I was a Diablo 2 superfan so I followed Hellgate closely when it came out. They had a weird two-class model where you'd buy the game for relatively cheap and could play the story mode and normal multiplayer like co-op, but you could also by a "Platinum member" or sth with a monthly sub or lifetime pass, and those got special bonuses like uh hold on Anyway the idea of paying monthly for a game was insane to me back then (and I still don't), so this is just what I read in forums: they knew the game was super buggy, like half the skills of a certain class plain didn't work, making the coolest one with twin swords disgustingly useless, and other stuff was super OP like a joke weapon giving armor bonus, but so big that the Engineer class' drone was completely untouchable with it. But the devs couldn't devote time to fixing this obvious stuff, because they had to keep churning out content to make the Plat users feel like subbing for another month was worth it, or rather not bitch if they had the lifetime pass. So every month they made a super half-assed endgame superboss, but because they didn't fix the OTHER issues, players instantly creamed them with broken builds and immediately screamed to fix THOSE bosses to not be boring and poo poo, so they devs just went into a death spiral of more and more issues, hemorrhaging subscribers until the servers were mercy-killed. The ricochet build sure okay mentioned was one such broken issue with the endgame content, because those were all huge-rear end boss monster models, and the bullets could ricochet inside the enemy model, so the bigger the enemy, the more hilariously quickly it exploded. There was no reason to play anything but the sniper class, basically. great poo poo
