Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.
I only play Demigod (and most other strategy games) with friends vs. AI. To that end, I find that playing over a LAN or through some sort of VPN gives a better experience than trying to play online. You can't really track that statistic easily though unfortunately. I'm curious how much LAN play goes on that doesn't get counted in the online tracking.
As a paying customer, I have to say that Brad is absolutely right. I hate DRM, not because I want to pirate a game, but because I hate the pain I have to go through to be able to enjoy what I purchased. I purchased Sins of a Solar Empire last year, and my experience was one of the major factors for me in buying Demigod. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect with the genre bending, but my previous experience with Stardock gave me enough confidence to move forward here.&nb
