DayZ creator pissed about The War Z
Opprinnelig skrevet av Kotaku:
DayZ creator Dean Hall says he's pissed about The War Z, the controversial zombie game that seems have cloned a ton of DayZ's elements, including theme, genre, and title.

Writing on Reddit yesterday, Hall said the accused clone "hasn't made [his] life very pleasant":

Opprinnelig skrevet av Dean Hall:
I am angry about the WarZ. I'm very angry. I'm quite hurt personally because anyone can see how similar the words are, and while the average gamer knows the difference individual people don't. I've had family members/close friends mistake the difference and confront me about what they believed was unethical behavior they thought I was making. I really don't think anyone can understand just quite how exasperated that can make you feel when you've gambled everything on something, put your whole self and reputation on the line. So it hasn't made my life very pleasant and I disagree entirely with the conduct and how consumers have been treated.

Hall recently announced that the standalone version of DayZ would go into closed testing soon.

I see his point. It's been proven by the media that Sergey Titov is full of beans and can't provide a schred of evidence to back up his claim that his game has been in production for "years". The best anyone can do is prove that it's been in development since May 2012. A full 2 months after DayZ and a month after the hype explosion and DayZ's success.

Not surprised he is angry, using such a similar name was just naughty, luv the game though.

I know they probably did it to sound similar... but they ALMOST have an excuse since this is War Inc with zombies.... so... War Z.

Did you know the original .exe for Big Rigs OTR was CarZ.exe? True story.

I think the WarZ devs deserve all the troubles they get, after ripping off DayZ so hard, but the CarZ.exe makes the entire thing just that much more bizarre.

I'm not really sure they getting what they "deserve" unless you are saying you like them and are happy for their success...

Hmm well then if this is wrong then COD should be taken down for cloning MOH. MOH 1999, COD 2001. Both war fps wwii games. Who cares if you got competition. That's a good thing! Besides there's many Slender rip offs out there, and there are more DayZ clone games attempting the success as well. So why just focus on The War Z? Because they lie? So what, we already know that.

We will see with their infringement of the World War Z, and I bet if that goes through that will be the final killing blow.

I don't think you understand the difference between plagiarism and genre. The War Z got busted for ripping artwork directly from The Walking Dead, and music from American Horror story. Ray Parker Jr got busted for ripping the Ghost Busters theme music off of Huey Lewis which sounded less obvious than this menu music from The War Z.

Also you couldn't have read the article, or you'd know that he's pissed because people keep confusing his game with the War Z and it's many scandals and are wrongfully directing their anger and hate for the War Z at him.

God...READ the article. He doesn't care about competition, and it's not about them ripping him off. He's pissed because stupid people who don't READ are accusing him of all of the scams, and lies Sergey/Hammerpoint/Arktos are responsible for. They think DayZ is the War Z and are directing their anger at DayZ, because they're stupid and don't READ.

READ...

They all eventually copied the idea from Carribean beliefs. I know quite a few hatians and jamaicans tgat really believe this stuff. and the stories i hear about voodoo scare the bajeezus outta me.

too bad all those islanders are poor. Great idea they jad with their religions.
but the only thing that bothered me that i felt WarZ took- was the name. it was 100% intentional im sure; they meant to get warZ released before dayz to intentionally trick people. no doubt in my mind. screw the warinc-warz name similarities. they probably planned on naming it ZombiesInc or Hackers Paradise.

Do you think they called it War Inc on purpose so they could trick people into thinking it was that John Cusack movie?

I think Day Z just copied the War Inc name anyway

You think DayZ copied the War Inc name? Now I know you're just trolling.

I think if I were in his shoes, in which I completely sympathise with the man, I would be consulting with a legal team of my own right about now.
