This just cheeses me off to no end. I renew my subscription just to get the new Dark Age story....which I still had to pay for even with my subscription...wtf?. Then I keep it going for another month waiting on new fiction and NOTHING....I'm sorry, one lousy story that which was part two of a series which I didn't have access to. This is the third time I've gotten burned by Battlecorp and I am not doing it ever again. This model is so messed up and it alienates fans...at least those of us who don't have the money to waste on overpaying for digital short stories. I mean, you can't even go to the forums without a subscription. So there is no place to voice my opinion except here.
Just make all the damn stories available for purchase on Battleshop. I bet they make a lot more money than the scam they are running now. Keep the subscription if you like, offer exclusives to those who subscribe, but don't ask me to pay $10 just for the privilege of shopping at your store.
This has me so upset that I think I might be done with Battletech for good.
