According to Bohemia Interactive CEO Marek Spanel’s Tumblr, the recent Alpha launch of Day Z has been rather successful, with 172,000 copies sold so far.
Despite warnings of ”serious issues and possible interruptions of game functioning” from the developers due to the Alpha game version, it seems players still can’t get enough of running away from zombies, shooting fellow survivors in the back and eating tins of baked beans in the dark.
DayZ’s Alpha was released on Steam Early Access and Bohemia’s website on Monday. According to the developers it is unlikely to enter Beta stage within a year.
