UPDATED: “War Z” launched on Steam: Advertised with lies.
“The War Z” was launched today on Steam, it makes a few obvious errors by advertising the game with simple lies. Again it also doesn’t state anything about “War Z” being in Alpha or Beta, which add to the post I made a while ago about “War Z” skipping Alpha/Beta in favor for fooling players: Click here for the old article.
Here are some of the obvious lies on the Steam-Website of “War Z”:
-Screenshots are concept art and not ingame footage.
“you can also rent and create Public or Private Servers allocating spots for Friends or Clans.
[…]
Key Features:
[…]
Dedicated Public Servers as well as Private Servers”
“Up to 100 Players per Game Server”
“No Classes, No Levels, No Caps: Create your own survival campaign, gain experience points and spend it to learn dozen of available skills”

Everyone who plays the game knows that there are no private servers, that servers do not support up to 100 players and there are no “dozen of available skills” instead there are none. Zero. Null.
These are simply lies, and it’s sad to see that a company like Steam/Valve just blindly copies a feature list from the developers of this game without checking them.
This advertisment is flat out fraud.
!!!UPDATE!!!
Apparently pressure is mounting and “The War Z” has started to edit the Steam page. They have now added:
“Play with Friends: Hundreds of Servers to Play on and soon you will be able to create Public or Private Servers allocating spots for Friends or Clans”
They also removed the part where it said it had a skill system, and that there were a couple of maps available. They are still writing “Up to 100 Players” which turns out to be the half in reality… Let’s see “The War Z” backpaddle some more and remove ALL lies from their Steam description.
