Did anyone say that? Calm down, sweetheart.

Most people probably use Teamspeak or similar and would negate any sound effect imposed.

Hardcore. He has a zip on his undies.

Err...Zombies?

Can we have a reasoned discussion without your personal insults towards people? Surely we can manage that?

Looks like you missed that all important word I used...WHETHER. Changes the context from the 'certainty that you are suggesting, to a possibility...a questioning. I never accused them of any such thing. You''re the one making half-cocked assumptions and unfounded accusations. Kettle. Pot. Black.

So anyone who has doubts or concerns should just ignore them because you don't consider their opinions valid? I hope you never end up on jury service.

Imagine you paid £20 to a kickstart campaign to develop a new game. Then imagine that the development was much slower than expected. Then imagine that if every time someone questioned the rate of development or voiced concern they were shot down for even asking..It's not unreasonable to expect a decent return for your investment. Just because you are comfortable throwing your money at something and you don't care about the quality of service you are getting, doesn't mean everyone is the same.

Ah, good point. Sorry about that.

couldn't agree more. It's no use having a board-room full of yes-men and people unwilling to look at facts. Blind endorsement is no use to anyone,

Factual data, not just a sweary rant like yours.

We're discussing the units-sold situation. It is on-topic. If someone started a thread to discuss this it'd probably be locked and yarded, so people discuss where they can. How dare we take an interest in whether we re actually being conned or not,

Didn't consider the bit about marketing, publishing costs and pre-made assets? Irrelevant? Biased, much? Maybe a vested interest??

2,000,000 x £19.99 £39,800,000 Invest in more or better devs? AAA game costs between £10,059,172 and £11,834,320. considering the DayZ marketing and publishing spend is £0... http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/04/28/dayzs-dean-hall-says-steam-removes-the-need-for-publishers/ ...and lots off assets were already done...not like they had to design that map from scratch

Like road signs in Wales

If it's anything like ARMA I think it will create a client-side account file (ARMA ones are in your documents folder). You know when you join a server and it shows a client ID? That's the bit from your computer that tells the hive who you are. It doesn't go off your Steam account. Disclaimer: All of this could be bollocks in reference to DayZ SA....but just a thought.

Laughed so hard. Great stuff.

Maybe goosebumps because you are cold :D

I was agreeing with you. It's crap...but due to it being in the Alpha stage stuff like this will happen. If you are only banned some of the time, then that points to some sort of crap code as opposed to you caught cheating. All I was saying is, if you have paid for a service, and you aren't getting that service, you could ask for your money back. You paid to test the Alpha, which means playing to test the code. You didn't pay to have a game you can't use. Why not write down your grievances, attach the rubbish BE response and complain to Steam. It's not acceptable to take someone's money and run, either figuratively or in the case of Hall, literally.

An Alpha you paid to take part in. If you can't take part, get a refund (good luck with that though). In the mean-time, you could play the mod. It's 'free' and is far more playable, has less bugs, and lots of cool mods.

You did. Too much realism and a desire for too much detail kills fun. That's pretty clear criticism of your idea.

Aye. Devs should be working on critical stuff like making button-holes in collars so we can wear a flower like a proper sir.
