Steam userbase, I am disappointed in you.
Some time ago, The War Z was released. Many people preordered this game solely on hype, and were burned when it turned out the developers were a bunch of scumbag scam artists, outright stealing many peoples' money, releasing a broken mess of a game with conspicuously-functional "micro"transactions, and silencing people who spoke out about them. Valve took action and took the game off the Steam store until the developers made some changes. People were rightfully pissed and the game's infamy after the fact helped keep people from buying the game.
And now, it's not only the Steam daily deal, but it's at the top spot on the "Top Sellers" tab.
I mean, pardon my French, but this is, as The Nerd would put it, a shitload of fuck. Why are people buying this game? Why are people supporting these scam artists? For fuck's sake, they should be paying you to take the damn game, not charging for it! I get that infamous games see a lot of sales because of morbid curiosity (Look at Bad Rats: The Rats Revenge) but there's got to be a line. Even if people are buying it as gag gifts or out of morbid curiosity, the scumbags who made the game are getting money. The people who are buying this atrocity are supporting a group of individuals who have no problem lying to their customers, insulting their customers, scamming their customers, and giving a shitty product to their customers. And that's just wrong.
I mean, if you want a zombie game, don't buy War Z. Instead, go buy Left 4 Dead 2. Sure, Valve aren't saints themselves, though they're certainly a hell of a lot better than Hammerpoint Interactive, the developers of War Z.
People piss me off sometimes.
