As an apology to fans, Stardock President Brad Wardell stated at GDC today that early adopters of Elemental: War of Magic will be entitled to receive a free copy of its sequel.
The original Elemental (pictured above) started out with a rough launch. It was incredibly buggy when it first came out, and even after an early patch, there were problems aplenty. To make up for it, anyone who purchased the game prior to October 31, 2010 will be given a free copy of Elemental: Fallen Enchantress.
“We’re going to spend a couple of million dollars and give the sequel away to show our fans we’ve learned from our mistakes,” Wardell said. “We released Elemental two days early because we were so excited for people see it. We wanted our fans to see the masterpiece we’d put out.”
