All I have to say is

MechWarrior: Online. Yes Piranha also is being published by IGP, but its crowdfunding (the founders packages) is essentially what will keep this title afloat until its completed. A great franchise that literally died years ago is being revived for a niche audience with genre that hasn't seen the light of day in years (Mecha Sim), being founded quite a bit by crowdfunding.

To put it into perspective, IGP has given Piranha 10M in funding (more or less). As of when the Founder's Program ended, it raised about 5.2M. That's a pretty significant amount of money for a Free to Play Game.
