Microsoft Clears MechWarrior4 Free Launch

Vamman writes "If you've been following the drama surrounding the free release of MechWarrior4, then you're probably aware that the initial announcement, made last summer, was a bit premature. Now, nearly a year since that announcement was made, MekTek Studios has announced that Microsoft Legal has given clearance for the free release of Mechwarrior4. This move by Microsoft Games couldn't come at a better time for the community, as the owners of MechWarrior are attempting a reboot of the franchise."

Can't be...

Microsoft is evil...but mechs are soooooo cool(and impractical).

Yet Microsoft is evil...

But mechs are really, really cool.

"So is Microsoft no longer evil? I'm sure some slashdotters will find a way of turning this nice move by Microsoft into something sinister."

We all know this is part of the Microsoft agenda to convert human souls into Mechwarriors.

That little prick Gates is behind it all. His smug smile and endless charity all a guise to cover his plan for world domination.

Open your eyes people

Well...

There's no such thing as a free launch.

You know how good people have mistakes and accidentally do something evil?

This is the same thing only reversed.

Oops! my bad!

Are you guys *still* doing the "Microsoft is Evil" bit? Man, get with the times. Microsoft is harmlessly wandering in the desert. Now, Apple is evil. Facebook is evil. And Google is under evaluation...
