Dean "Rocket" Hall, the creator of DayZ, has called for accountability for Early Access and Kickstarter backed games, and has suggested that both the media and gamers will need to be involved if we are to achieve it.
"If we want Early Access & Kickstarter to succeed as a method of funding games we NEED accountability. Media and gamers are huge part in this," he Tweeted.
The DayZ creator didn't elaborate on his thoughts, but given the recent furore surrounding Godus and The Stomping Land, it's clear that he thinks that the current system isn't quite up to scratch, and that developers who go back on promises need to be highlighted by both gamers and the media alike.
DayZ was funded largely thanks to the finances raised via Steam Early Access, where the zombie survival sim has proved incredibly popular. We're still waiting for the final version of the game to see release.
