in fanbase, i dont see how they're going to make anyone give a shit, knowing what is known about their development style

            and how many here would fall for PGI's big promises again? I would imagine quite a few, because Battletech. Maybe enough for them to risk trying it again.

              I'll wait until I see something more official to unleash rage, but I get the feeling this is going to turn into my saltiest editorial to date.

              If they're seriously pushing out some other game while MWO remains the minimally viable insult to the Battletech IP that it's been for the last two years, they'll never get another dime from me. They will have earned my ire, and I'll do everything I can to make them lose at least as much money as I've spent.

              I've been patient, I've forgiven them for so very many shortcomings, I've defended them at times when few others would, and I gave them a pass on knowingly lying to us repeatedly about deadlines, but I will not support this bullshit.

              Concerns about where the money goes is absolutely founded, and the short answer is net MWO proceeds after taxes, royalties to Microsoft etc... - go directly into the development of MWO. The speed of development is largely relative to the amount of money coming in from sales. Those sales keep a team of around 35-40 people (we have external contractors) working full time on MWO development and live operations.

              Our new game development is funded from a different source and we have been recruiting new talent exclusively for this project. We did move some staff around internally as needed to accommodate two productions, and their will be some shared resources (marketing, customer service, QA).

              This was Bryan Ekman's reply in the forums, so I figured it should be visible.

              Coming from a man/company that has lied willingly, knowingly, and repeatedly, this just doesn't mean anything to me anymore. I need proof. I need a publisher name, a real source, or something. I refuse to take their word at face value any longer. And if I end up being wrong for assuming that they've channeled MWO funds into this game, so be it; their own track record of lying outright to their community has driven me to believe it is the logical conclusion until I see otherwise.

              [–]Veneroso 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

              Pretty much. I've been cautiously optimistic about the game. I purchased everything so far and a bunch more because I absolutely love Mechwarrior. I have been in love with it since I was a kid. Of course companies will share profits between projects, that makes sense.

              What doesn't make sense is announcing a new project when your current one isn't even close to releasing features that you had planned for the launch of the original project.

              This company's track record has been far from stellar, but I have given them the benefit of the doubt repeatedly myself. This latest announcement gives me great pause over what this means for mwo.

              I am sadly forced to agree.

              [–]Kin3ticX 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (17子コメント)

              The last Free-to-play I did a founders program for was Tribes Ascend by Hi-rez Studios. It was ultimately a commercial failure for various reasons and all development pretty much halted after launch. However, Hi-rez did what they had to do and focused their efforts on another title, a MOBA game(SMITE). I remember the Tribes Ascend community reacting badly to that.

              Bottom line, PGI was going to announce a new game one way another as all games have life cycles. It is just tough to not get a freak out reaction from your previous game player base in the process.

              The difference here is that content is still coming. I don't think this means they are pulling the plug on MWO.

              [–]Tennex1022 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

              lol they are just following in Hiz-Rez's footsteps

              [–]wingbreakerCJF-Prime Troubadour 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (13子コメント)

              Yeah, except for the part where Hi Rez had already done that to another game, which they had never actually completed.

              [–]centagon 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (1子コメント)

              TA felt more finished than mwo ever was, and i believe they technically left one map maker on the project after their official 'we're out, suckers' announcement. Also, it had more options for the community to sustain it than mwo does.

              [–]keithjrSoresu 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

              I'm looking at the post somebody else linked by Brian...

              Concerns about where the money goes is absolutely founded, and the short answer is net MWO proceeds after taxes, royalties to Microsoft etc... - go directly into the development of MWO. The speed of development is largely relative to the amount of money coming in from sales. Those sales keep a team of around 35-40 people (we have external contractors) working full time on MWO development and live operations.

              Our new game development is funded from a different source and we have been recruiting new talent exclusively for this project. We did move some staff around internally as needed to accommodate two productions, and their will be some shared resources (marketing, customer service, QA).

              Looks like it's a closed loop, the money they bring in for MWO is used to fund MWO operations. So the only remaining question is where this "new" funding is coming from, and why it wasn't funneled into MWO. If it's a different publisher or investor and is interested in a specific product then that makes perfect sense.

              [–]RebasKradd 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

              Even if it is a closed loop, MWO deserves better than this. PGI has lowballed it and left it unfinished, and doesn't seem to realize that their reputation is tied to it.

                You know, I really hope that that's true. But didn't people say the same thing before MWO was released? Star Citizen looks great and has a much bigger budget, but it's not released yet and if they somehow mess up the release or don't continue to improve the game afterwards, it can still fail. And if it does, the internet will probably explode. I'm not preordering anything.

