I see what you did there. ^^

I bought a "lifetime" subscription for Hellgate: London.

They are "ZOMG BUY THIS NOW LIMITED TIME ONLY!" scams IMO. At the point I bought it, it seemed like it was going to be a great game. I was only 70% or so through the first play through, looked at how much I'd played Diablo 2 and said "Why not!"

I get to the 2nd play through and its nowhere near as fun, then the game pretty much dies. Then the cherry on top of the crapcake is that it was sold and it is now "freemium" and you have to buy the acts beyond the first two etc.

I played it for all of 5 minutes with the "relaunch", remembered how HORRIBLE the mouse control was (game needs 50%+ on the mouse setting which works very poorly with high dpi mice or it just doesnt track. If you do set your mouse to low sensitivity and bump the in game, menus are very slow to move through).

Borderlands was what Hellgate: London should have been. I'd buy a Borderlands style Hellgate game in a heartbeat.

Blah, I am torn on this subject. There are some games that this could be a good deal. I purchased the Star Trek lifetime and my buddy is enjoying the heck out of it. There are some games that you can buy the lifetime and its great, until the first expansion, when they say you can keep playing for free, but if you want to play the expansion you have to pay the $15. Then there are games like Hellgate where it just was never worth it.

It's a dice roll and the dev's get to decide if they want to load the dice or not...

Yea I didn't regret my STO one, It paid for itself before the switch. I still log in for new episodes.

I won't buy SW-ToR. Shortly after the announcement, I thought: DAMN, at last a SW-Game with a good PvP! And now? It's just as bad as WoW.. even the WAR-PvP is better built. No thx, sir.
