Me too, but answering guys who call you a troll because of having different opinion is even better.
Well, possibly I've been avoiding huge studios that care only about money. Speaking of which...
I played Arma 2 and Arma 3, I love these games, though... Dedicated to their game... Remind me how the rifles that you didn't buy work in arma multiplayer! ;) It's not like they're working on improving Arma 2 now, do they? IF they can do some easy fixes to improve selling, sure, they wil ldo that, but what else? Arma 3 is all about DLCs now. I stopped playing it, I would probably still play if they weren't so many paid dlcs. I don't really get why would you say that BI is special in some way. It's not like I don't trust that they will finish the game someday. :) But they already gave up on most interesting stuff, like animal companions. Statisticly speaking, some people who bought DayZ reading that it will be released in something like 2015 (or earlier, can't remember) are already dead. :D So yeah. They will release it... When I paid for DayZ I was a student. Now I'm running my small business and have a kid on the way. Good luck to me with spending evenings in Chernarus now. ;) You can't just ignore the release date like it was not important at all. I'm pretty sure some people, me included, would be happy with a game that has not perfect engine, but some more CONTENT instead . And next version will be what? Oh, right, engine improvements, but even less content.
As for their communication with us - pretty much 90% of dayzdev twitter posts nowadays are retweets, mainly boring screenshots with sunsets and firepits. Is there at least the Q&A Gadget_97 was talking about available somewhere?
