[QUOTE="guynamedbilly"] Most of that is bandwagon hating of people who would otherwise have no connection at all to the game, partly because Day Z has so much community support and WarZ is obviously trying to capitalize on that. Steam does allow junk to get released occasionally though, and they always have. Heck, I remember Empire Total War barely worked until a year after release.guynamedbilly
The devs of Empire Total War did not lie on the games store page to get people to buy it.
Features they listed on the stoers page where in the game, cant say the same for The WarZ.
Yes they did. The game didn't function. They didn't advertise that. Many games launch broken or certain features are broken. This isn't much difference. The difference is this one has gotten a lot of attention. Yep you said it well, the features were broken but at the very least they were there. The War Z don't have the key features they listed on the store page implemented broken or not, it's a flat out lie! Just take a look at the menus, there ara a lot of things greyed out so you can't accesse the most basic "features" such as skill trees, private servers, friends interface, etc.
You would think Valve cares about the quality of games it passes.ampiva
Yep, and the sad thing is it's not the first time it happens nor will it be the last. Just to list a few cases of troubled releases on steam: *Breach http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2036764 *Orion: Dino Beatdown http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2920533 *Towns http://steamcommunity.com/app/221020/discussions/0/846939071331801095/ *Raven Squad http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1900937 *Legend of Pegasus http://steamcommunity.com/app/205590/discussions/0/864943478397022831/ The list goes on and on... Valve should really step up their selection process and choose more carefully what they put into their store, they are the one to blame for these debacles.
[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="darksusperia"][QUOTE="ESB"] Yep, just like they've done about TOWNS... I got caught out on that one... oh well. What happened with TOWNS ??? They jumped out from alpha to "release" build (just like WarZ) and it was advertised like a full released game on the steam store page. People bought it and realised it was still in beta, mass refunding ensued and a lot of people asked the devs to update the info on the store page but nothing was done about it. Well, they added an useless remark (Towns is continually being developed and updated to bring you the best experience possible!) that in no shape or form states the the game is still in beta. Moral of the story: the game is still being advertised as a full release on the store page even though there are a lot of issues (missing/broken features) even after a couple of updates.
