Hellgate: London Closing in January
Hellgate: London, Namco Bandai's troubled MMO, will be closing its doors on January 31, 2009.
Until that time, the firm will offer "server support free of charge to all fans and players of the game."
This closure follows a string of setbacks for the MMO including a harsh reception from fans and critics alike, and the collapse of developer Flagship Studios earlier this year.
Since that time the MMO has been operated by publisher Namco Bandai, though apparently the firm sees no reason to continue their support.

Is anyone surprised? After Flagship went down, the IP was held in limbo, with no hope of any new content being created or offered, no hope of patches, nadda. Why would people continue to play this game with that and the already existing stigma?
