The Final Nail in the Coffin?

Hellgate London is dead and it's not coming back, according to games website GameCyte. They've spoken to Asian publishers HanbitSoft, who say that while they'll keep their own servers open, they're unable to operate a similar service in North America or Europe. Publishing rights for these areas are still held by Namco Bandai, who shut their own servers down at the end of January.

It seems that while updates for Hellgate will continue to be produced in the US, it won't be playable online outside of Asia.

Why dont they just allow the North Americans to play on the European servers I know ping might not be the best but at lease you would still have access. I really feel bad for the lifetime subs on this one... Gonna make it tough on future offers from different publishers.
Not fair

Seriously? America makes the updates but can't play them? Someone get on this and offer Namco cheap servers!
