How to refund DayZ?

[Φ]

I want my money back
This game is a big scam, and devs did nothing since 2013. How can I refund the game? I feel cheated. I bought the game in 2015. Please help.

You can't.

build a time machine, go back far enough that to arrive less then 2 weeks after purchase, and then you can refund it

or you can go back a little further and stop yourself from buying thus avoiding the delay in getting your money back.

without a time machine (or a starship that can reach warp 10) you are stuck with the game.

please dont lie "they did nothing"

their PR team did at least write enough to fill a novel.

and when you bought it, you bought the current state + all changes to the game, even when there are none.

you made a mistake. simple. be glad it was just a $30 game and not a million dollar shroom infested real estate.

I bought it in Dec. 2013 and still waiting on a good update

Patience is key!

I wish we could at least be able to tell people not to buy without messages being removed in dayz discussion.

in similar variants there since day 1, did it prevent anyone? nope because people like buying into hype and dreams.

btw ... my eye catched this piece of candy

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“After 5 years of development, our goal is for DayZ to depart from Early Access in 2018.”

i already see a storm of poop rising on every messageboard on the internet. sry if this was old, i don't pay too much attention for any entertain yourself sandbox games, because they are all garbage.

Yeah there are mods closing every "negative" post/discussion.

Well, that is the risk of buying Early Access titles. It clearly states " only buy this product if you are content with the game in its current state".
There are NO guarantees that the game will ever get additional features or even be finished.

[Ganger]

How can you even have the cheek to ask for your money back after nearly 3 years of owning the product.

Most early access tiltes are left in limbo and it looks like Dayz is one of them. Don't buy any early access title again OP, I learn that lesson many many moons ago.

Yeah, they sure are. Or, actually, they're not. You're just upset that they locked your dumb "this game is a scam" post.

And you clearly don't know what a scam is. They've been upfront about the the development of the game and the time before it comes out from Early Access. Face the facts: you're just upset and using the "it's a scam!" line to try and paint your disapointment as being due to something nefarious. Which is fine that you're upset with the status of the product, but making up misleading claims is not fine.

Just taking a cursory look at the threads, there are numerous ones that have constructive criticisms and reasonable debates. The ones that are locked are immature whinefests or threads that devolved into troll wars.

I'm sure you'll just think I'm a DayZ fanboy, but I honestly really dislike the DayZ-style games. Always have, always will. And DayZ is one of the examples I always point to whenever I see people complaining about Steam selling game genres they don't like, such as visual novels.

In short: You're not getting your money back. DayZ is not a scam. Your thread got locked because it's pointless whining and trolling.

Well , i did buy it back near its Alpha release on here .
All in all , the map is huge , fun as hell with friends to play it .

I got way more than my $19 out of the game . ( 500+ hours )

It was a very popular release a few years back . But it seems , i repeat , it seems BI have given up on the game .

If BI can make the ARMA series a big hit , why not DayZ ?

I know , a differant developement team for both , but still it seems to have been a cash grab for them and the money ran out .

I am rambling now .

Enjoy , HMZ
