Hi Mike,

With the huge interest in the old Mechcommander and Mechwarrior games, have you guys at HBS considered doing a stretch goal to hire an employee to get the old games on GOG/Steam? Mechcommander is already free to download from Microsoft and the publicity and mindshare by getting it on popular storefronts like GOG and Steam would be incredible for both fans, new fans, and HBS. So with Jordan's contact to Microsoft in regards to licensing, Mitch's past with Mechcommander, and the fans' support through this Kickstarter, why not make an effort to get the old games available for digital distribution?

It's a crime that these classics still aren't being properly commemorated through digital distribution, whereas stuff like Grim Fandango, Homeworld, Dark Reign, and tons of other old games are getting their due recognition. It would be great to see HBS doing an effort with this.

Thanks in advance,

MechWarr

Correct, PGI owns the rights until mid-2018, possibly even mid-2020

Any plans to get the old Mechcommander games on GOG/Steam? As a stretch goal perhaps? Increase mindshare, pay respect to the legacy, etc.
