Demigod developer Stardock: "The system works pretty well if you have a few thousand people online at once. The system works…less well if there are tens of thousands of people online at once. And if there are over 100,000 people, well, you get horrific results such as the game being incredibly unresponsive due to simple web service calls that were considered pretty benign during the beta that suddenly start to bring down firewalls and such due to the sheer massive number of calls that are being made."
Stardock, one of the the longest running indie developers in the video game industry, has launched an intergalactic RTS Steam sale to end all RTS Steam sales.
That's a lot of RTS games... time I just don't have! Like I need my backlog to get any bigger!
Ya it's a pretty decent sale but The Taken King, MGSV, Fallout 4 soon... too many games.
Here’s how a StarCraft mod helped to shape the future of gaming.
I still haven't found a MOBA I can get into. Did LoL for awhile, but it was such a slow grind in terms of ranking up and getting money. DOTA 2 just scares me. Infinite Crisis was alright, but I lost interest in it pretty quickly.
Why does Dota 2 scare you? Just wondering because imo its a fairly accessible game especially if you get some friends together to play with you. Also if you are just scared of sucking dont be, just have fun and ignore those who flame because if they are flaming then they probably suck too and are just trying to blame you for any of their mistakes. So just download it AND HAVE FUN!
"From mod to sensation" to over-saturation.
i dont like how all these companys are now trying to make mobas, the markets already been taken by lol and dota.
they should come up with something new instead of just copying.
GamesBeat recently compared the most popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) titles such as League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, and Dota 2 to each other, but many other games in the genre are also worth checking out. Inside you’ll find a selection of MOBAs from the past, present, and future and the unique elements they have to offer.
Coupled with the Gamestop fiasco of releasing this game early, I'd be interested to see how this develops. Stardock is pretty much the new Valve on PC as far as quality and product support goes, so I hate to see them get shafted out of their well-deserved money.
WHO GOES THERE
That's not cool.
Wow, that's pretty messed up. This is when pirating is taken a bit too far. I honestly feel sorry for Stardock.
I won't lie: when CoD4 first came out, I immediately pirated it for the PC. I had a blast with the single player, yet still felt pretty guilty. As soon as I got a PS3, CoD4 was one of my first game purchases. I made 100% sure to support Infinity Ward. I couldn't allow a great dev team to loose profit from my initial selfishness.
It's no different with this case.
Play the game, love the game, buy the game! SUPPORT THE DEVS!!!
i dont know how to play online. :( but i guess it doesnt really matter. cause i suk at this game right now
