Hellgate: London has the best subscription model

If you think any of this gibberish looks interesting, you should poke around and subscribe to my RSS feed to keep up with new content.

I was cruising through the Hellgate: London review in the latest PC Gamer (why doesn’t PC Gamer put their content online like every other major publisher? Come on, guys, get with the future), and I spotted some info on their subscription model.

Yes, I said subscription. No, don’t freak out.

Here’s the model: once you buy the game, you can play it online with other people forever, for free, just like Diablo II.

If you want, you can opt to pay $9.99/month for frequent content updates, like rolling expansion packs.

Duh!
