There should be an option when you're going through checkout to buy it for another account. You'll pay, but the registration will go to the account you specified. Obviously he'll need a unique account for this.

Go to the store, add it, and when you're putting in billing info there's a checkbox that reads "This order is for another person...".

Whats with your brothers email adress ?

 

alternatively, you can create a new email account for you.....there are enough providers out there, so check one out.

Doesn't work with Demigod.  I order the beta with one email for billing and gave it to my Impulse email.  I enountered the same multiplayer login problem as people that had ordered with a different email than their Impulse one.  It was fixed with the account merge, but that wouldn't work if you are buying for someone else.

Unless they managed to fix this then the only way to get Demigod for someone else is with a retail copy(I think they still have the different email problem so the gift problem should still be there if that is true).

Well, that's not how it's supposed to be, and they should probably be informed it's not doing what it's supposed to :P

Your best bet is to email [email protected] and explain to them what you want to do. They should be able to point you in the right direction. :)

Hop into IRC (or Impulse > Community > Chat and pick #demigod). There are a bunch of Stardock guys there, you should be able to get an answer fairly quickly. Bug Yarlen, he can kill me later.

Did someone invoke a Stardock employee?  :)

 

We've tested this recently so I know it works.  Add demigod to your cart, choose the option to buy for someone else, enter in their email as much other data as you have, enter in yoru paymetnh options and you should be fine.

If something fails, shoot me a PM and I'll look into it.

Sales and support do not work on the weekend . . so do it today or wait until Monday in case somethign *does* go wrong.

I think each time you get invoked you lose more and more typing ability.
