Reposting the article from a reddit comment, because the Ex-Developer's thread was deleted by the company:
I knew something was really fishy about this game from the moment it was announced. Do not buy this game at all.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Told some friends not to buy it (yet they did), since everything about it screams cash grab, the game is absolutely terrible, shouldn't even be called an alpha and they plan to release it in Jan or Feb...they wanted to make some profits off the popularity of Walking Dead and DayZ, made some random stuff that barely works, made lots of promises and now they can't push it faster for release, nobody that wants to make a lasting game does that.
I was thinking about buying this game, but after reading your post I won't. SimplyFatalI'll also inform my friends.
Yea I felt something was off about the game, I'm happy their BS has been exposed. Funny thing is the game isn't even worth playing. Its a terrible substitute for Dayz.
No shlt they will abandon the game if the earnings only cover the running costs. What is this, charity?
Also what dev doesn't recycle previous work?
And you actually believe the rest of the post? All that conspiracy bs?
As for his ban, based on the rest, I'm inclined to think he was banned for being a disruptive douche and they don't have that reason in pop-ins.
If you pay attention to this rant, I'd say it's confirmation bias at work.
Looks like a rage rant, a pretty ***** one at that. You know how many I've seen these over at the DayZ forums?. The guy just reminds of a douche rage ranter, was he seriously complaining about getting no payment as a forum moderator?, ok....pretty sure 99.9% of forum moderators don't get paid, it's a volunteer job.
As for the whole entire PTW thing, Planetside 2 has a similar scheme, LoL has a similar scheme as well although it's not a PTW but if you ever want a champion most likely you're gonna be spending real $$. I'm in full support of DayZ and WarZ since I'm liking this new survival horror aspect they bring, hell if they ever make a Walking Dead game like DayZ/WarZ I would be in full nirvana.
Not saying the guy didn't get screwed, but he doesn't really have any proof outside of being banned for a weird reason (which happens often). I was originally excited about WarZ as I have played DayZ, but its too rough around the edges for me to enjoy, but looking at gameplay videos of WarZ, it just seemed like a cheap rip-off. So I didn't want to support a bad game, not necessarily because they're bad people (waiting for proof).

Uhh..do you have reading comprehension problems by chance? He wasn't complaining about getting no payment as a forum moderator. He was complaining because they deactivated his game account (that he paid for) because of a dispute on the forums after his moderator account got hacked.
People on this forums are really something else...always awfully eager to defend poor business practice for no apparent reason.

"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." :lol:I heard from my friends this game was horrible so I never bothered. My first impression was that the game lacked a lot polish and looked a a mess basically. Even in pre-alpha, alpha stage or whatever.. and they were already advertising the game for players to pay for their unfinished game. That to me, just sounded really wrong so I couldn't put up money for it. Being a huge zombie fan of games and movies, I still didn't take the plunge and I'm glad I didn't.
No matter how credible this source is or not, I don't think he has a reason to make up a story like this. And even though the message came across strong with f-bombs, I'm sure he was pissed when he typed it up. Most importantly, the game was never good. All the hackers was the deal-breaker. That's unacceptable.

"I then made a post on the forums about how I knew this was coming; and I was sorry and would not long be supporting a company that did not support their unpaid volunteer Moderators that spent over 100+ hours answeringTHEIR CUSTOMERSquestions and concerns as well as relaying them the ideas the community had for their **** game."
It may not been his sole purpose on ranting, which was about his ban mostly, and to be honest you are an idiot if you think no employer would take disciplinary action on their paid or volunteer employees for acting in a rude matter the way he did (seriously talk back to your boss see how that goes), cause honestly I would love to see the forum topic he made cause I bet it was full of rage and curse words which would get you banned on ANY forum/game.

The part where he said he wouldn't support a company thay doesn't support their unpaid Mods (holy **** I even underlined it). I really doubt he's speaking for their whole Moderators, unless there's a few other Moderators that have spoken the same as he has that I'm unaware of.
Holy crap I thought people couldn't more dense than that jake troll.
Soo... Where was he complaining about not being paid for his work?[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="Ballroompirate"]

You do not seem to fully understand what it is he's saying. He's pissed cause because after volunteering his time, he was just tossed out after this incident, he's not pissed because he was not paid for his work. It would be pretty silly for him to be upset about not being paid, when he would have known this all along.Soo...

Well im glad i did not buy it :PSounds like bs to be honest. The guy broke some rules and showed how immature he was. The game is fun, it isn't as bad as people say it is.Deadpool-nIf that was true, this thread wouldn't be comprised of more people saying it is bad. How many threads on other games actually even discuss people getting refunds? This is the only game I've ever seen so many people asking for refunds daily. Me included because the game is nothing like they said it would be before they released it. You remember those awesome in game screen shots of survivors standing on cars with zombies attacking them?
