BattleTech - Flashpoint Expansion released

Why would they do that? I mean? it's on GOG, so why bother with that kind of stuff?

Like Darkheart said above it's for "security reasons" and mulitplayer. Even with the GOG version which I have you had to log-on to use the pre-order shadowhawk skin.

Yeah, the log-in stuff is a bit stupid. I think it was the same with the KS skins. Apparently, it is for "security reasons" and mulitplayer.

Nonetheless, can't wait until this is integrated into RogueTech. I have no interest in playing the vanilla game ever again. But RogueTech? I will play this for years to come!

Ooooh, I gave up on the vanilla game but I had a look on that RogueTech you mentioned.. That looks good. I really like that. Thank you for the tip.

Yea 'security'... they mean DRM.

Yep and I foresee more games published by Paradox going this route.

Well, if they continue in this vein, it will just be another company that I'll tend to avoid. Meanwhile, I'll hope they smarten up.

The first two are just content updates hopefully the third one is an actual expansion. Basically it will add more to the campaign to play not just flashpoints, & urban warfare.

Huh? This adds career mode, if I remember right, which is a more open way to play.

Personally, I'm going to wait for more to come out before I play through again.

Not what I want Zloth as I said more campaigns please. Not a sandbox mode.

Guess I'll have to wait till some ambitious modder makes one instead.

Seems the file is only 1 MB for the GOG download and I hardly call that an expansion. So $17.99 for that file now I see why you have to log on to the server to play.

Seems it also comes with a few more engine bugs & longer load items.

Update: The GOG patch is 1.8 GB's but the Flashpoint DLC installer is only 1MB.
