DayZ celebrates 10th anniversary with \u201csavage\u201d spoof of The Day Before\u2019s closure letter Bohemia InteractiveThe Day Before\u2019s launch has been nothing short of disastrous, and the studio\u2019s closure letter opened the door for DayZ to savagely celebrate its 10th anniversary. If you\u2019ve been following industry headlines recently, you\u2019ll have seen the commotion surrounding The Day Before. Numerous delays and a random trademark battle couldn\u2019t stop this game from hitting the top of Steam\u2019s wishlist charts. That all changed when the game\u2019s early access window started, with waves of players peeved at the final product. It all culminated with developer Fntastic announcing its shutdown days after The Day Before launched. On the other side of the gaming industry, DayZ turns 10, and Bohemia Interactive took the time to celebrate with a lighthearted spoof. DayZ 10th anniversary letter mirrors The Day Before\u2019s closure DayZ was released as a standalone mod back in 2012, but it captured so much success that its creators went on to convert it into a full title. Ten years later, it\u2019s still receiving content support, with the latest patch breaking its decade-long player count record. Conversely, Fntastic\u2019s The Day Before hasn\u2019t matched the hype it garnered, and the developers released a closure letter detailing its shutdown days after launch. It seems that Bohemia Interactive has seen the letter, as hours after the closure letter arrived, Bohemia released a thank you letter nearly identical to Fntastic\u2019s closure letter. The letter is all made better with its fantastic end signature of \u201cdead game\u201d crossed out. As mentioned, The Day Before peeved off tons of players. The shouts of \u201cscam game\u201d were through the roof during the lead-up to launch, and it only worsened when the game arrived. It got to the point where the developers released a statement telling players to stop labeling the game a scam. Fans loved the spoof, and plenty of replies congratulated the studio for the tenth anniversary and for savagely ripping The Day Before. Even the official Rust Twitter\/X account got in on the fun: As the news continues to pour out, don\u2019t be surprised if you see more teams adopt this template and make it their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
