Looking forward to the Open Beta, I hope they worked out whatever bugs delayed the original.

They did fix it about three days after the patch that broke it.

I think this is intentionally misleading. In the financial world, 5m = 5 thousand. 5mm = 5 million.

5 million is not really a difficult target to raise, technically.
Especially with the Battletech franchise - how long have their fans been starving for another game and how big their fanbase was to start with.
Battletech universe has always been a great source of revenue. Just don't understand why the game (or even the materials itself) keeps on changing publishers. Maybe it has something to do with the ongoing troubles with legal issues with Macross franchise. |

5 million selling founders packs? no. 5 thousand selling founders packs? More likely. And like I said, in the financial world, 5m means 5 thousand. 5mm means 5 million. |

If it was 5 million, they would have to sell 41 thousand $120 founder packs.

This would seem to be the breakdown based on the stats on the forums Type-----------Number------Value Per------Line Total
Not my numbers though so if you like to check it out head over to the official forums, there is a entire thread dedicated to this. This have been a good conversation |
