"Put simply, DayZ Standalone isn’t here because we had the chance to go from making a game that was just the mod improved slightly, packaged simply, and sold - to actually redeveloping the engine and making the game the way we all dreamed it could be." Wait a second... I thought this IS what you where working towards. If you weren't shooting for that back when you said a end of a year release, I DON"T BELIEVE YOU. You've spoken about a standalone being a massive improvement hence all the hype hence all the news articles, hence the wait. You've been yanking us along. Believe me I'm more than willing to wait, but don't talk bullshit promises next time that you never intended to keep.
