This is nonsense. If companies are willing to post below the price they are paying (considering things like loss leading customer acquisition which seems unlikely in this scenario) they are dumb and the software developers they employ are dumb. A simple "if the price is I paid to acquire this, stop offering downward" would stop this. Nonsense.

Now, nearly a year since that announcement was made, MekTek Studios has announced that Microsoft Legal has given clearance for the free release of Mechwarrior4. This move by Microsoft Games couldn't come at a better time for the community, as the owners of MechWarrior are attempting a reboot of the franchise."
