dat overreacting on reddit
Seems to be NeoGAF too.
I want to add I spent ~400 odd hours playing DayZmod and only 3hrs on DayZ since buying it the first week. I don't feel cheated in the slightest. I knew from the beginning that I was in for the long run with this one. As long as Dean rides DayZ into Beta then I am completely fine with him leaving. He gave me ~400 hrs of entertainment for free, the least I could do is support his idea a little further even if it IS flawed.
I was being hyperbolic, which you must know is something I do since you took the time to look at my steam account. I'd imagine you must be one of the C tier guys from DayZ GAF or something.
$30 was paid to help fund development with the expectation that Dean Hall would be involved in full capacity. Announcing a YEAR IN ADVANCE that he's leaving tells me that he doesn't care about the project anymore and is already thinking about what he'd rather be doing.
It doesn't matter if I never played it or played 1000 hours, I have reason to believe that the investment made isn't going to pay off and ideally would want it to be returned. It's not even my $30, I was gifted the game. I would want it returned to that person.
1.5 million people have invested money into a product that he's called a flawed concept. It's an incredible slap in the face to everyone, especially those who are going to now be doing most of the work and oversight on the product going forward.
Dramatic reading worthy
Money? I take that.
Flawed concepts? I make that.
Perfect multiplayer? I chase that.
But I'm not a developer.
