Re: Hellgate London
Well, I'm interested, but also gun-shy after the DRM issues with Bioshock and M2TW/Kingdoms. I read somewhere that there might be some "phone home with your system info for marketing reasons" issues with Hellgate, but that wouldn't bother me as much as invasive, non-removable DRM (like Kingdoms), or that plus limited activations like Bioshock.
So what's the scoop.... anyone know? These days I will not jump on a new PC game without knowing how the copy protection works. I'm fine with CP that isn't too invasive, but that seems to be where all the publishers want to go, lately.

Re: Hellgate London
I've played the demo and will admit that it seems a bit underwhelming at first being in the classic Diablo style, ie more hack and slash rather than storytelling, but like Diablo again, Hellgate London doesn't seem to be addictive, but it gets to be.

I believe this phone in service is just their way of making sure that you aren't hacking since online is a significiant portion of the game. There will also be some marketing, but its supposed to fit in with the game's enviornment so any advertisement will blend in. As for copy protection, I believe that there is none, but don't quote me on that

Eh, I'll stick with Titan Quest for now.
