DayZ has already got a reputation for constantly having to deal with servers full of hackers, and it looks like things could see get worse with claims that the source code for the standalone game has been stolen from Bohemia.

An alleged hacker going by the alias “DevDomo” posted a variety of screenshots, alongside claims that they broken open Bohemia’s servers thanks to SQL injections.

In a statement to Rely on Horror, Bohemia acknowledged that they had “detected an attack” but that “the precise nature and scope of this attack is currently being extensively investigated”.

A debugging tool for the DayZ executable has also reportedly been released, which may lead to the development of further hacks and exploits.

DayZ lead Rocket has yet to make an official statement.

lel.

[Mooshi]

Why would anyone possibly want to steal the code from running simulator for?

[Modzy]

Well it's the perfect way to make a powerful hack to then sell. If it's made by someone who knows what they are doing it could seriously hinder the development of the game. Not to mention it's already negative popularity for being plagued with hacks already.

[Ethanololol]

What a shame.

[Murdoch]

If anyone was gonna be hacked it would be them.

[The Crazed Child]

Blame the script kiddies.

 

lol

[Recon-UK]

Pissing hell fire.

Didn't 'Rocket' leave?

They've made enough cash out of what is essentially a glorified alpha in my opinion, they've sold like 2 million copies on Steam!

 

I'm not saying I approve of the theft of their source code at all, it's just more that I don't care what happens to the game because I think it's shite. :lol:

DayZ was as thing once, then standalone became a fail now dayz is just old news. H1Z1 looks to be pretty decent, that's my next zombie survival game.

Why do you say Glorified Alpha like the claim it to be something else? when you first open up the game and on the Steam page for it it says "This Game is in Alpha stage"

[Humbug]

Maybe they can optimize it and give it back.

[Almercenary]

Might steal it and fix the bugs. Sorta a lel situation though

[JustTooDank]

Does this mean we may actually see a finished product?

Because they are selling it as is.

I'm not saying they shoudn't, or that they haven't informed customers properly as to what they are buying, just that they have made a large amount of money from a a phase of development that most studios keep locked away in house.

But it's peoples choice to buy it no one is forcing them too

Yes I know, I personally disapprove of the practice of opening up alphas to full price sale, it's just my opinion.
