You may not agree with the politics of Stardock’s Brad Wardell, but no one can deny that has always been one of the most down-to-earth game developers.
Willing to admit the faults of Elemental and apologize for it, Wardell is making a good attempt to make up for the company’s mistakes with the game by offering the upcoming expansion pack to early adopters of the game.
Anyone who purchased Elemental: War of Magic can expect to have Elemental: Fallen Enchantress added to their Stardock account free of charge.
He sent the following letter to owners of Elemental:
Dear Stardock Customer, If you’re receiving this letter, it means you purchased Elemental: War of Magic before it was released.
Elemental: War of Magic was a game we had very high hopes for. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment both to us, as well as to many of our customers. Stardock’s success in its nineteen years of existence has been because people know if they buy something with our name on it, it’ll be excellent. With Elemental: War of Magic we failed that expectation.
For the past year, Stardock has been working on something new — Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. We went back to the drawing board to create not an expansion, but rather a new game in the Elemental universe.
Fallen Enchantress is currently in beta. Both the beta and the final version will automatically be added to your Stardock account free of charge.
Tomorrow, January 19, at approximately 3:00 PM EST you’ll be able to download the beta version by visiting: download.stardock.com.
We hope you find Elemental: Fallen Enchantress to be a game that lives up to the expectations you had for War of Magic. We thank you for your support and look forward to your feedback.
Sincerely,
Brad Wardell – President & CEO
Stardock Entertainment
