Hell fucking yes.
Should petition to get this garbage taken off Steam.
And I thought I was going to buy this during the winter sale.
Well guess again War Z.
Wait were they banning people from steam entirely or just the game hub?

probably the game hub because users would of been posting their disappointment and criticisms
I hope they get run into the fucking ground
Constant mistakes and floods of blatant lies pretty much scamming people into buying this garbage then when people complain just ban them and pretend nothing happened
Looks like Valve did a bit of research, it has luckily been removed.
This whole fucking mess gets my blunder of the year award.
I can't remember the last time someone fucked up this badly...

They still dropped the ball by letting it happen in the first place so this is probably just them trying to save face.

This guy has to be joking.
[quote][b]Update:[/b] In response to Kotaku's request for comment, Valve issued the following statement:
From time to time a mistake can be made and one was made by prematurely issuing a copy of War Z for sale via Steam. We apologize for this and have temporary removed the sale offering of the title until we have time to work with the developer and have confidence in a new build. Those who purchase the game and wish to continue playing it via Steam may do so. [b]Those who purchased the title via Steam and are unhappy with what they received may seek a refund by creating a ticket at [url=https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php]our support site here.[/url][/b][/quote]

very likely to be a fanboy with his dick shoved so far up the dev's ass he can't even tell what a good game is anymore

Either a massive fanboy or one of those people with buyers remorse and can't face the fact that they just got fucked in the ass.

Either a developer or buyer's remorse.
Also, Sergey made a post on the official forums about it being taken down, but I can't see it because I'm IP banned despite never having gone to their forums before.

I am so late
Refunds are being offered now by Valve.
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;38893126][url]http://kotaku.com/5969836/the-war-z-removed-from-steam[/url][/QUOTE]
God damnit I want a refund
Sadly I bought it off their site before the game was on steam, turns out all the features and screenshots that got me excited weren't actually in the game at all
Well how about that..

AKA never. I wouldn't be surprised if the devs just shut down the game and run away as fast as they can.

[QUOTE]As you all know we launched the game on Steam yesterday. Okay - we're number one top grossing game on Steam right now - thank you guys for your support.
At the same time it was clear that there were a number of customers that felt that information about the game was presented in a way that could have allowed for multiple interpretations.
We've taken steps to correct this and format information presented on our Steam Store page in a way so it provides more clear information about game features that are present in the Foundation Release and what to expect in the coming weeks.
We also want to extend our apologies to all players who misread infromation about game features.
At the end of the day our goal is to serve our players as best as we can, and we love when you guys steer us into the right way of doing it !
Thank you for playing The War Z ! [/QUOTE]

Jesus fuck, he still doesn't have the balls to admit that the information was false to slow down the fall of the game.

I didn't really mean that to glorify them, they fucked up badly, but at least they removed it.
I can feel the WarZ wiki is going to get the biggest graffiti attack it will ever see
Did they just change the description to something that is still false?
