Really really shit marketing and moderating.  I'm really not pissed about it, but people need to realize the importance of integrity, and a solid business model.


Global Agenda might've been a decent game if they didn't promise the same MMO bullshit, and expect people to pay a 1 time full cost for the game itself, and then 15 a month for the fucking AvA (clan vs clan seasonal territory thing).  Then a month later say oh wait shit, people aren't buying this, lets consider P2P for EVERYONE, lose their playerbase, get bombed to shit with terrible reviews, and then finally decide, well we fucked up, lets just sell booster packs as microtransactions.


When I saw the game on steam, it was seriously a shitstorm.  Kinda makes your blood boil, and what makes it seem like a scam, is they want to reward the original buyers of the game, and then they try to release it far discounted the very next day.  Sure, I get all the characters unlocked, but when did they ever outline that that's where my money was going?  The in-game price to unlock a character is set at a completely unreachable limit right now of like 150kxp on one character, when my characters have about 6k collectively.

Surely they have to talk about these things.  What feels like utter betrayal might honestly be that Titov is really just that god damn stupid. 

I feel like I got my money's worth already: had a couple honorable run-ins, got jumped by 3 bandits, and me and my surviving friend took em out with an AA12.  3 more guys came in to reclaim their shit, maybe it was the same 3 guys who logged in armed alts in the area, or they had clan members server hop the area - also got dropped by me being a camping bundle of sticks in the police station.  Beating M16 dudes with flashlights on a really lucky spawn.  Its a pile of nonsense, yeah, and they still have 2 pistols with no ammo spawns, and that absolutely outrageous falling damage bug on a slope.  Save your money, or join with a few solid friends and don't go in with high expectations.

Update: In response to Kotaku's request for comment, Valve issued the following statement:

    From time to time a mistake can be made and one was made by prematurely issuing a copy of War Z for sale via Steam. We apologize for this and have temporary removed the sale offering of the title until we have time to work with the developer and have confidence in a new build. Those who purchase the game and wish to continue playing it via Steam may do so. Those who purchased the title via Steam and are unhappy with what they received may seek a refund by creating a ticket at our support site here.

Update 2: In response to Kotaku's request for comment, War Z boss Sergey Titov also sent over a statement:

    We're making sure that our Store page is 100% correct this is why.

    Bottom line – our end goal is to have satisfied and not angry customers, so this is more important for us than everything else.

Power to the people!  :mrgreen:

Seems to be serious scam... with admins cheating while playing on a public server (last video)  :mrgreen:

Just take a look...

This brings back so many horrible memories of various badmins from fps games..... The horror

And to believe that those are the devs.
So many questions to ask myself before even looking at this game again.
Yes, been posted before. Rather than practicing swinging a weapon, it would be better to go 1 hander and learn a martial art that specializes in takedowns, because that's all that really matters in that sport.

Heh. The game can no longer be bought on Steam due to multiple complaints about a ton of shit.

Sergey Titov, the guy who's done all the interviews now has the dubious honor of having the worst critic reviewed game on metacritic(Big Rigs) AND lowest user scored game(WarZ). Poor guy.  :(

Poor guy.  :(

Hope you're not serious about this lol. He has to be the most ignorant, lying scum fool dev ever. I dare say he's worse than EA. Instead of just apologizing for the pile of shit they caused, he rather puts the blaim on players every single fucking time. Just like the part with people "not interpreting steam description correctly", all the way to banning innocent players:

“First of all - overall we’re 99.9% sure that we’re banning right people. Means - if you’re hacking and you’ve been promised “100% undetectable” hack by whoever sold it to you - if you get ban - please save yourself time and don’t send us support emails “I haven’t done anything, I didn’t used hack”.”

He's everything but a failure.

He made a shitload of money, sold his studio to some investment group - I'd call that profit.

If you haven't bought the game. It's still fun for 10-20 bucks, but know it is not a solid amazing product.

If you have already bought it, play it if you want. It can still be fun.

BUT!! I do agree that this guy screwed everyone over.

“First of all - overall we’re 99.9% sure that we’re banning right people."

Of course they are.

(...)They randomly ban accounts that have a certain amount of time spent playing in-game, knowing they are hooked on the game so they re-buy the game. source

I feel sorry for people that are such failures in life.

He must be feeling really depressed now.
