And bans I guess are true? I heard they banned a load of hackers recently. What specifically are you asking about?
Hackers would be the wrong word. Baiting items in "inaccessible" place isn't an anti-hack. Nor banning people that they know "would buy the game again if they get banned".
I can go on on the list of what's wrong in the game : game being accessible the first day of Alpha by both Alpha and Beta testers, the stealth system, the AI, the rendering system, the unique items given by devs, payment for clans, mod of WarInc (false ad), servers capacity, etc.
And of what's wrong outside of it : false advertisement, blatant lying, no communication at all dev/community, censorship, abusive bans, insults the players, changement of what offers a package after selling it, and so on.
And I'm not even talking about some flaws of the gameplay, which would have been acceptable.
Do you have any proof they banned anyone but hackers though? I mean I don't have any proof otherwise, but there was a few weeks there where the game was impossible to play because every server was riddled with hackers. There were A LOT of hackers. Putting items in inaccessable places is somethign they only started doing like a day or two ago with the recent patch, and they have other anti-hacking methods in place.
What's wrong with the game being accessable the first day of alpha by testers? I don't remember anyone with a beta access account being able to play, and I know a few people who had those?
Stealth sytem, AI, rendering, server capacity, etc: the game is still in development." That they didn't mention it on steam doesn't change the fact that the game isn't done yet. It's like how Minecraft wasn't done but kept letting people pay money for it (and then said "we're done!" held a massive convention to celebrate it, arbitrarily raised the price, and still wasn't finished).
The devs do comunicate with the community. I mean you say they insult players, how can they do that without communicating with them? Sure they're kinda shit at it, but they do release patch notes, talk about what they're working on, what should be in the game soon, why some features didn't make recent patches, etc. You'd have to be willfully ignorant to think theres no developer/community communication.
Though not saying the game is in beta or alpha or whatever is pretty stupid
That's basically what they did the whole time. Vaporware.

You don't know what the word vapourware means... :S
The devs have always said the game was in early development. The only time they have fucked that up is when they put it on steam, and I thought I read somewhere they fixed that now? Either way they've definatly not been doing it "the whole time."
You very obviously don't like the game, and that's cool. But you're also being very obviously kind of biased in the way you look at it. The game has problems sure, but I've had enough fun to warrent whatever it was I paid for it a few months back. So have my friends. If they improve on it from here on I'll be even more happy.
And once again I can't help mentioning that other games do this stuff, but they aren't DayZ-genre entries. The perception that this game "Ripped off" DayZ seems to be colouring peoples perceptions of it hugely, and things they'd happily accept from other companies and developers are suddenly huge warning signs that this is a scam or vaporware (note: you don't get to play vaporware. Vaporware doesn't mean "a game I don't like" or "a game in development")
