Title: WARZ WARNING
Post by: Pterrydactyl on December 25, 2012, 01:45:45 pm
Many of you know not to buy it, and many of you research games before you buy them, so you noticed the shenanigans.

Some of you however, are idiots.

So, just a warning:  Avoid WarZ at ALL COSTS.

List of recent shenanigans (youngest to oldest, only what I've tracked):

Steam issues mass refunds for WarZ purchasers

Steam Pulls WarZ after receiving thousands of customer complaints about false advertising

WarZ developer receives trademark infringement cease and desist (or something like that).  Their july 2012 trademark of War Z is too close to "World War z" a paramount production that's been in the work for some time

Additional 1000 players banned for hacking, 3 unbanned as innocent (All claim innocence, hackers post videos of themselves hacking and not getting banned)

800 players banned for "hacking", more than 99% claim innocence, hackers begin posting videos of themselves hacking and not getting banned

WarZ goes for sale on steam

Developers accused of cheating (spawning items, insta-killing)

WarZ "Released" after "years" of development (actual time estimated at 6 months)


tl;dr

AVOID THE EVERLOVING SHIT OUT OF WAR Z

No, it was chronologically backwards (the farthest down was the first incident)
