(CriticalIndieGamer) Stop right there. Hands up and don’t move – or your dead.” Our first human contact you could say was not the most humanitarian of first encounters. We were headed to meet up with a friend of ours in another small town when we heard those words.

DayZ's latest console update seems tiny, but datamined files reveal what Bohemia is really preparing for 2026. Here's what players missed.

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.
