Meh, I don't care if every dev in the world does shit like this. Game is fun, I enjoy it and have enjoyed it from the time I bought it. Well worth the 30 I spent on it. I think I've played something like 100 hours of warz. Super cheap entertainment at that price.

And as I said earlier, at the price it is on steam it's a steal. Great price to fun ratio.

Edit: I love how entitled everyone is, though. Keep on holding to those principles. You guys make me laugh with all your business ethics noise. Every company will attempt to maximize profit. The end. I have realized this. So I just buy games I think will be fun for me.

This game is fun if you're looking for a less realistic dayz with better graphics and less bugs (in my experience). At $13 on steam you won't find a game that accomplishes this better. Listen to those who have given valid disagreements and determine for yourself if the cons raised matter to you. Go on twitch and watch people play the game. If it looks fun to you, go for it.

This is hilarious.

He didn't make big rigs racing, he just sold the engine to the people who made it...

Update: In response to Kotaku's request for comment, Valve issued the following statement:

From time to time a mistake can be made and one was made by prematurely issuing a copy of War Z for sale via Steam. We apologize for this and have temporary removed the sale offering of the title until we have time to work with the developer and have confidence in a new build. Those who purchase the game and wish to continue playing it via Steam may do so. Those who purchased the title via Steam and are unhappy with what they received may seek a refund by creating a ticket at our support site here.

Nope, he was both a programmer and producer of the game (Sergei Titov). You can look at the Wikipedia page for it.

Holy shit. This has been posted a million times. No he did not develop big rigs racing.

Risen, you have low standards and expectations when it comes to video games, and that's ok, to each his own. The problem is that you're not the only one, far from it. You all are the reason why micro-transactions, overpriced DLCs, and unfinished games have been flooding the market for the past few years.

First of all, the WarZ devs deserve all the shit they're getting currently. Blatantly lying on Steam, claiming the game is out of alpha/beta without changing anything, that interview, buying stuff for real money that vanishes with the next in-game death. Geez.. Not gonna see my money any time soon.

Having said that, the TB-video seems a tad bit unfair. It's not that all the negative points he points out are wrong. They're all quite valid. But half of them are just as valid for DayZ. Not having a weapon and getting killed for every wrong move you do? Check. Random falling damage from terrain? Check. Running around in the middle of nowhere for minutes on end? Check.

Yet TB's DayZ video involved him being led around by Rocket and having everything explained to him. First impressions really do matter, I suppose.

Then again, WarZ is even worse when it comes to random bugs (and since we're comparing this to DayZ, that is saying a whole lot). Player models not loading after they killed you, impossible reflections, all that micro transaction bullshit.. And TB rightly points out that one game is a game you pay money for, the other is a free mod. So he certainly has a point there.

The game itself is bad, yes, but, frankly, so is DayZ. DayZ still has tons of bugs that would never be acceptable in a finished product, and yet a million people played it at one point. I can absolutely understand why people still enjoy playing WarZ. I just can't understand why anyone would still want to throw money at money hungry liars, though.
