In my opinion, the timer should be removed until they fix certain elements of the game that cause you to have to leave a server. e.g. not being able to punch, amongst other things... As people have said, this is Alpha, balance issues aren't really what should be getting fixed, especially when they penalise you for experiencing other bugs, through no fault of your own.

Regardless of whether on not he is a "perfectionist", I find this somewhat unprofessional and worrying. Decisions like this will, and should, invite some flak. Edit - I don't personally believe the "take the money and run angle" and find that opinion to be somewhat disrespectful. This perfectionist stuff is nonsense, I wouldn't start something in my job, but leave it because "I'm a perfectionist"... Please, and it's about professionalism.

For me, the bigger issue isn't that he is going, it's this quote... "I feel like DayZ is a fundamentally flawed concept, and I've always recognised that. It's not the perfect game; it's not the multiplayer experience, and it never can be, [with] the absolute spark that I want in it." Yeah, definitely not if you just leave the project... Meh, who knows... I've spent £20 on games I've played less.
