Because no mods saw it and no one reported it. Simple as that.How was Kewk not banned for that?
I think it's less that and more that this guy also happens to be a moderator on their forum.Just out of curiosity - on the general topic, how is a video contest for your game bad marketing?
Like I said earlier, the method sounds like a loophole and I wouldn't be surprised if they changed that.Now we have WarZ, where instead of pointing out laughable current dev comments [seriously not a beta anymore?] or Valve's admissions process, we get flooded with graphics discussion and false information about respawn times. Yes, it false, because You can respawn instantly if You want.
Which thread have you been reading? Or is it me that's getting confused? Should've gone to sleep hours ago, but this stuff is too fascinating in its trainwreckyness.Now we have WarZ, where instead of pointing out laughable current dev comments [seriously not a beta anymore?] or Valve's admissions process, we get flooded with graphics discussion and false information about respawn times. Yes, it false, because You can respawn instantly if You want.
So GAF, focus on important things, instead of spamming threads with info we know for months.

As far as i'm aware you can only respawn instantly if you make a new character or buy instant respawn with real money. Or have i got that wrong?
Dunno, they planned that from the beginning with 24-48h timer.Like I said earlier, the method sounds like a loophole and I wouldn't be surprised if they changed that.

I really hope this bizarre story has a happy, justice-filled ending.
How has nobody reported these guys to the advertising standards agency in the UK? Surely this is false advertising

Yes. This is all about customer's "misinterpreting" what you put in the above screenshot and for "misreading" the information about your game's features.

ooh ooh, I complete forgot. Didn't rocket call out Sergey on the DayZ forums for registering multiple viral marketing accounts there to promote WarZ?
You would think that Neogaf is the board with civilized discussion, where You cant find flood of youtube/reddit like stupid posts, but its not true.
First, i remember, was rage about PoE and on me for defending the game, now people loves it, later it was all hate about lack of kickstarter funding for Star Citizen and dozens posts calling it shady or misled campaign - now everybody loves them and they've set new funding record, next it was and it still is whole debate about TOR F2P rule-set, which is basically ok, not great but completely ok, but of course all topics with it are flooded with hate. Same goes for Origin and hundreds other stuff here.

I can't read the interview at work, GameSpy is blocked here. Did he really say that? So not only are they a bunch of liars and scammers, they don't even give a damn about hiding it?"Let's be frank: when you read "up to 100 players" -- what does it mean to you personally? I mean, for me it doesn't mean that I will play with 99 other players."
I don't even have words for the shit coming out of this guy's keyboard. Who can type that seriously? I understand English is not his first language, but... honestly. It's a logical fallacy.
Sorry for not talking about the stuff you want. Won't criticise the devs any longer for trying to scam every potential customer.You would think that Neogaf is the board with civilized discussion, where You cant find flood of youtube/reddit like stupid posts, but its not true.

A Shocking Interview With The War Z Developer On False Steam Store Claims
http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/the-war-z/1226980p1.html
There's more. Man, what a moron.
This needs a new thread/thread title because VALVE let it happen, especially the crap on their forums. It's not just the War Z devs that are at fault and people should know about Valve's complicit behaviour. A lot of people will read a thread with Steam or Valve in the title that wouldn't bother with just a War Z thread.
If steam customers don't know about it, they cannot pressure valve into changing things.
Hi. Are you this thread's dubq?

Holy shit. Despicable. I hope this dev (and their game) go down in flames.
Titov will just make a new company with a different name. After all, it wouldn't be the first time...
UPDATE: Valve is investigating The War Z Steam forum after gamers complained they had been banned unfairly.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...o-misread-steam-page-hits-out-at-dayz-fanboys
It has begun!
They are not investigating the game, or it's advertising method. Just the forums. In fact, I guarantee you that the game will never be removed from the store.
I don't call that a victory.
There is no real reason to investigate the actual game. While the devs (especially Sergey and Kewk) are unprofessional, the game itself is fine. They've missed some time tables when it has come to releasing bigger features but that happens with plenty of games. Developers shouldn't put out time tables for features when they aren't ready for any game but they do it to appease the community. Other than that the game is a fun substitute for Day Z.
@RionaaM You can use up to 5 characters at once. If one of them dies you can just switch to another one. If all of them are still waiting on their timers then you can just delete a character, create a new one, and start playing again instantly.

FYI: It seems "The War Z" big image has been remove from the steam front page. Is anyone else seeing it gone? Could be some stuff happening behind the scenes.
Ugh, seeing two of my friends playing this on Steam right now is depressing. I wasn't able to warn them in time.
1.5 out of 10. YOU'RE WINNER!
