This just keeps on getting better and better. The WarZ devs are literally digging their own grave.

What's your opinion on The WarZ?

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I love it, people just need to adapt.

Oh and before someone gets mad at me, it was sarcasm.

OMGZZ!!!!!!

Well, this one is not really a big deal to me. The other stuff where it rips directly from War Inc. is a big deal to me.

The War Z is fantastic. People misread the features listed, and now they're mad for no reason. It's your own damn fault that you're illiterate. Stop complaining so the devs can focus on their game. They're winner.

I dislike the WarZ devs but I don't really see a problem here.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

Not sure if serious...

This game is an atrocity. People are asking for refunds and getting blacklisted from a payment system, there is blatant false-advertising on the Steam page (which is now taken down), and the game is boring as hell with its buggy nature and crappy gameplay.

I'm dead serious. You're not entitled to a refund, and there was no false advertising; as I've said, people are illiterate.

The devs are doing all they can to please you; show some respect. They're winner.

So, when the maps aren't as big as advertised, the game doesn't support as many players as advertised, and there aren't the guns as advertised, it's not false advertisement?

Got it.

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

I have a feeling that soon Hammerpoint Interactive will face a lot of legal trouble from all of their shady and illegal business practices.

Also AMC owns all that Walking Dead stuff so I could see them suing WarZ for using their intellectual property without consent.

I refuse to believe you're that stupid. I never bought the game, and just from reading the story in articles, it's obvious the devs are in the wrong. Big time.

I hate MLP. It is cancerous and pretty stupid to see men watching a show for girls. They can deny the truth but the truth shall prevail!

1. Random and unannounced bannings with no reasons given.
2. Claimed there were private servers people could make (didn't say it would be an update)
3. Said they were making WarZ prior to DayZ.

There's more I could list, but I'm lazy.

It's a scam.

No, don't be ridiculous. Just because someone on the Internet discovered that their poses are familiar, doesn't mean they can sue the artists. There is really not enough that identifies them as a private person.

The artist just took these pictures as inspiration/pattern and redrew it. A lot of artists do so. People are just overreacting on this... again.

It is mostly because Hammerpoint yet again cuts corners, sloppy, lazy, arrogant.

No... it's just the artist doing his work. This has nothing to do with the developer itself.

See, when you are doing this digital art, it could happen that you draw something entirely new. You need a reference. And when you are not such an experienced artist or there is no time, you simply redraw something. Unprofessional, but not illegal or worth raging about. It's not like these examples are some official, licensed posters from the Walking Dead either. Just pictures from the set or cosplayers.

There is a line between reference and plagiarism. No one expected them to make a completely novel concept of a zombie, but then again no one expected them to take pre-existing media and mirror it or make only the most superficial alterations.
