A former War Z forum mod by the name of Devin has revealed behind the scenes details including how the developers randomly ban accounts of players they'll know who'll pay, and plans to abandon the game if it doesn't become profitable within 6 months.
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.
It had Potential, but if you can't ban hackers because you feel your game will lose profit then your one messed up company...
Not a very optimistic outlook when the dev's are already stating they will jump ship if the game doesn't perform to their expectations in a six month time period. What happened to standing behind your product?? It's alright to have that thought, but don't state it publicly before your product has even seen the light of day.
u better give me my damn money back lol
“They randomly ban accounts that have a certain amount of time spent playing in-game, knowing they are hooked on the game so they re-buy the game.”
Wow, going to avoid this company at all costs. Then again I never cared for WarZ. Just going to wait for DayZ standalone.
Hardly legitimate info. It's just a butthurt ex-mod trash talking the devs who fired him. However developing and playing War Z certainly hasn't been smooth sailing.
