I love the idea of massiv Battletech and I’m pretty sure they have shown something way back after the Clan Invasion KS. But if memory servers it was made by fans not by CGL. In regards to “what kind of convention game do you like” I’m of two minds:

Game that takes all the convention time and shows of nice stuff is nice to look at but I wouldn’t want to participate. Even “a day long” game isn’t for me. I want to see all of the show if possible!
Jump in and out games or games with a short length to get a taste of the fluff, universe and rules. 30 minutes max. A list to put your name in with time slots is a great idea!

Basically what has my most interest are things that I could recreate at home without breaking the bank or selling peoples organs.

But in general I just run around and watch. Because most cons are just too crowded and waiting in line for a 10 minute teaser? Nah. Did that at GamesCom two times and that really is stressful.
