So you've probably heard of Arma II, no? Well, then I'm sure you've heard of Day Z. If not, Day Z is a zombie survival game that was originally a mod for Arma II. Like many popular mods, they often outsell the game it originates from. This of course grabs a lot of attention from developers and publishers that would like to help launch a full standalone version of that mod. However, it also grabs the attention of potential copycats.
Not only that, items and food are not found, they're bought with real cash. A freemium system, in a game that's not free. This guy has outdone himself.
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.
The banner image copy/paste is crazy sketchy.
It looks like the publisher didn't do a good job with their PR marketing after all. They had it coming ;-)
I feel sorry for anyone who gets this as a Christmas 'gift'
It's an awful shame, really.
Geez do I hate that argument, that the game copied DayZ's name. Z is often used in zombie media (e.g. World War Z, ZDay, Z-Day, Z for Zombie etc.).
