[quote who="milldogg10" reply="4" id="2135185"]Wait, I'm confused. Is Stardock going to keep the download on Monday only available to the beta testers, or is it going to release it to the mainstream too, because: A. I want the money to stay at Stardock. and B. I'm too lazy to go to the "local" Gamestop, considering it's like, 10-15 miles out of city limits. [/quote] It's still up in the air I believe, but earlier they stated if enough evidenc

They'll probably just tell you to email their sales team and get a refund process started.
[quote who="Blitz64" reply="22" id="2135102"]I think we are talking about $2,000 worth of loss. probably at most 100 preordered people bought it at gamestop instead of stardock. Hardly worth a lawsuit or anything. It's more of a prestige or rightous thing. Bestbuy, target, walmart, etc are also at loss here, not just stardock. I think Stardock should make Gamespot take that initial extra 2/3 shipment they backed off on. [/quote]<
You're got it partially backwards, a funded game can create more motivation to improve the game. For example , the guys that work on Dota have real jobs and things they like to do, working on Dota is a hobby. On the other hand, this IS Stardock's job. There are plenty of reasons for support after sales, keeping a game going is easier than going through the entire game making process. Continued improvements will lead to more sales, an example being DoTA. If you recall DotA wa

[quote who="JKnuckle88" reply="3" id="2134967"] Quoting timothy_sfker, reply 2 Oh ok, thanks for the quick reply Kryo. I've played countless games where they have a forum, and I must say i've never seen the type of support here(especially on Easter weekend). This nice to see in this age of bang out a product, make a quick buck, and forget about support(companies will remain nameless but everyone knows who). [/quote] I was s
Can you join Pantheon with other players? I haven't heard any mention of this. I know it wasn't working correctly during beta, but what I want to know is if you have a group if you can all join the same ranked matches. It sounds like a silly question, I know. The hopeful obvious answer should be "yes", but I wanted to confirm. It would be horrible if you could only join ranked games with random people and it would also defeat the point of competitive team play (which I dearl
I want to know if your ingame name can have spaces. Because the underscore is well.. an underscore.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="22" id="2134830"] We're extremely unhappy about it but there are other ways to address this than lawsuits. [/quote] Cake will solve any problem at any place.
You can sue anyone for nearly anything, the problem comes with getting it to court and then having it hold up in court. :P And the sticker Frog is talking about should be on the original box shipments (not the games themselves) that get sent to the warehouses? I've been told they're usually split up and then sent to individual EB games in regular shippments, usually with other games.
[quote who="rainwolfj" reply="21" id="2134702"]I know a lot about the game development process, I know that the end if very stressful, don't challenge my knowledge on this stuff. I also know that what GS is doing is not only horrible but also not out of character for them, this kind of stuff happens all the time with them. Additionally I know that it wouldn't be overly complex to push it out today and that it wouldn't be too hard to call up a few people and get a team of volunteer
[quote who="Blitz64" reply="3" id="2134687"]There will be clan support. The AI computer is pretty stupid in this game since they just comit suicide and give you tons of gold sometimes. [/quote] They should replace the AI Demigod models with floating brown bags marked with "Gold\XP" in bold black print, eh?
[quote who="rainwolfj" reply="18" id="2134695"]Wouldn't a simple solution to be push the Direct Download release up to now? I have a download preorder in but am mad tempted to go buy the boxed copy. I'm not going to because I support fellow game designers and not greedy ass corporations, but it seems like by not responding with a early release you're punishing the people loyal enough to wait it out and rewarding those who buy early from GameStop. [/quote]
Joh48Smith...It shouldn't even be something to argue about or feel cheated\upset about. You need to understand that the only reason Stardock\GPG aren't cleaning up Gamestop's mess (without obligation to, at that) right now is because they are getting a well deserved weekend. I've recently graduated from a college that focuses mostly on game development, I've three friends currently working on crappy wii party games (got to start somewhere, eh?) so I have a g
Most players, especially the beta players who are already pretty good at the game, aren't playing yet because the game was supposed to be released this Tuesday. No teams will likely be forming for a while. Once a bit of time has passed and everyone gets into groove with their favorite demigods and gets to know the levels I'm sure clans and teams will start popping up. That's your best bet for joining one. I hear Demigod is supposed to have clan support, but I'm simply don't kn
Happy Easter, and thank you for being honest Stardock. More companies should follow your example, rather that of EA Games. Don't get me wrong, as a business you have every right to see customers as living bags of cash, but it's nice when companies care a bit more. I'll be enjoying this game during my weekend, and I simply can't wait. Thank you for your hard work!
[quote who="Reinier001" reply="8" id="2134664"]where can i preorder from you guys? i preordered the regular edition from Amazon.com because it was $35 vs $50 for the CE (didnt think a music cd and 4 inch figure were worth $15 more, would have prefered an 8+ inch extra figure only instead) [/quote] On the main page for demigod, there's big preorder buttons for digital and CE + digital downloads. www.demigodthegame.com
[quote who="kryo" reply="9" id="2133960"] Is this because I preordered it and its not out yet Correct, your order will be completed and you will recieve your serial/download access on Monday/Tuesday.

[quote who="Mostly_Red" reply="3" id="2133924"]whoah an hour? thats short, how bigs the game? i thourght it was 8 gig ( i live in australia and i've got th fastest internet, 1500-2000 ). What about my cd key problem? when will i get that [/quote] The cd key will be emailed to you. The game is probably 8 gigs uncompressed, I'm told the download itself is 3 gigs though.
[quote who="diablo5" reply="19" id="2133886"]I'm a fan of gamestop. Although I don't like some of the things they do, Malls would be pretty boring without them. [/quote] Not the best retailer in my personal opinion, but gamers in the US have little choice otherwise as far as physical game vendors go. Best Buy and Wal-Mart, so called competitors that keeps gamestop-eb games from being a monopoly are both jokes and usually never
[quote quoting="post"]Hey, recently today I went onto the Impulse program and purchased my Digital Download of Demigod, $55(AUD). Since then I have not recieved any CD-Key's or anything to do with it, it's not even listed under the tab "My Games" on Impulse. However when I download Fences (Free) off Impulse i was emailed the CD-Key straight away. Is this because I preordered it and its not out yet? If so would there be anyway that I could download Demigod now so when it reaches the 14th of Ap
[quote who="Aarojw" reply="8" id="2133782"] Quoting GreenReaper, reply 3 It'll do for a start . . . but try not to let your teammates get all those points. Those could be yours! Remember, they're your competitors too, in a way. *grin* Indeed. Don't forget the backstory to the game: only one demigod can ascend to godhood. This seems to contradict how the game actually plays, but there it is. [/quote] No, no! 
[quote who="Avalon" reply="22" id="2133689"]Gamestop.com and GameStop stores are sepearated entities. They did not break street date because there WAS no street date. [/quote] Gamestop bought out EB Games a while back, I thought? Or am I living in a different world?
[quote who="Demi-Guy" reply="9" id="2133636"] Quoting GreenReaper, reply 1 I think I-Dusk-I needs the extra practice, anyway - he won't be racking up favour points at this rate: Ok since i'm new at playing and all...how do you get more favor points....even though he won you definetly got more... [/quote] No, he won. That's why he got more points. He got 220 and they each got 10.
Good to know, thank you for the information. So it should only take a couple of hours at those speeds. I'm very impressed and very happy, looking forward to Monday\Tuesday even more now.
