The War Z Producer Issues Open Letter

There’s no denying that The War Z has received some rather unpopular remarks of late. Attention for all the wrong reasons is still attention you may say, but not every marketer’s spin has a truth behind it, as it would seem Hammerpoint Interactive are now very much aware.

Opening it probably just would have infected the computer anyway.

They have some nerve!

their crappy Pay to Win game is a Joke and your gonna get ripped off if you spend money on it!

Just ask ALL the paying customers who have had their accounts BANNED for NO apparent reason.

they slapped WarZ together over night to cash in on the DayZ success. WarZ is no longer the games name cause the copyright has been terminated as it's too close to World War Z.

any day now your gonna here news of a console version and the PC version will be taken OFFLINE with NO REFUNDS!

WarZ = Nigerian Internet Scam!

it's the marketing, pr, and publisher's fault, not his. basically.

As a small indie company, I doubt they even have those departments. It's his fault for "stepping up" and becoming the face of the company to the media... ...and proceed to add soooooo much fuel to the fire. What followed (TOS changes to prevent refunds, pay2win implementation, player bans, etc) didn't help either.

...oh, and they'll need to change the name of the game due to copyrights, so he's probably trying to get the last couple of community bucks while they can. Just wait for DayZ if you're into zombie FPS.

he can suck all the dick he wants nobody's going to buy that piece of shit game now that everyone know's what they do about it. this is what happens when you try to rip people off.

roadkillers4136d ago

Sounds like a step in the right direction...

dennett3164136d ago

You mean it wasn't a good idea to threaten people who wanted refunds or call those who complained about your lies ignorant dolts who didn't know how to read properly?

I'm shocked to the core!!!

Hated Games That Actually Had Some Neat Gameplay Mechanics

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.
