The Culture: Catalyst Relies On Outsiders To Sell BattleTech

Been wondering what Sven van der Plank has been up to? Lots of Mechwarrior 5 based lore videos.

That's a Playlist. You have well over a day's worth of videos, the last of which by itself is over 9 hours.

Notice that this--like with Tex and the BPL--is from the videogame side of the property, and not the Tabletop side; Catalyst can't be bothered to do jack shit to promote the game they licensed, relying instead on the fans to do that for them.

The problem (for Catalyst) is that no one needs to give Catalyst money to play.

Meanwhile, these faggots beg on Kickstarter.

Razor was right when he cut that video and he is still right now. Cut Catalyist out, and that includes 3D Printing of any minis you want (not that you need them; standees or counters will do--and have done--just fine.

If used products aren't good enough, Captain Harlock will hook you up with the PDFs and Lulu's happy to print off new copies based on those PDFs (with a few conditions).

The same means are useable for every other Tabletop publisher that steps out of line- yes, G-Dubs, that includes you. You don't have to give money to people that hate you, so pirate away- that is one way to compete within the Network Effect.
