To me, it just feels like a "f2p (+base game price) moneygrab" version of Day Z.
It is just a moneygrab. They retrofitted a previous game to ride on the Day Z popularity wave before that games hits retail. It's sad.

10 km2 equals a map size of about 3.2 x 3.2 km.
How in the fuck..?
Or maybe they feel attacked by outsiders of the community/game that in many times talk out of their ass?

Sorry, I can't take you seriously.
by many of them not even being consumers trying to shit on the game till everyone has no game at all because they shut it down?
Sounds appropriate.
The reaction came mostly from Steam users, whether or not they bought the game is immaterial if that game hurts steam as a whole.
Steam becomes a worse place for consumers if lying developers are not held to account for their false advertising of shit-still-in-alpha games. And if the Steam forums are given over to developers with North Korean inspired forum moderation; then those forums become useless.
Moreover, War Z has directly harmed the Day Z brand, which might actually be a good game.
So yeah, fucking with the main place PC games are sold, and hurting a legitimate developer makes the blowback nutpunch appropriate.
edit: and as far as I know, nobody is saying these guys cannot develop and sell their game, just not on steam.
I've always wondered something about War Z. I saw that quote from the 2 year dev cycle, but...
DayZ was basically quite unique, sure it had zombies like Left For Dead, Killing Floor and loads of other zombie games, but it was open world and the creators didn't even expect it to get this huge and popular. Then, all of a sudden the game gets popular and The War Z pops up.

OK it appears Sergey is getting his War-Z following (fanboys?) to upvote the game on Metacritic now.

You haven't been defending the game hard enough.

People who bought it in the first 24 hours on Steam were lied to in the game description. Anyone who bought it based off that was ripped off. Anyone who bought it because they thought it was the standalone DayZ was intentionally tricked with the Steam search results and the embarrassingly similar name.Sorry but anyone who didn't see this coming are just incredible gullible people. I can understand if you never heard of the game and wanted to try it out, but there were people who knew about all this shit and still bought the game. Sorry but you deserve what you get.
It's ok we forgive you. I used to defend the Playstation Network until the PSN hacks.

It's a scam, straight up and too many fell unfortunate victim. Thankfully, many get their refunds.
Yes I agree and those people got scammed and the developers are a bunch of scumbags for it. But I knew the first moment I saw the game a couple of months ago it would be utter shit. All the issues reported on various sites just confirmed that. People who saw the same stuff as me and still bought it... no you do not deserve a refund.
You shouldn't punish ignorance. Why are you putting the blame on the scammed people, instead of on the ones who perpetrated this shit?Yes I agree and those people got scammed and the developers are a bunch of scumbags for it.

That seems more like stress from typical development issues.

What are the zombies like in WarZ? Slow moving and eerie?
I await the zombie game that creates that sense of dread and panic that slow moving hordes can create, DayZ's epileptic buggy sprinters didn't do it for me.
Slow moving is nothing if you can't render in mass numbers though, which many people don't have the PC hardware to do. So, as a compromise, you get ones that are a bit faster and you don't have an unlimited sprint. DayZ is actually pretty terrifying when you first play it.
WarZ has its moments too, but it has a lot of polish to add. Literally a metric shit ton of polish before you can even compare the two.

Just watched TotalBiscuit's 40 minute gameplay video. This game looks like 100% trash. I feel sorry for anyone who paid for War Z, especially if they bought in-game items.
So, logged into War Z today and noticed it now says "Best played on Origin" and all the Crates now have "Origin" on them.
That was fast.

I think that's referencing the pre-built gaming PC company, Origin PC.
You do realize that is for Origin PCs: http://www.originpc.com/
