Quoting Istari in pacovs thread
"Reading through this thread really does make clear why Brad stopped participating in these forums.
If you don't like Demigod or think it is "broken" then don't play it. As far as we are concerned, Demigod is a good game that works well. It isn't perfect but no game is and Gas Powered Games continues to work to make it better and Stardock too has worked very hard to make the game better as well.
Users who think that their purchase of a video game entitles them to be abusive, rude, and obnoxious on the forums are not welcome in our community.
I am locking this thread."
Reading through this thread really does make clear why Brad stopped participating in these forums.
BUT, pacovs thread gave us a voice that may have been heard (as it was said that frogboy suggest we take this approach). Okay, there r the few immature ppl but there are those that rlly wanna help. So in the end its those who r willing to help that lose out in the end because their suggestions are going unheard.
If you don't like Demigod or think it is "broken" then don't play it.
Maybe say "if you dont like playing demigod, then ask for a refund". I dunno if its a matter of money or if its for customer satisfaction, but wat i do know is that the most important thing to achieve is customer satisfaction. I think a way to satisfy long term customers is to repond to them, and communicate more frequently. Also, acknowledge those that post in the ideas section. Those are the ppl that are enthusiastic about the game.

Yes it may be, but as far as im concerned, you're making the game for the customers not urselves. So if theres a common complaint/concern, obviously it needs to be worked on.
It isn't perfect but no game is and Gas Powered Games continues to work to make it better and Stardock too has worked very hard to make the game better as well.
Im glad to hear it. Patience is a virtue. People arent perfect, so their patience has its limits also.

I completely agree. However that being said, we are entitled to OUR opinion. No matter how it's said, it still needs to be taken into consideration. Not blocked. Locking threads is an easy option and is a form of ignorance. It may suggest to us you're not actually willing to face the issue with us, but stay against us. And those that feel strongly about their 'say' will go ahead and post another thread.
If you dont like some of the posts because they are abusive, rude, and obnoxious, ignore them but at least give the people who are comin across in a positive and civil manner some time and an avenue to be heard.
I am locking this thread.
Does this mean you wont answer our questions?
An online game is only as strong as its customer base, so if you dont support the positive ppl that rlly wanna help this game, then you subsequently have no game.
Block this thread if you want, but that will answer ALL my questions.
