Quote:I believe it would be inappropriate to label HG:L anything but a complete disaster. Even excluding the quadruple billing issue and the Asian server wipe, it’s glaringly clear that the game was rushed into production in a very crude beta state. Subscribers are basically funding the continuing design of the game, since the money apparently ran out and they had to ship. Wake me in 12 months, if the game has any stability; although Age of Conan and Warhammer will be out by that point, so it’s probably irrelevant. A shameless money grab by FSS; I’ll never buy their games again. Clearly the Diablo magic is gone.

I think this is a very harsh summary, but unfortunately not one without some truth to it. Probably, the bottom line is how HG:L plays as a game: if it's a good one it may yet succeed. But even if HG:L turns out to be a really good game (for whatever audience) this launch has done them no favors.
