      lol it’s funny, all of the articles I see about this game mention that it’s a “Zombie MMO” in the title. Like, I get that it was suggested that it would be, but it’s objectively not.

        It still calls itself an MMO in its Steam description:

        The Day Before offers players a uniquely reimagined journey into post-apocalyptic open-world MMO survival set in the present day on the US East Coast following a deadly pandemic.

        In this particular instance the journalists are doing their job. It was advertised as an MMO. They could change it to “so-called zombie MMO” or something, but that wouldn’t be as neutral as the current title.

      It’s not an anything anymore. Devs just went under and the servers will be down once they don’t get paid. What a farce!!

      Disagree. People are still clamoring for such a game hence the crazy popularity of the day after. There has yet been a game that had done it better than dayz stand alone. Which took nearly a decade to actually get good. If a triple a studio actually did a zombie mmo right it would be hella popular. Shit if the day after devs could pivot their game to be what they said it would be people would come flocking back.

        Im with you on this, the issue I see is that to get a really big number of zombies, like for a proper “horde” to behave correctly would be a hell of a computing task. Especially when 20 players start throwing grenades into the middle.

        What decade? It’ll probably be 2030 before it’s playable no less “good” DayZ is a joke since the mod was abandoned for SA.

      Wrong, there are several popular MMO and Zombie games today. I would argue MMOs are due a for a comeback
