    By now, you’ve probably heard of the fiasco surrounding War Z. Not to be confused with the Day-Z mod, which is actually a pretty good game, War Z is a rip-off of it and made itself famous by falsely advertising itself on top of that, tearing apart their customers, and lying straight through their teeth....
