Demigod Status Update

Brad Wardell's back with bug news, piracy clarification, downloadable content promises, and a whole lot more:

Well, what a dramatic week it's been. The teams at Stardock and GPG have been burning the midnight oil this week.

But here's the thing: While piracy is annoying, you can't blame piracy for this problem. Let's face it, there's plenty of data out there about how many pirated games are being played. We should have looked at that. We assumed since Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations, both of which sold extremely well and got great reviews, that the # of pirated copies of Demigod in use would probably be in the same ballpark, maybe twice as much. But had we looked at what other publishers have said, we would have known that it's not unusual for there to be hundreds of thousands of warez copies in use.

Ive heard the bugs in this game are pretty terrible but i hope it gets fixed soon because it seems like a pretty good game.

Wish it had a better story driven single player campaign tho.
I dont like to play online or on lan too much.

I wonder if we're over the hump now or if this is the next Call of Duty.

darkronin2293526d ago

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.

Chaoticmoon3526d ago

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!

Great article it is nice that someone documented the history of MOBA's.

midnightambler3526d ago

Interesting stuff, especially for a noob like me.

qwerty6763526d ago (Edited 3526d ago )

"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.
