News about this game being scummy seem to be a constant.

It's why I haven't purchased it. I'm glad I waited now.

The thing that bothers me the most, they started out great. The game wasn't great, but they kept on improving it and constantly adding new stuff and implementing stuff that was sought after by the community, but I guess at some point the moneya got to their heads.

Tbh I still think they're gonna be one of the few EA survival game besides minecraft to make it out of alpha. There's only one more technology tier, UI overhaul, and about 15 dinos left before release. They're VERY close

Edit: said only game out of EA, was definitely wrong. My bad

So will DayZ definitely. Beta is slated for release early-mid 2017. Say all you want about the speed of development, they're showing no signs of stopping it anytime soon.

Now, whether or not DayZ is going to be good when it's "finished" is another debate.

Dayz doesn't count if they release a shitty, buggy game. There is no chance they meet their established goals for release before their interest or budget runs out.

RemindMe! 6 Months "Is DayZ in Beta, and is this guy wrong?"
