I heard they weren't publishing any new material anymore, not even model and some company bought the rights to make the models and republish old stuff so you could still play.

It's been a while, but off the top of my head, FASA shut up shop when MechWarrior: Dark Age was in the planning stage. By that point publishers had already started stinging the novels with restrictive word limits and Michael Stackpole was being vocal about discontinuing his participation. The rights to the games went to Wiz Kids and that's when BattleTech was eclipsed by MechWarrior: Dark Age. BattleTech wasn't killed off though, and "Classic BattleTech" became its name for a while. I think people still just called it BattleTech though.

I tuned out at that point. BattleTech as a tabletop game is still around, although my interests lay more in the literature and PC games. Since I didn't care for the direction those took, I switched off to it all.
