20 Plus Million Dollars Later...

Recommended Posts

Does OP for realzies think that Hall has 20mill+ sitting in his account?

I'm no Wizard, but one would assume that the purchasing of DayZ would have a few certain parties for the wealth to spread between, I would highly highly doubt that anyone has made a solid 20 Million + off of this Sweet-Alpha..... Yet

Completely agree with this but when they start developing again i wouldn't mind some updates on what they are doing! 

 

How about all of you that are complaining the Devs are doing nothing on holiday, shut the **** up and go read.

they were strategic at releasing alpha when they did, they knew what they were doing.. Now releasing an unfinished product during the Holidays to maximize the money they get in (20 million+) you would think the Devs have a responsibility to their customers to work as hard and fast as they can during the Holidays to tighten things up with the game..

 

Now I understand the minor victory is good for the Devs but some here are saying they should be on the beach sipping fine wine and cheese because they have 20 million in their accounts is sad to say the least..

They don't have to say anything at all, they can keep quiet and not say anything about updates or future updates and just roll them out when needed. You don't see Infinity Ward or DICE telling you the update logs before they come out, you just get them when you get them. I'm beginning to think they should of just kept quiet about the updates and just told you again, "They come when they come"

I want As50 - everybody tells me go play cod, now you are using it for the next excuse, leave god damn infinity ward alone, wow.

Even if its 10m, even if its just 5 (what i highly doubt), thats a shitload of money.

Can't the devs enjoy a little holiday time? They've been working on the game for over a year now.

 

I'm sure we'll get some news in the next week or so.

Wow, get off their d*cks. Holiday? They were out for 2+ weeks and its not like they were working 7 days a week for a year. During that year all that changed from the original mod was the graphics, exact same bugs, exact same people and zombies running through walls clipping through everything. After 730,000+ sales of this game they literary have no reason to take "holidays"

I see maths may not be your strong point but it hasn't been quite 2 weeks as of yet. Regardless of how much money they have taken in a Holiday is a Holiday and time spent with family is bit more important(to some) than that.

If this was 1 or 2 months in and there was no sign of any updates, patches or the like, then it would give some reason to bitch but seriously... Less than 2 weeks and to rage is just showing how completely immature people are or can be. Go outside, have a wank or something. People are uptight for absolutely no real reason at the moment except selfishness and wanting.

They don't HAVE TO, but it would be nice of them to let us know what's going on. I think rocket was the primary reason we got so much inside information and he's back soon™.

Everyone relax. This post nailed it. It is not a requirement. They don't even have to develop this any further. But it sure would be nice to hear from them once in a while. I would like a weekly post/update thing just saying what is going on, but once a month or just once would be ok at this point lol.

I realize that this is in the alpha stage, but with such rapid sales and inflow of cash I think we as gamers deserve to know what's going on behind the scenes. I.e. more information on updates and ongoing projects that a more specific than; zombies: an ongoing project. Does anyone else agree?

 

Rocket said the game development is going to be for a little over a year until the official release is ready.  I don't expect that timetable to change much regardless of how many million gajillion bejillion dollars they make.

It's Bohemia, no amount of money they make will turn DayZ into a triple AAA quality game. The sound will probably suck if they dont take some suggestions from us. The animations will suck if they don't take suggestions from us and take time to redo animations. The non existent physics, will remain nonexistent, the list goes on and on. 

 

I have been disappointed by BI time and time again. The only hope for this project is Rocket, and the thing holding him back, is this engine that Bohemia refuses to do a MAJOR Overhaul on. 

 

In the end though, if they dont come out with a quality game the only ones we can blame is ourselves. We gave them our money. We chose to buy into this very very big long shot.

You butthurt scrubs fail to realise that this is more than a simple fucking add-on to a game.

Should have been closed testing to save all this grief.

I wonder it you think buying a movie ticket, means you can dictate Tom Cruise's work hours too?

 

This guy lives in NZ and can't be allowed to go home for Christmas and if you allow him that, because you're larger than life, you allow him only an extended weekend, but then he has to get his ass back on a plane, because for $30 you own him. I'm not sure early access actually entitles you to wield the same powers as BI's CEO, no matter how much you wind yourself up.

 

Nothing has changed from the mod, same type of development, same type of Rocket, maybe a little less chatty, but that also used to get you guys all outraged, when he said too much, same engine, same company. I have no idea, why you think everything was going to be 100% wonderful with dinosaurs and humans cohabitating Earth peacefully together, when all the elements, you apparently hated in the mod are similar in the Standalone.

 

Stop being so goddamn entitled, you bought into the early access knowing it required a lot of work and alot patience or you clicked that lime-green Steam purchase button randomly, like a monkey with a brain tumor bashing a keyboard against the wall.

I think they know what they're doing. Be patient. I for one think the amount of updates during the Christmas/ New Years have been pleasant surprises. Thanks DayZ development team

It's always these new guys with less than a month on this forum that act like the lack of progress updates in the last couple weeks is some kind of crime.

 

You want to know more about the future of dayz? Go check out the streams on rockets twitch account. Over 6 hours of him talking about dayz and answering player questions. http://www.twitch.tv/rocket2guns/profile/pastBroadcasts

People don't have time to actually watch Rocket's 6 hour twitch stream.

 

It's easier to come to the forums, complain about a game that's still in Alpha that came with a disclaimer and claim that Rocket has abandoned DayZ to swim through piles of your money like Scrooge McDuck instead of actually bothering to read the massive amount of information that has been released by the dev team and Rocket himself.

Well if they they say much more than: "Yes we're still working on it" a guy like you will get really upset, when what you wrongly assumed were promises set in stone, doesn't get delivered on your wrongly assumed timetable and then you call a fatwa down on Rocket, Bohemia Interactive, Steam, the freemarket, capitalism and climate change.

They've been pretty clear about what you should expect, when buying a product in early development and just because you're unable to control your own deranged expectations, doesn't mean there's some giant pyramid scheme going on.

now control yourself, you're scaring the women and children.

I didn't buy DayZ to play the most detailed and glitch-less game ever, I bought it to help Rocket creating one
