I’m still salty about Cerberus’ ‘lifetime’ subscription

Hellgate London Lifetime sub owner here. Also lifetime plex pass.

Can pretty much guarantee they will make sure not to honor this. Lifetime subs for things are always a cash grab, if it goes too much in favor of the purchaser they will find ways to make the deal better for them.

Yep, two years before Borderlands delivered a much superior experience.

At the time I had spent six years playing EverQuest, Ultima Online, Anarchy Online and World of Warcraft in various capacities, and this was looking like an MMO borderlands like thing. Few MMOs had gone under so soon after release.

Apparently the same devs are making a sequel, and I think i’ll make sure to pirate it unless they give it away to lifetime Hellgate London subscribers.

Nowadays I know better than to trust any kind of weird offer like this announced before launch. They’d only do it if they knew they were going to win… or were so worried they were going to go under.

Yeah it was a different time. The gameplay was solid though imo.

Why would anyone be stupid enough to not honor them? Now, even if they backtrack, their name is mud. It’s so stupid.

Especially when we are talking about VPNs. The reason so many companies are sprouting out of the ground to offer VPNs is because the margin they have is huge.

Damn straight. I never heard of this company before but you can bet your life I will never do business with them.

They will just change their name in 6 months. They all just get bought and sold non stop so you cant research if they are good or not. Kind of like those one apartments near a college that always change names and colors to trick freshmen into leasing with them.

It’s BS they didn’t know about it. They got the financials before the deal. Even if it wasn’t directly listed as a line item it would have been a part of the expenses.

They still thought the deal was worth doing as it was based on incoming revenue and outgoing expenses.

This is going to be Plex Pass in a few years if Plex sells out even more

I’ve had a lifetime Plex pass for many years. I have converted completely over to Jellyfin after trying it.

It’s more involved to set up for secure remote access, but once in place it is so much smoother to use.

This is why the first question is, is it open source?
