The Day Of Survival

Wow. Not sure if its just me but I can't get this title to even run on my machine. Lots of title like this from stream, I don't think its my PC. Anyway, the game start, runs very slow to startup, I set every thing to very low (graphics) then start the game. I see the character, but it jumps aaround the screen, the goes dark. The map in lower left is there but nothing else and the sound, it's like raining or static. That's it. Have to ctrl/alt/del to get our of it. So two thumbs down from me.

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "The Day Of Survival" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is an incredibly basic asset flip, little to no genuine effort went in here. It's just a bunch of stock Unreal Assets, post apocalyptic zombie survival ones (yawn), and of course a ridiculous price tag as once more an unethical developer tried to get YOUR money for someone else's game assets. Never okay. So, "The Day Of Survival" is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "The Day Of Survival", and this kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more as a delusion of grandeur than anything else. This agreement includes questionable requirements that may attempt to revoke consumer law protections that gamers expect to have, which is also highly problematic. Developers must learn they are here to serve gamers, not control them. I had my cat walk over the keyboard while the EULA was displaying, which fixed that problem for me. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $6 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 8 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. I didn't have to pay for this, but I still feel like I got scammed.
