It is NOT DayZ. It's a pathetic ripoff that is trying to cash in on DayZ's popularity.

Even if its a currently a ripoff and its current state is bad, I like the idea of War Z much more than Day Z. I like progression. War Z offers that or should once its done. Day Z is still a slow addon and nothing more. It's built on a flawed engine, at least flawed in the sense that it's not well suited for what Day Z tries to accomplish. If the features that War Z claims to have ever make it to Day Z, I will start playing Day Z again. Until then, will hold off buying this game until the forums for it turn around.

If you want to see an overview of the game, and its numerous flaws, TotalBiscuit did a video of it which I found to be quite hilarious.

Wow, thank you for that. This game looks horrible. Feel sorry for anyone who bought into it.

Fixed it for you, I think you got your games confused :D

tbh I'm glad its gone from Steam, I have been pondering buying the game so long but seen nothing but bad coverage. The biggest travesty is the shady way in which the developers dealt with people complaining about the game, banning people from ever owning their games, not refunding money, deleting posts

Too bad they only offer refunds for this one. There's quite a bit of games in my inventory that I would like to receive a refund, after playing them for more than ten minutes.

You can send a request to steam about any game you only played for that long, But you'll need a valid reason, like false advertisement or such

Agreed, I regrettably purchased Flatout 3 before realising that it wasn't made by Bugbear and is in a similar state to this War Z

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      A lot of uncertainty in this story. Might. Could. Maybe. The truth is we don't know what will happen to the universe in the end, or if it will end. Our own Milky Way galaxy will merge with the Andromeda galaxy in about 2.5 billion years, with our solar system as part of a new, larger cluster. I guess we'll have to and see how it goes down.
