Game Stop releases Demigod early, causes chaos at Stardock
It has recently come to the attention of the public that Game Stop had released Stardock’s PC RTS Demigod as early as last Friday when it was originally slated for a April 15th release date.
As displeased as they were, Stardock wasn’t as displeased as they were at the mass panic they had to endure when thousands of players began playing the game online:
it was Easter weekend. And many of us had just finished a good solid 8 weeks of massive crunch and were looking forward to the weekend to recover. Instead, we found ourselves back at work having to turn on and configure the multiplayer matchmaking servers (we had enough for a beta but not for thousands of people).
In lieu of this Stardock has decided to break the street date themselves and have given retailers the go ahead to begin offering the game to consumers.
