EPTSo the 100,000 could be the same person logging on and off all day long? Or 100,000 different players have signed on that day (no matter how long)?

I expect you hear this all the time but for what it's worth I think your language and tone in this thread is utterly unbecoming. This whole fiasco is quite frankly embarrassing for all involved, I don't understand how people get so worked up about games. Then again I'm not an angsty little teenager anymore. The game cost £10. I've paid similar amounts for indie games that were unfinished or lacking, where I knew what I was getting myself into. I have yet to buy this game, I'm not a fanboy. And there's nothing wrong with a game with terrible graphics, heralding from PS1 yourself, you of all people should know this. It seems like a large portion of PC gamers jumped on a bandwagon, throwing tantrums just like the children playing COD on their Xboxes. Just like a mob. End of the day the developers will be the ones who suffer, not the managers who messed around. You clearly don't like it when people rubbish your channel/videos/work, so spare a thought for the developers. Don't just take a big shit on them - make sure you put the seat down, wipe it and then brush the skid-marks off the bowl after flushing if you catch my metaphor. Why did I get worked up 'cause of "game only". Well excuse me for paying money for a product which the developers lied about, banned people on forums saying "fuck you noob", (yes there is a picture of someone having been banned from forums and being called out and refused for refund 'cause it was his mistake buying the game) amongst other things. People raising issue about the devs lying about their game is jumping bandwagon and throwing tantrum, I don't follow your logic please elaborate. Hopefully, and yes I really hope the developers do suffer from this as they should, you see, some of the things they've done is illegal. I can't figure for the life of me why people are defending the actions of this developer, if it was Activision or EA people would be at the doors of their HQs ready to lynch the CEOs. As for the game itself. I played it with few of my friends before refunding it and honestly, even if I look through the buggy alpha/beta, whatever state the game currently is in, I can't see very promising future to be honest. The very reason I refunded the game is because I don't see this game becoming an excellent choice for its genre. | ||

The bolded part is what a lot of people are upset about. Like or not, Steam is a huge platform and seems like it will continue to be a staple of PC gaming for quite some time. The game went live on Steam with a store page that contained false/unclear information that unfortunately led a lot of people to buy this game. When I purchase a product on Steam, the store page is one of the first sources I use for information on a game because I've purchased so many games from Steam, read their store pages, and often times that is enough to entice me to purchase the game. I'm sure many gamers are in the same boat, and this is where much of the ire has come from. Had the store page matched the actual state of the game when it was released on Steam, the only thing people could get mad at would be getting suckered by another zombie game. Had the product not gotten put up on Steam, I assume it would still be chugging along the same development cycle it had been, with presumably a lot less users since it was on top of the store page for a bit. Whether that showcases the influence Steam has on PC gamers, or something else, I don't know. Also, for me personally, I became skeptical when I noticed the genre was listed in part as Massively Multiplayer. Just looking at the rest of the games on Steam that are listed by the same category, its quite easy to see this does not fall into this genre when any of the planned features that could allow it fall into the genre don't appear to be in the game. But I think a reason like this would certainly play second fiddle to the above. As a side note, I think the genre of Massively Multiplayer needs to somehow be redefined to something more specific since people like to take things so literally, but that's another discussion entirely. | ||

Presumably 100,000 accounts, though the number given by warz was significantly higher around 150k. That number doesn't particularly mean anything to me, though, just as long as there's people to kill and team up with. | ||

At this point it could be the most awesome game in the world, and I would still feel bad if I would have given the devs any money by buying their games. This has long stopped being a gameplay issue. | ||

It's even stranger if you're someone who bought and played this game. Trying to fathom why people defend it is mind boggling. Even when I was playing and the zombies didn't move at all, people were still telling me that they had already fixed the bug. People might say that I'm biased, and I guess that I am. But that's only because I played he game. | ||
