No Pepsi, Coca-Cola or Heinz in standalone

[xx_fr0st-w0lf_xx 53]

No reason why any of these companies would want to be a part of dayz for any reason. The only justifiable reason is advertising and even at that it is not enough. Developers would have to pay these companies because they technically own those names and logos. In my honest opinion I dont care if my beans have heinz fienz or diemz printed in front.

[kovacs 2]

I have emailed Hienz regarding the matter. Cant hurt!

[Maxgor 2314]

Not too big of a deal really lol Though I think it does allow for some silly knockoff brand names for replacements lol

[Buttery Toast 0]

NOOOOOOOO!!! NOT THE WALMART BRAND! ANYTHING BUT THAT!

[PracticalTactical 164]

Who needs beans when you have human flesh?

[the horror 262]

To be honest, this gives the Dev Team to recognise some outstanding members of the DayZ community.

Rebrand!

Turn Pespi into Dr. Wasteland's Power Quench.

Turn Heinz Baked Beans into Derpy Baked Beans.

Turn the rare Mountain Dew into a can of Rocket's Thrust Juice.

and yes, that is a euphemism.

That's a great idea! :thumbsup:

Should give +10 stamina boost!

Via twitter:

@figgehn: @rocket2guns suggestions for new drinks in SA: Mountain Dean, Pezlar, Španěl Light and Cherry Buchta

‏@rocket2guns: @figgehn Absolutely must have Spanel Light and Cherry Buchta Great job!

@rocket2guns When i think of it Španěl Light sounds like a beer brand. So maybe Španěl Lemon/Lime and/or Orange?

[DazTroyer 227]

Branston do great beans :)

[smallhil 26]

McDonalds will support DayZ but under certain conditions.

decisions need to be made quickly.

new bandit skin :D ?

This is blasphemy! I demand beans! We must start a revolution!

[klesh 2423]

Funny, Pepsi wrote back to me presuming my suggesting they work with the developers of DayZ, was a business proposal being submitted to them. Their response:

Dear Robert,

I'll pass this on to Matt, but presumably he's already contacted this person.

Hello there

Make it into a news story. Get the main internet sites on the case and once the national press get a sniff, if they run with it, then job done.

Heinz beans are good for the game, the more you eat the more you gain......health.

[St. Jimmy 1631]

So we still got chances to have some beanz? Yay!

[Bobby Darin 4]

Someone needs to start a campaign to get these companies to allow it. Show me a petition to sign, give me addresses to email, where's the banner for my sig? I think with enough support via social media they would reconsider.

This ! im willing to fire off some emails and stuff :)

[philbottle 430]

We will grow our own beans brothers and sisters. Self sufficiency is the only way to go (with a good dose of mutual aid of course). :D

[kingfury4 65]

What if, we create our own in-game beans name, then we bring them to real life and storm the market?

[Auslovich 48]

Rocket, contact the makers of L &P!

[phleep99 13]

L&P would be a good start. there must be a way to have regional settings for the different products though. I had posted a suggestion in the Suggestion forum relating to product placement where the products are actually displayed differently according to your location. That would mean us NZ'ers would have L&P and Illicit Cola (for example) and others would have more regionally relevant products - pending approval from the company that produces it.

The actual product placement doesn't have to be developed straight away but making the product labels vary according to player location would mean the trademarked skins could be added later in patches.
