Save MechWarrior!

So, it turns out that Microsoft is yet again managing to screw over the Machwarrior franchise. I still remember a while back when it was announced that Mechwarrior 4 was going to be released for free to help promote the series in time for a franchise reboot. Well, this would have already happened by now, had Microsoft not jumped in with a division of its lawyer army and kept the deal from actually going down. The company behind porting the game to a free version, MekTek, is asking for help.

All the details are at BigDownload, but to sum it up, MekTek has a mech expansion pack that they offer for free for Mechwarrior 4, and they are asking for donations in exchange for download. Of course, nobody is forced to donate anything, but in this case I think I may just donate a few bucks their way just to help make sure the group gets the support is deserves.
