Hammerpoint’s zombie MMO has been beset by scandal since launch. Sean Knight worries that the bad press will impact on the similarly named DayZ
DayZ's latest console update seems tiny, but datamined files reveal what Bohemia is really preparing for 2026. Here's what players missed.
DayZ Frostline DLC gets review-bombed for its price and content. Dev responds, saying "No one is forcing players to buy it."
Yes, I saw that! The DayZ Frostline DLC has indeed faced a lot of backlash from players who feel that the $26.99 price tag is too high for what's included. The DLC adds a new snow-covered map called Sakhal, but many players feel it doesn't offer enough new content to justify the cost.
Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel, responded to the criticism by pointing out that the studio has received very little revenue per hour of gameplay from the game over the years. He even referenced the Beatles song "Please Please Me" in his response, highlighting the frustration with the situation.
It's definitely a heated debate.
DayZ has now managed to hit its new all-time-high player numbers with the release of the new Frostline expansion.
Sadly, I think it will affect sales. For the hardcore people, it will mean nothing. For potential gamers to the game, they will turn a blind eye on DayZ and miss out on a great game.
Are you STUPID?
Amra 2 is 3.5 years old but has recently been STeams top 3 games as far as sales ALL because of DayZ.
War Z is a JOKE, SCAM, Rip Off and everyone knows it.
DayZ Stand Alone is gonna sale very Good! I already have Arma 2 and I'm gonna shell out Cash for DayZ SA cause I know it's gonna be packed with extras not in the mod and for the sake of having a finished game even though the mod is very well made!
Screw War Z.
I feel it will be positive for Dayz sales. Given Warz was such a all around disappointment, gamers will want to jump into a game that is WELL MADE and properly maintained/managed throughout its life-cycle, and furthermore, to ENJOY a damn fine experience. patiently waiting for and very much looking forward to Dayz with bells on.