                As somebody who has given PGI the benefit of the doubt for a long time (legendary founder... Project Phoenix owner... and Clan pack owner (although even I couldn't bring myself to buy any of those Gold mechs... those prices were just... ridiculous) I really find this to be quite a slap in the face... I've dealt with many gaming companies over the years and supported lots of great things but I just hope that what appears to be true (that all our money has gone to this project instead of staying in MWO where it should've been) isn't true and this is just a terrible PR misplay by PGI (Who aren't exactly the masters of PR by any means). Guess we'll find out on Sept 9th when they unveil whatever "this new game" is...

                I honestly am. Everyone I've ever seen bammed up to this point violated ToS. Now I don't have to work within their system though. Now I don't have the desire to help them.

                You mean like us getting a new map? It's been almost a year and no new content that doesn't directly generate them cash. If development keeps on at this rate, MWO is looking like a slow motion home video of the Titanic.

                Mechwarrior: In Name Only will be a footnote reference on Sarna only. Shame is that we'll probably have to wait another decade before someone tries to pick up the IP again.

                Mechwarrior: In Name Only proved that the IP has a viable fanbase when catered to, and the next title will likely make a good chunk of change if it doesn't try to be a Call of Battlehalo ripoff with a miserable Esport kludged to it.

                I've never been on anyone's "side", I like MWO, it's a fun game. I don't like PGI. They're a horrible unprofessional company. They have no idea how to handle customers unless it involves resolving how to get them money. Once they have your money they could care less about your opinions. This latest round of bans proves what an unprofessional company they are.

                I'll make it all better when SC becomes moddable and I start up a Btech mod there. ;)

                Well that just adds further time to my boycott of money to PGI. Decided at the announcement of clans that until we got something solid and substantial in regards to the Community Warfare we were promised I wouldn't give them anymore money. So far I've stuck with it and looks like with the announcement of this I'll push any investment back further.

                In the end the only way to make them listen is to not give them anymore money.

                What it says when unlocked...

                CONGRATULATIONS!

                Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Bryan Ekman, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Piranha Games. 14 years ago I founded Piranha Games with my business partner Russ Bullock to build exciting and engaging games that we love to play. Piranha is best known for our latest endeavor — MechWarrior Online, an online free-to-play giant robot combat game. MechWarrior Online's incredibly successful Founder's Program proved that we can work directly with our backers to help build a game for the community.

                On Sep 9th, 2014 at 12:00PM PDT we invite you to join us for the reveal of our next project. It's a big one, it's going to be the largest production ever undertaken here at Piranha, and we want YOU to be part of it.

                It's epic, it's online, it's sci-fi.

                Just below you will find a registration form. Filling out this form will register you for our new game and grant you an exclusive in-game item when the finished product goes live. By registering now, you can also name your Pilot – yes that's right, pilot. Ok, no more spoilers…

                I look forward to the future, and our journey to the stars.

                Sincerely,

                Bryan Ekman

                There's nothing inherently wrong with the Crysis engine. Star Citizen looks great on CryEngine 3. Hell, the other day TotalBiscuit said of a game he was playing, "This game looks great, like every game on CryEngine, well, except for Mechwarrior Online."

                    Prepare yourselves PGI. We have tolerated their nonsense for too long and if they want to try and fuck us, we as a community will fuck them even harder then they have us. I wonder if IGP pulled the entire MW Tactics team for this project because it has been a colossal failure (sadly). If that is the case, they will probably have to face a lawsuit for failing to deliver a finished product and well, if they try to do anything of that sort with MWO, they will have a class action lawsuit on their hands that could find them all out of business. We have been a patient community in supporting a product, but the wrath that we will unleash will be a million times worse then any condescending post by Victor Morson and the goons combined.

                          They're already banning/suspending/muting anyyone who knows the history of Piranha Games / Jarhead Games / Rabbit Hole Interactive and their shady past prior to the official launch of A Universe To Deplore's website.

                            Glowing promises soon to be not kept, the next generation- and another imminent failure to bury some money in.

                            PGI is a studio that's made a practice of deliberately screwing things up and somehow making money off it- and I figure this'll be another bottom-of-the-barrel piece of game coding that makes it's profit by talking itself up with false hype and delivering on none of it.

                            Again. Kill this with fire.

                            They need to get MWO: Living Legends back online, screw this bullshit.

                            I built my first ever computer: Asus Gryphon Mother board, GTX660 card, I5 processor, new monitor, mouse, keyboard, tower, cooling fan, gold label power supply + Phoenix Pack/Saber, Ilya, Yen Lo, Firebrand, Ember, X5, Clan Pack up to Timberwolf, plus bunch of premium time and camo... Frist tiem ive ever done the Online PC game as I converted from console gaming. Somewhere in the $1800 range, that I couldve bought a PS4/ Xbox1 and a shit ton of $60 games.

