Doesn't surprise me. DayZ practically sat at the top of Steam's Best Selling list throughout the entire winter sale. I'll probably pick it up myself when it's a bit more updated.
Since its a beta, it is probably people buy it now before it becomes a full release and goes up in price.

[QUOTE=Boilrig;43440728]Since its a beta, it is probably people buy it now before it becomes a full release and goes up in price.[/QUOTE] It's already fuckin $30, are they really going to raise the price?

[QUOTE=mon_ons;43444034]It's already fuckin $30, are they really going to raise the price?[/QUOTE] I heard they're gonna bump it up once it's fully released.
I just hope he allows people to mod the game when hes done. There are some good mods for dayz on the ARMA II dayz mod

Jesus. 24 million made in early alpha. That's impressive.
I'm amazed that so many "indie" titles are making it big now
800,000 sales yet the player count caps at 50k... makes you wonder how many people actually play it
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;43445838]800,000 sales yet the player count caps at 50k... makes you wonder how many people actually play it[/QUOTE] You do know some people buy into alphas because it's cheaper right? Also I remember rocket said he was going to sell it for $20.00 in a livestream once.. So much for that. Also with all that money why can't they get more help? Hopefully now they will.

Hopefully now they will.[/QUOTE] Those early price indications were made before the fleshed out the scope of the game. Plus Rocket isn't some kind of expert on how to price games, Bohemia has people for that.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;43445838]800,000 sales yet the player count caps at 50k... makes you wonder how many people actually play it[/QUOTE] I bought it with no intention to actively play it yet, just as more of an investment. Chances are the price will go up later on.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;43445140]even if he didn't want modders there's no way in hell he could stop them. arma 2's engine is hella moddable.[/QUOTE] Nvm I just saw the roadmap for Dayz and it includes support of user mods. All I honestly wanted to see in the stand alone
[QUOTE=Saintsin;43456285]Nvm I just saw the roadmap for Dayz and it includes support of user mods. All I honestly wanted to see in the stand alone[/QUOTE] He started as a modder. It would be incredibly deuchy (although not impossible) for him to not allow modding on the game he started as a mod running on an extremely moddable engine.
