A cash grab modeled after WarZ.. great

So you are a game studio looking to put out your first game ✔
You pick trending survival genre ✔

You model your game after WarZ... wait.

YouTube Video: WATCH! MAKE YOUR OWN CONCLUSION!

Granted this video might have been of an early release. By who gave the green light to model so much of the early build after WarZ? Did they see how much cash WarZ was raking in, so they build their entire game around that thought?

This is a survival game and there is a cash shop?!?!?
● Thankfully they have since changed this to cosmetic items only. Lets hope this change is permanent!

This brings up the question.. is Phosphor Games in any way related to Hammerpoint Interactive? Did Hammerpoint Interactive fund Phosphor Games in any way due to the stink surrounding their own brand? If not, who on earth would choose to inherit the mess that the War Z Controversy?

Marketplace - Any convenience items such as ammo, a handful of melee weapons, medical supplies, etc. can only be bought using in-game money that has been looted and can be found around the Nether world. Nether Gold (bought with real currency) can only purchase cosmetic items. We understand the frustrations of games that are pay2win.

(Source)[forums.infestationmmo.com] ergey Titov's response regarding Nether:

"nether executive production team had/have ( not sure now ) ties with OP Productions shareholders, so this is why game looks very similar when announced."

I personally think that it's evasive and tricky explanation. I assume that it's highly probable that Titov is executive producer of Nether. Game developement is similar, pricing is similar, game looks similar...

Direct Comparisons to WarZ[/h1]

● Same Shareholders as WarZ (W-T-F!!!)
● Same Assets (Models)
● Nether Gold Cash Grab
● Global Inventory (Isn’t this Counter Productive for a Survival Game?)
● Fast Travel between Waypoints (Isn’t this Counter Productive for a Survival Game?)
● Cashing in on DayZ Standalone before released
● DEVELOPERS OF THE MOBILE VERSION OF WARZ!!!! (Google Play Store Link)[play.google.com]
● Trademark holder of WarZ (Infestation) also owns Nether! (Link)[www.trademarkia.com]

This is how Nether was imagined.

Also just for the facts that wasnt "mobile WarZ" it was a game for the hit movie "World WarZ" or whatever it's name was

So I'm not getting my money back from this piece of garbage... am I? No chance of trading it out for Rust either? Awww man.

So I was deciding on buying Rust right? My friend told me to buy Nether instead. So i take a little trip to Google town and i go on there main page. First thing hitting me dead in the face... The same exact 3 purchase options... Chosen/Legendary, Believer/Pioneer, Watcher/Survivor.

After seeing that i then look what it offers... My eyes skipped everything and landed on Nether Gold... i closed the site immidiatly and googled "Is Nether WarZ 2.0?"

It very much is... I don't wanna see other people scammed like i was. PLEASE REMOVE THIS GAME!!!!

Got banned from the Nether group page for saying how obvious the game is like War Z. Listed many many things that are similar. In three seperate posts. Reason for ban: Please do not spam. lol

This was after one of the fanboys said these guys are nothing like War Z devs, they actually listen to negative feedback and don't ban people. This game and the devs are disgusting and shady.
