I'd like to also echo the chorus of "Huh?" for the 50% off coupon. It doesn't really thank players for sticking with the game through its broken infancy. Rather it rewards players who held off because of reviews or word of mouth (or pirated and can now play a possibly fixed game for half the price). It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth that you've essentially used the release population to beta test an unfinished game, and as a reward for such a thing you're going to tur

This game and Dawn of War 2 both work under a similar framework: release a pared-down version of the game with the promise of better-than-average support and frequent content down the line. Ostensibly this is supposed to prevent piracy, or at least reward
