Anyone else enjoying all the posts on the official forums from players claiming they have been "FlagShipped again." I know this is the first game I have bought in my lifetime that I have felt ripped off from purchasing. I should have checked the forums before I ran out and bought the retail.

 

Nah, we're all just trolls who live to destroy perfect games before they release.

Yup, one of the guys most responsible for Diablo, Warcraft and Starcraft is just one of the worst video game developers ever.

Champions Online's "problems" and Hellgate's issues do not take away from the fact that these three games are perhaps three of the best PC games ever.  No one thinks RTS without Warcraft and Starcraft.

WRONG WRONG WRONG

To correct you, what makes Bill Roper a total loss to any company is when his leash is *off*... when he was at Blizz, his leash was *on* (to no surprise, as Blizz knows its shit) and so he wasn't able to go around doing all these idiotic things (like the payment plans for hellgate and champions, which have basically turned out to be scams, especially in the former's case and quite possibly as we shall see in the latter's case).

The only thing we can credit Bill Roper for, for Diablo, warcraft and starcraft, is not inflating his ego so high that he was able to fuck over Blizz!

So, offering refunds is bad?  This whole topic is made of awesome.

How exactly was Hellgate London's lifetime sub a scam? Are you insinuating that Flagship knew  the game was going to go under in a year, and intentionally ripped people off? Because that would make you incredibly foolish and naive.

As far as the Champions lifetime sub is concerned, that's a good deal, as quite obviously, Champions will be around for a long time (see: CoH).

I can be obnoxious too and make up reasons why he is good, but I don't have to.  Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo are much more important than any other game that he will develop, (especially some silly superheroes game), and he has already solidified his position as an important member of the game developing society.

F*CK BILL ROPER.

I dont care about whatever he did on Diablo.

What I do care about is what he did with Hellgate London. M*THERF*CKER! 

I cared for that sh*t, lost a lot of time following that, bought it, played it and it s*cked.

NO FORGIVENESS FOR BILL ROPER.

Okay, I have to speak up about this:

If a company determines (through market research) that the average player will stay with their game for less than a year, then offering a lifetime subscription for the cost of about 1 1/2 years will make them lots of money.

It's not about how long the game will last, but how long the average player will stick with it.

That's the shenanigans-free explanation.

LOL how are you even asking that?

I can't be bothered to explain, look it up on the net. Type in 'hellgate london scam' on google and you'll probably find out why
