Subject: warZ forced to change it's name...

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

Yet another entry in the continuing saga of fail

The fail train is chugging in full steam, how long do you think till they get sued into Oblivion.

(I have never bought the game, I don't have a vendetta against it, it is just this is becoming the biggest scandal in video game history).

The kicker here, they have been warned since July to change their name but have refused to make any changes up to this point.

No one knows, they have to change their name or face a large lawsuit.

They have known for about 6 months they needed to change their name.

According to the source, they were informed since July to change their name.

I think this proves it is a scam, they probably wanted to sell as much as they can and cut their losses.

Sounds like it...so glad I never bought it.

I am worried though they are going to change their name and no one will know it is the same game.

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.
Brain says 'No, that's ugly', body says 'ugly is fine with me'.

*Reads legal jargon*

*op says they need to change name*

Okay! WarZ is lagging on it those twats!

I've been waiting for this to crop up for ages, the War Z has been heavily promoted in books and the upcoming movie so it's no surprise that a random indie developed game that just takes the name would get sued.

You haven't been alive very long have you. Back in the 80s, the gaming market was flooded with pretty much the same esque thing going on here.

Console games allowed 3rd party companies to make titles for their systems without licenses, with an indie market like this the same thing happened.

Lies and slander! This is like the definition of a vendetta, sken.

I think it is the biggest video game scam we have seen for a long time that directly scams the consumer in such a visible way and with so much evidence.

You're an idiot if you don't think the Patent Office has valid grounds for this. Also you're pretty pathetic if something this trivial angers you. Grow up.


I totally think the Patent office is right and this does not anger me, I think it is hilarious.

They made WarZ to follow the success of DayZ. They also were warned since July of this year to change their name and a month ago again but have not complied.

There will always be that one guy who has to ruin it for everybody else. But it happens and it's not the worst scam in the world.

Kind of reminds me of that villain from Kim Possible who demanded one dollar from everybody in the world. For $15 I was able to buy a crappy game that I thought was in beta and had some amusement out of it. Despite noticing how it actually is completely broken and fails to improve any of the actual qualities that matter. I just bought it a long while ago, back when you could still buy "Alpha."

Well, that's good to here. I can't stand a Dayz ripoff.

Looks like he's not the only one who needs to grow up.

Everything I have posted has been 100% authentic, I have not said anything Hammerpoint has not done themselves. I am just a reporter.

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

Hopefully this crashes and burns soon entirely.

These guys don't deserve any success at this point.

I am surprised they aren't sued yet.

They got this notice in November and have tried to sell the game in Steam and at Gamestop under the name WarZ.
