Rocket Leaving BI and DayZ. "I feel like DayZ is a fundamentally flawed concept"

[BrockSamson]

Wow. Announces he will be leaving. The game is 'fundamentally flawed', yeah a zombie game without working zombies is a pretty big flaw.

I can't believe he will be leaving the game before his concept in fleshed out. Really shitty and lazy if you ask me. I am all for making a name for yourself and reaching your ultimate dream but BI gave him the opportunity and the tools and he is bailing. Very lame.

DayZ creator Dean "Rocket" Hall will leave developer Bohemia this year - GameSpot

Furthermore, throwing BI under the bus by saying 'I am out of here as soon as possible, oh and the mechanics will never work and the game is fundamentally broken.' is a crap move as well.

Rocket just proved to me that he is a complete fucking douche. I always thought it now I am certain of it.

Ya make shit too complicated and it isn't gonna work. There was/is no need for all this extra mechanics the SA released. All he had to due was update the graphics, tweak the map, maybe add in some new guns/vehicles and ship it out.

Yup and he should have done so well over a year ago.

Such a pity, especially after all the promises made. I haven't actually read the article yet, but will at some point today, is BI still going to contribute to bringing the game past alpha or is it done done?

That's pretty messed up to put a game on steam early access, get everyone's money but promising a full game, and then bouncing after the first wave of sales

Leaves the impression that he (Rocket) was getting in the way and that BI will be able to push forward at a better pace to finish it, but he still threw out that 'Its broken' comment that really is a kick in the balls. My opinion is that it wasn't working out (mechanics, relationship with BI authority, development in general) and he is calling it quits and throwing the 'its me not you' thing out there to appease his own conscience.

Amazing how someone can make a name for themselves in the video game industry and never actually complete a video game.

Uh...he is leaving in early 2015 so?

From the article:

DayZ creator Dean "Rocket" Hall has said that he plans to step down as the head of the popular open-world survival game before the end of this year

Now, how stupid do all you feel about buying the SA alpha....fuck Rocket and the money he is running away with.
