The War Z has risen again on Steam
2/27/13 9:53pm
Two months after being removed from Steam due to a massive customer outcry because of, well…less than stellar quality (and charges of false advertising), Hammerpoint’s zombie based survival horror game The War Z is being given a second chance.
According to a recent Steam news alert, Valve has worked together with the dev team at Hammerpoint to make sure the game is worthy of its spot on the marketplace. Those who purchased the game before it was removed from the service and still have it, will be sent a patch in order to update the game to its current state.
Considering all of the controversy surrounding the project and the fact that the release of the standalone version of Day Z is right around the corner, will Valve’s stamp of approval be enough to keep The War Z alive and thriving?
Let’s just say Hammerpoint certainly has a lot of work to do in order to win back customers.

Is there a way to burn all the digital copies of something?

Yes download it to a pen drive or hard drive and burn it.

I refuse to even acknowledge Hammerpoint as game developers. They are no better than con-artists.

Stop sprinkling sugar on shit and calling it candy!

I made a blog post a few days ago on the very same subject. Hammerpoint Interactive STILL doesn't follow the guidelines of Steam and yet Valve let them back in. Not only do they never adress the fact that the game is so broken that it should be called a pre-beta, but they still lie about events that take place in the gameplay vids and weapons you can never get a hold of. Add to that, the refunds they gave people were not because they were being nice. It was only because of the law suits of false advertising and marketing. Hammerpoint had the opportunity of a lifetime and they fucked it up by being arrogant assholes about their shitty game that they put out and lied about just because they were greedy. I want nothing to do with Hammerpoint ever again. DayZ is the way to go if you want a good zombie apocalypse MMO.

I wonder how many people will still fall for their shenanigans. Keeping this game online with little to no players can't be lucrative.

I want nothing to do with this game or the company that made it.

Seeing War Z reemerge from the dead makes me want Day Z even more...

Ummm, a zombie game doing what a zombie does isn't "poetic irony," it's remarkably fitting. Irony is the exact opposite of what the viewer/reader/player expects, so if it's a zombie game, staying dead would be actually ironic.
