If there was ever any part of you which still felt for some reason that The War Z might be worth a look here’s another reason why that’s not a good idea.
Visitors to the game and its official forums were greeted today with a rather ominous message detailing yet another hacker problem for the game. While The War Z has become infamous for its on-going issues with hackers and questionable methods of dealing with them, this one appeared to be far more serious than usual. The message in question, which can be found here, began with the following:
“We are sorry to report that we have discovered that hackers gained access to our forum and game databases and the player data in those databases. We have launched a thorough investigation covering our entire system to determine the scope of the intrusion. This investigation is ongoing and is our top priority. As part of the remediation and security enhancement process we will be taking the game and forums down temporarily.“
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.
Good lord, this has to be the most unfortunate circumstance for a game ever lol. This thing has been ripped apart on so many different levels that I "almost" feel bad for them.
I feel bad for neither Hammerpoint nor the people who kept playing and giving them money after everything that's happened. Too bad, so sad.
i guess thats what happens when you upset the internet LOL. they had it coming.the devs,the hackers and the people who still defend this game (if any) are all as bad as each other they can keep at it for all i care
Mmm smell that Karma bakin' in the oven?
What's the deal with the hate for this game? Did they screw over the gamers? Thanks.
