Any game developer that can't be asked to make their own EULA and instead steals it from League of Legends is destined to fail.

F1ach: Well, I tend not to buy games from Steam if possible, but hopefully the game will be fixed and released, I loved Dead Island, so hopefully it may turn out like that. :)

misfire200: Do not get your hopes up...this was a complete failure of a game and will continue to be a failure. The developers have and are only in it for a quick cash grab. They saw the popularity of Day Z and tried to quickly jump in to the mix. Unlike what the developers claimed, this game has not/was not in development before the Day Z mod came into existence.

Now, I have no problems had War Z been developed and been purposely made into a good game. It was rushed (they mainly took there crappy war inc game, slapped some new features into it, redid the camera and came up with some slightly better textured graphics and are calling it War Z). Even the name War Z was chosen to hopefully get a majority of the Day Z followers to buy it, not too mention to hopefully coerce half the populace into thinking it is the standalone Day Z game.

Finally, the developers have already stated once they made enough money they were no longer going to support it. It is a complete money grab, plain and simple.
OK thanks for the heads up, I hadnt heard about the game until this thread, so I have no knowledge whatsoever about it :)

This game is actually worse than movies directed by Uwe Boll...heck maybe he will pick up the movie rights on the game and make a movie that is actually better than the game (ratings wise) =P

And they think Valve isn't going to fuck them up in court after court?

Now I am worried about another zombie game by the name I nfected.

It seems that if you die in the game you can't play for 4 hours unless you pay to respawn early!

I remember an interview with Hideo Kojima years ago where he said he would love to make a zombie MMO and if you died then that character would remain in the game as a zombie and you would have to create and pay for a whole new account to play the game again and kill your zombie self.
He said it in a 'would be cool but would never happen' joking way. Seems some greedy devs decided to go for it.


There's also articles and forum posts, 1 from an ex game mod, saying that people with lots of game hours were banned for no reason. The dev's knowing that they were "addicted" to the game and so would pay for another account.

Novotnus: You may enjoy reading some ancient history then, my friend.
Wow! Limbo of the Lost must be one hell of a game with so many great games in it, visuals, puzzles and all.

Greenlight wouldn't have made a difference. Greenlight can only measure the interest in a game, not the state in which it is. People wanted this game. Only if they offered the game at a different site before, that could have influenced the Greenlight process. Which is impossible with this game, afaik, as it uses steamworks for MP.

Looks like Valve didn't check the quality of the game before selling it .

Fabulous! Thanks a lot! This is going to make for some great before bedtime reading. I bookmarked it. I hope I don't have nightmares though.

Anyway, Valve could destroy them for using and abusing Steams reputation to "scam" it's users.

It damaged the trust between steam as a company and it's clients.

If Valve wanted to, they could posses their asses for eternity.

The devs released a back handed apology blaming the customers for "misreading" the store page. Basically said that they were clear that this was a "foundation" edition. Whatever the hell that means.

Valve will not be happy. This does hurt them and IIRC it was the first time something like this happened.