                            And it makes me really sad, like I cant trust another game company again like a rape victim feels they cant trust another man. Ive only stayed to support my friends because they are the best thing to come out of this game. how does one recover after a huge back stab is beyond me in the PC gaming world.

                            I wonder if they're so sold on the F2P model's "iterative improvement" mantra that they think they can take ten years to complete two games and still retain an audience.

                            Point to consider: PGI has repeatedly had staffing problems on MechWarrior Online and claims they cannot even hire the people they need to properly continue work on this game.

                            ... where do you folks think the developers on this game are going to come from?

                            I'd like to double down on the death pool, please.

                              Wait and see. There are two distinct possibilities:

                              1. Obvious: We get a new founders program, leaving MWO with minimal support after CW.

                              2. Optimistic: MWO is so successful, PGI is building a fully independent game studio around it. For a working example, look at Paradox Interactive. They were able to start work on new products while keeping a good team on their EU/HoI/etc. line of games.

                              Unfortunately, both would have the exact same marketing spin, so we can not tell yet. Fortunately, the CW release schedule gives us a solid timeline for when we will know which way it goes. The end of the year will mark either a trickle of small fixes plus regular mechs and maps (based on old assets, minimal team), or a big bugfixing/polishing effort with more mechs and maps (same team, freed to do more general work).

                                [–]VictorMorson 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (2子コメント)

                                You don't need the glasses from They Live to see PGI for what they really are, just read what they write and compare it to reality.

                                When I talk about all the times PGI lied, I'm not just making up theories. I'm taking what they've said that directly contradicts what they said previously. i.e. when I say Russ lied at the launch party saying 90 days when it wasn't in the pipeline, I am not guessing at that. I know it wasn't in the pipeline because they later talked about putting it into the pipeline for the first time, several months later, and that it hadn't gotten to that stage before - even that it was still in the "design phase" considerably after.

                                Ergo, Russ knew it wasn't in development = said it was almost done. That is a fucking flat out lie. PGI lies all the time but that's an obvious example of it.

                                And now you've got Bryan lying about two things: Where the founder's money went for "building the MechWarrior Online community" (It went to Tactics, a fact they again admitted themselves), and the fact that they "hired a whole new team."

                                Two months ago they were talking about not being able to hire enough people for MW:O, and have lost several people from the company without replacing them.

                                They did NOT hire a new team and if anyone believes they did, they have horrible Stockholm syndrome.

                                I say post your book for where our money is going.

                                Now, I don't have proof of this one like the other things I've said.. but I think it's pretty obvious all those sweet Clanbucks went to Citizen of Space: The Shittening. PGI is backsliding back to it's "rip off big games" M.O. like when they were Jarhead Games, except this time they were too stupid to close up shop and reopen with a new name.

                                Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Bryan Ekman, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Piranha Games. 14 years ago I founded Piranha Games with my business partner Russ Bullock to build exciting and engaging games that we love to play. Piranha is best known for our latest endeavor — MechWarrior Online, an online free-to-play giant robot combat game. MechWarrior Online's incredibly successful Founder's Program proved that we can work directly with our backers to help build a game for the community.

                                On Sep 9th, 2014 at 12:00PM PDT we invite you to join us for the reveal of our next project. It's a big one, it's going to be the largest production ever undertaken here at Piranha, and we want YOU to be part of it.

                                It's epic, it's online, it's sci-fi.

                                Just below you will find a registration form. Filling out this form will register you for our new game and grant you an exclusive in-game item when the finished product goes live. By registering now, you can also name your Pilot – yes that's right, pilot. Ok, no more spoilers…

                                I look forward to the future, and our journey to the stars.

                                Sincerely,

                                Bryan Ekman

                                  I was subsequently banned for calling them cockbites (while on MOD Preview) for banning him for it, as nothing there really violates the CoC

                                  One of Punkass's replies got him banned in that thread too.

                                  As for the others, I'm not sure, but there have been reports on the SC forums (prior to today) of people getting banned 'preemptively'.

                                  Seems like PGI is rounding up the usual suspects prior to the launch in 3 days of A Universe to Deplore

                                  It's happening Golds, you have been abandoned. But if you want to keep feeling special, im sure they'll have another 500 dollar Gold package waiting for you.

                                  This. WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THEY LEVERAGE THE BATTLETECH IP TO MAKE AN AEROTECH GAME?

                                  Then they would have to deal with all the BattleTech fans they hate.
