[spoiler]tl;dr below for the lazy -blam!-s[/spoiler]
When I first started hearing about this game it was having an epic measuring contest with MWO, and beings I liked the look of MWO over that of Hawken, I picked MWO. I never got around to trying Hawken, but the other day I hopped on MWO for the first time in a while to check out the new UI.
At the beginning of my first match I asked how the game was doing, and eventually someone said that Hawken had -blam!-ed itself.
Now that I was once again aware that Hawken was a thing I looked into it and found that is was moving over to Steam. Considering that Steam is a good thing, I don't really think that this is what that guy was talking about. Can any Hawken players tell me about what happened?
tl;dr: What the hell ever happened to this game?

I prefer the grittyness of Hawken over MWO. MWO's mechs look like child's toys.
