Battletech was starting to have a renaissance, but they've made some questionable decisions with their authors.
I still have some teams for casual play, but the company is off the rails.
Yeah, I have to wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.
Firing Blaine Pardoe is the dumbest thing Catalyst Games has ever done. And all on false allegations by a person that wasn't even who they claimed they were at the time the charges were levied. This was proven to be a 100% hoax and they still chose the false accuser over the guy that has been keeping their fiction line going for years. I believe they even gave the hoaxer a job? Clown World.
Catalyst and Goodman Games are wolves in sheep's clothing. They are either compromised or they were biding their time. Steve Jackson Games is another company I've lost so much faith in.
I have plenty of old
Battletech materials if I still want to play, and all of the new stuff is readily available online if you know which seas to sail.
