is this the most successful video game scam in history? this game has a loyal die hard community despite the developers being the laziest people on earth
The game is like $14 how much of a scam can it really be?
all early access games are scams
That isn't Star Citizen, which still regularly has T-posed corpses stuck in random stations to this fucking day.
It's a scam in the sense that they pretend the game is still in development while they're not doing diddly squat. But at least it's stable, playable and mostly bug free.
>>729393308yeah but it sold 10m copies though, and they only have like two dozen people on it
>>729395345Stardew Valley only has one what's your point?
>>729395794sv never even was in early access
Mojang has em beat
>>729392596People are starting to push back against Indie Stone finally, people are realizing the game is plagued by scope creep and the developers continue to add features no one asked for.
After 3 years, your game should be fully released or you have to call it a live service game instead of early access. The scam is that they know what people expect or think when something is live service so they refuse to do it
>Remove multi>Add a feature that makes it so you get muscle fatigue if you swing a weapon around more than 2 times or something>Horrifically overcomplicate crafting>Fuck off again till god knows when
>>729397732>Remove multiDid I miss something? It still has it on the version Steam put me at. Or was this something done earlier before undoing it?
mic test
>>729395035its worse than star citizen and in development longer too
>>729398197Build 42 temporarily removed multiplayer
>>729398197MP was gone for like, I don't know, two yearsSomehow it's even buggier now, too
>>729397707Why do you want to pay a subscription for Zombiid
>>729392596Tempted to buy this on steam sale but I feel like it's systems are going to be too autistic and fiddly to be fun based on the limited gameplay I've seen of it.
>>729398896Basically the whole game feels like the dev has a vision and that vision is that you aren't supposed to have fun, so everything feels extra tedious.It's slightly less bad if you play it with friends and now the carry limits aren't that important anymore, plus people can specialise in different things instead of having to grins the shit out of every skill
>>729398365And with 1/20th of the fundingSo Star Citizen is still the BIGGER scam
>>729398365The difference is that nobody paid thousands of dollars for zomboid It's 12$
>>729399094>>729399009star citizen has the excuse of being a mmo life gamea game set in kentucky about zombies on a 2d plane cant even get NPCs working for over 13 years
>>729399203And Star Citizen can't get anything to work whatsoever in 14 yearsIf someone got scammed it's definitely the retard who paid $5000 for a ship in a single game where there's no actual game to play, not some dude who bought a $20 zombie survival game and gotten hundreds of hours of playtime out of it
It already has more than enough content to justify the price tag. Whether it's early access or arbitrary released as is changes nothing.
>>729392596Is it really a scam if I get 800 hours out of it?
>>729399338>If someone got scammed it's definitely the retard who paid $5000 for a ship in a single game where there's no actual game to play, not some dude who bought a $20 zombie survival game and gotten hundreds of hours of playtime out of itkek, indiestone cant even get MP to work with the new build, 15 years in the making btwcombat sneaking medical all dogshitno human NPCsno endgamezombies still have horrible and simplistic AI, cant even form proper roaming hordesall they managed to do in 15 years was add hydrocraft to the base game, oh wait they cant even do that right, over half the meme crafting shit they promised is still not in the gamezomboid is just as much as a scam as star citizen
You can call the developers lazy or incompetent but you must be heavily autistic and retarded to call the game a scam. I got bored after 40 hours but till then I had decent fun and it's really one of a kind of game. The price it costs would justify an ok indie game already.

>>729399858To be honest, both are not scams. They can be played and are in active development. Feels pointless to focus on these two games when countless of actual scams exists, thousands of crowdfunded games that yet to have release anything. Millions of games with predatory monetization, gachas. It's like crying over the loud cat of your neighbor while a war is rampaging on next to your house.
