Greetings Demigod user!

As you know, Demigod is a real-time action strategy game that incorporates tactical combat with role playing elements. When played on-line, it is best played with groups of people as opposed to 1 on 1 as seen in many other strategy games.

Since Demigod's launch late last month, we have been working with developer Gas Powered Games to enhance the game. We have a lot of exciting updates in the works. One of the things we have been particularly concentrating on is improving the game's multiplayer connectivity.

We have been gradually improving the Demigod network connectivity for those who enjoy playing on-line with other people. On Thursday, May 21st, we released an update that introduced our own network of servers to host the connection for those users who have had a hard time getting connected to other players online.

As a token of our appreciation to our customers who have waited patiently while we've addressed the on-line multiplayer difficulties, we present you with this 50% off coupon on purchasing a second copy of the digital version of Demigod for your friends or family. This will only be valid until early next week so this would be a good time to use it.

In addition, next week we will be sending out a second coupon that will give users 20% off of any game or application on Impulse. To help encourage an active Demigod community, we will be occasionally be sending out additional coupons to active players of Demigod (people who play more than a couple of hours a week).

We thank you for your business and hope you are able to enjoy these updates to Demigod.

The teams at Stardock and Gas Powered Games

*Offer Expires: May 29, 2009

Not sure if the coupon is for one use or everyone to use, but here it is: DG-DOPG-XQJY-AHIK

If this coupon is one use, and someone else has a coupon they don't need, please post it here 🙂. Larger the Demigod community the better.






This was not a hot deal. It was a one-time use coupon that should have been posted in free stuff to the first person that PMs. This thread has devolved to begging for coupons and that is not allowed in here. Thread is locked. Sorry folks.

Took a look at mine, the codes are unique. Probably one time use only. I would post mine but I already have a friend lined up for it.
 
Nice. I wish I had two coupons to give to friends. Stardock is a great company, and Demigod is a great game despite all of the issues they've been having. I've never seen two companies work harder to patch a game - there were three patches last night alone.
 
I have really enjoyed two Stardock/GPG games, Supreme Commander and Demigod, but I'm not going to let my enjoyment of the games (or the good intentions of the developers) stop me from saying that they deserved all the flak they got for publishing a game they hadn't finished coding yet. The netcode for both games was *awful* when they published it. The fact that they've worked so hard to fix it (and have largely succeeded) is no more commendable than the efforts of other game shops that do the same amount of work *pre-release* to make sure that things go off smoothly.

I was particularly annoyed when I saw a post from Stardock's head complaining about the reviews that penalized DG for its flaws. Something along the lines of, "Yeah, OK, the game has some serious errors on release, but we're going to FIX those, that shouldn't permanently hurt our review scores!". Please. You know how review sites work, you should have known that would happen. If you couldn't get the game finished in time, you should have either postponed release or accepted the poor reviews graciously. Either way you've got to take a hit for not meeting your promises, but don't whine about it.

THAT SAID, Demigod is a great game and the problems have been taken care of well enough, I enjoy playing it. Now is really the time to start playing, too, because you wont' have to go through the hours of aggravation the rest of us did. Here's my 50% off code if anyone wants it:

DG-VNVG-JFAU-NOWP

 
Hmm... I bought Demigod through impulse two weeks ago, and I've yet to get a coupon.

Not that I care that much, but it could get someone else 50% off.
 
It's too bad this isn't just like an Impulse weekend deal. I'd pick it up for 50% off in a heartbeat. Ahh well.

If anyone has a code they want to PM me, feel free 🙂.
 
if anyone has a spare coupon, please send one my way. I've been wanting to bite on this one, and 20$ is an instant yes!

** and I know it might look pretty bad with this being a fresh account, first post... but I've been on the anandtech forums for about a year and a half lurking as its an open forum.
Hot Deals is definitely amazing. =)
