The tabletop game seems to be doing well, only behind Warhammer 40k, afaik. Mechwarrior 5 has been met with mostly positive reviews, if you want the experience of actually piloting a mech. Mechwarrior Online is still around, pretty much unchanged since 2013, every mech has a free, non customizable version you can pilot.
For a tactical PC game very akin to the tabletop, BATTLETECH is the most recent, with fuckloads of DLC.
Favorite mech from MechWarrior 2! I should just get into BattleTech, how’s the franchise these days?

The BattleTech PC game also has fantastic mods that add tons of Mechs, vehicles, and historic events from the setting.
I recommend playing with YAML if you like customizing things.
Paradox or EA?
Made by Harebrained and… yeah, published by Paradox. GOG link https://www.gog.com/game/battletech_game
75% off at the moment too. Guess I’ll be adding that to the library.
