H1Z1 Backlash by Grayson Perry


H1Z1 is a popular Battle Royale game that started the Battle Royale trend on YouTube and Twitch. It just recently surpassed 10 million players on Steam. Since its original release on steam, which was on January 15, 2015 as an early access title, it has gone through many changes and had major competition from PUBG and Fortnite. H1Z1 was incredibly popular, being the first of its kind years ago, but now faces being one of the most disliked Battle Royale games today. Recently, H1Z1 was made free to play, which caused much backlash from players who paid $10 to $20. So far, the developers have been silent about this and are not issuing out refunds. H1Z1 has also received negative reviews due to massive game changes. The developers have dramatically changed how the game works multiple times, which has caused frustration among players. Finally, H1Z1 developers hardly listen to the player opinions, and often make huge decisions without listening to the community first. Despite all of this, H1Z1 is still trying its best to maintain its current players and bring in new players as well. Adding new game modes, just as Fortnite does occasionally, and pushing constant updates to keep the game afloat. H1Z1 is not a bad game, or a boring game, but just as all game developers must do, they need to pay more attention to the community.
