BattleTech Is Dead-Long Live BattleTech -- 11:36 pm CST, Update by The Master

Just got done reading some stuff on rec.games.mecha, and some other stuff over on WizKids Battletech website, and it's official. BattleTech, as those who played and loved it for 20 years, is dead. They're remaking it into a new "clickbase" system, and moving the story 20 years in the future so they can toss the current storyline. Blech. Oh, well. I rarely have time for the game anymore anyway, so I'm not going to shed many tears. Heck, Eeyore will probably celebrate the death of one of my extensive list of hobbies :-)
