Even though Demigod wasn't a success initially, they are not abandoning it. But rather are trying are trying to improve it and support the community. They did not even put any DRM in it.
Stardock are awesome, support them.

it actually sold pretty well in the end, i don't remember specific figures but i think it was like 200,000 sales....that was probably including impulse and steam downloads etc

Demigod isn't on Steam since Stardock uses their own Impulse system, so that makes it even more impressive.

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

darkronin2293543d 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.

Chaoticmoon3542d 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.

midnightambler3543d ago

Interesting stuff, especially for a noob like me.

"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.
