Subject: Valve removed War Z

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Valve has got so many complaints they are now investigating WarZ.

Right now they are investigating hundreds of forum users who have been banned on Steam forums by a WarZ admin for saying negative things about their game, demanding a refund, or for signing a petition to remove the game.

Also, the WarZ map has been confirmed to only be 10 km in area.

Not the promised 100-400 km map.

Update:

Someone on the forums said:

"Yeah it's removed from Steam and they now advertise it as "played best on Origin" when loading the game after entering your password :\
I hate Origin.."

oh god

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

Wait so why is everyone upset with War Z?

Because they advertised the game would have elements that it doesn't.

This is worse, I feel bad Valve has been swindled by these con artist.

This guy named Kewk who is a WarZ admin was given mod powers by Valve and has banned/deleted many posts made by users who show dissaproval for the game.

Many of the people who are banned have shown that their threads in fact did not break any forum rules and the rules Kewk was enforcing were not Steam regulation.

It has been confirmed and hinted by insiders that WarZ is a scam made by conmen to cash in on DayZ. This company has made promises they can't keep and lied to thousands of buyers.

  • 12.19.2012 9:16 AM PDT

I actually can't wait for the guys behind WarZ to get what's coming to them.

They need to be made an example that this is 2012 and games must reach certain standards.

This was just posted to destructoid

Really shameful, Valve should suspend the purchase of the game and remove all mod rights to the WarZ admins.

Well, DayZ is not a "game" but a mod. Until the standalone game comes out then maybe. But I see what you're saying. At the Least Arma 2 should pop up. Since it has DayZ in the Arma 2 page. But idk how the Steam does its searches. Since DayZ has a Z in it. Maybe thats why WarZ pops up.

They are marketing it as the perfect DayZ

It was number one in sales and continues to receive hate.

Clearly that's the case. "DayZ" pulls up Arma II. Which is fine. But there is no reason "dayz" should pull up The War z.

No, waypoint mods follow there rules to the character, which I can applaud. However there is such a thing as being to strict.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

The guy who made this game was also the creator of the mega hit

Valve has a rule against censorship so this is a very serious allegation.

This is important because by making an example of Hammerpoint we are telling game devs that it is not ethical to do these things to people.
