Demigod Status Update

Brad Wardell's back with bug news, piracy clarification, downloadable content promises, and a whole lot more:

Well, what a dramatic week it's been. The teams at Stardock and GPG have been burning the midnight oil this week.

But here's the thing: While piracy is annoying, you can't blame piracy for this problem. Let's face it, there's plenty of data out there about how many pirated games are being played. We should have looked at that. We assumed since Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations, both of which sold extremely well and got great reviews, that the # of pirated copies of Demigod in use would probably be in the same ballpark, maybe twice as much. But had we looked at what other publishers have said, we would have known that it's not unusual for there to be hundreds of thousands of warez copies in use.
