War Z Has Sold Almost 3 Million Copies
-----------Despite its controversial launch the game sees millions in sales.
PC zombie game War Z, now known as Infestation: Survivor Stories has sold nearly 3 million copies to date.
Executive producer Sergey Titov revealed that the game has sold 2.8 million copies so far. He also says that this is "no small achievement" due to the game having a "shoestring" budget and only being worked on by a small, independent team.
Titov also revealed that more than half of the game's 2.8 million players have spent over 50 hours playing the game. Some have even played for 1,000 hours, he said.
He says that the decision to call it The War Z was a "terrible choice."
"We made a big mistake in not listening to the vocal minority of our community who thought the name was terrible," Titov said. "Handling our community communications differently would have alerted us to the major mistake we were making in choosing a name that was so close to our main competitor’s game."
Through it all, Titov says the studio's intentions were good.
"We were (and still are) fans of the genre and wanted to create a game that addressed the problems many had with DayZ," he said. "If we had communicated more openly and effectively about it all, we may have been able to show the gaming public that we weren't cloning, but expounding on a genre that we wanted to explore ourselves."
