I was mainly referring to the tabletop game then the IP itself, but fair. MWO is an abomination, but at least was better then MW5. The HBS game is great in a lot of ways and it's a shame that they didn't build it a little bit more flexibly to be a tabletop-replacement. MegaMek is really long in the tooth. The lore is damn near unapproachable at this point if you didn't come up with it alongside the game, especially with today's cultural sensibilities. Much of it boils down to "space racists". I think it's best to treat with broad brush strokes.

I think the IP future is more computer based these days. Logistics favours computer games unless you enjoy the specific activities involved like painting, terrain modelling etc. I agree that the "nation per house" theme has dated poorly but you may note I was talking more about the characters and stories. Most of which are not house royalty. The story telling potential is there and could allow for such a variety of gameplay experiences the sky is the limit. I have hopes that HBS peoples will gain control of the IP and leave the original owners to do "Stan Lee"-like cameos...
