I think stardock should make Demigod free to play. It seams to be the model that is working for games like this. Make it free to play on steam and they will get plenty of new players.
Totally agree. It's kinda worthless right now for those of us who paid back in the day since there's no player base. If it went F2P, there would be plenty of people to play with. And if the player base grew large enough, they could add some DLC of some sort. LoL has a proven business model. I know they can't just easily turn Demigod into a LoL clone, but they could release, say, 4 of the demigods for free and then pay a bit for each other hero you want to unlock. Dawn of War 2 released a new hero for Last Man Standing recently for $10. More than I wanted to pay, but plenty of people did.
Demigod is a good core game. There has to be a way Stardock could make some more money from it, and revitalize the player base/community.
