One of the writers at Aeropause installed his brand new copy of Hellgate: London, only to be greeted by the SecuROM message telling him of an Original Disc error. Once again, copy protection hurts the legal user and not the pirate.
IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.
I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.
PC Invasion: Hellgate: London is back on Steam, but it's not what you expect it to be. It's a single-player game in the vein of Asian MMOs.
Let's take a look at the loot-based shooter that started it all and set the path for Destiny 2 and the Borderlands franchise.

They actually are. It'll be a VR game. Not sure what Hanbitsoft is thinking. Supposedly Hellgate is doing GREAT in Korea, but not-so-much outside of it besides a fan revive called Hellgate: 2038. I'd actually love to see Bandai and the creators of DOOM team up for another rumble against Hell's forces.
You and me both, Lon3wolf. I want a full new game or a REALLY good remaster. I think in today's market, it'd actually do a lot better under the proper team.
It's still alive, haha. There's a fan revival currently going on that just entered Open Alpha. I've actually tried it out. It's actually pretty solid and their servers are definitely as good as you'd hope for a private server.
the atmosphere is incredible. f they remade the game with todays graphics but kept the actual look and feel of the game i would spend a ton of money on it. Engineer baby!!
It's a shame Hellgate: London did so poorly. It was an interesting game, and well worth a sequel.
You can actually play it today! The fan revival has been a solid experience for me so far (aside from getting a good disc off Ebay or Amazon).

Just a note, you will need to make an account on their site, use a disc to install, and proceed from there.
I have NO idea why do they even bother putting this anti piracy measures on games that at the end ONLY cause trouble to the owners of the legit copy
For example Bioshock and now Hellgate even with their SUPER protection were cracked very shorty after release
And the ONLY ones that get all the S-IT are the legit owners...for example I lost 2 F-CKING activations for Bioshock since uninstalling it didn't removed it and the revoke tool didn't even worked
play the rip...
of course you might not get to use the online still for a single player game the rip is so much better. No disk needed and all spyware removed.
I avoid new games like the plague especially on the pc until they've been tested true. Crap like this is why. 50-60 bucks for a game and they think Ill pay when they jam up my machine with crapware.
don't blame them for putting a piracy protection thing in there. don't blame them for accidently ruining the game for you by putting it in there. instead blame the pirates, blame the people who downloads illegally, which makes the game company have to put the piracy protection in there to reduce the amount of people downloading it.
like i said again, don't blame other people for what others has done. it's like beating up your ex's new BF because your ex is the one that cheated on you. don't do it, beat your ex instead because she's the one that done it, why blame another person for a person's action?
If all games are cracked even before release, so anyone who know how to, and want to can get a game cracked instead of buying (or like many I know, buy the game if its good, play the cracked, I se NO moral problems with that). Right. Step two is that the people that DESPITE THIS buys the game, might want to use it freely. It would be WELL in their rights to do a backup, so their damn kids don't wreck it, or to play it without a CD.
Now, people get pissed because the "game makers" put a lot of usless crap, and malware on their pc's, they can't use the stuff the way they want, and they start to look for options. Viola! Another pirate is born. I blame it all on the manufacturers. If they can't trust their product enough to sell, perhaps they should be in another line of business. Make games for the gamers, not warez advertisment!
There IS NO WAY to copyright "well enough" to make it impossible to crack, without TOTALLY taking all your personal rights away. The ONLY way is to make boiled broccoli tastier than chocolate cake!
