Now getting this massive coverage from all over the world would be a good thing for Hammerpoint, unless of course people started claiming they were a bunch of liars and copycats, that they are offering a game that is faulty advertised, and that they do not support features that were listed on the game’s Steam page. Which is basically what has happened so far, but let’s take things from the beginning."
Let's face it, there are some hated games out there that are just complete trash. The developers responsible for these games usually have little clue about game balancing and their poor decisions usually leave their game to die in the dust.
However, sometimes a developer will make an absolutely terrible game that still has some admirable game mechanics.
A continuing look at the various controversies plaguing the video game industry. In Chapter VIII: The War Z, SimCity 2013, Brown v. Entertainment Merchant's Association, and the less-than-stellar public image of the Xbox One prior to, and shortly after, its release.
Open world zombie survival sim Infestation: Survivor Stories - better known under its original name, The War Z, before altering it due to a trademark issue - has sold 2.8m copies since its launch in November 2012.
This has been the most exciting thing that has happened in gaming in quite some time . I think i have eaten so much popcorn since this saga has been going on.... (exciting is prob not the right word hmm funny would be one)
This video is for the devs. If you put out a game that's not even UNpolished and then on top of that screw over the consumer in other ways as in when they can play, you're gonna get in some hot water.
I also hear fraud isn't a good thing, either..?
Edit: I didn't embed the video because it started at the beginning of a playlist.
And I'm glad Valve was kind enough to refund everyone, great company.
