Dean Hall responded to Studio Wildcard’s move.

ARK: Survival Evolved‘s price went from thirty to sixty dollars recently, as it is going to step into retail on August 8 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Dean Hall, DayZ’s creator has responded on Twitter: „Just so we’re clear on my opinion: the price increase for Ark is ****ing OUTRAGEOUS. Ark: The game is nowhere near ready for that kind of price. It’s greed – pure and simple. It represents a huge disconnect with the community. It is nowhere near close, which is my issue. It’s very buggy. I think it is representative of a very bad disconnect. I’m a huge fan of the game, but this is just too far and sets a terrible precedent. If you want to charge an AAA price, have an AAA state.” When people on Twitter brought up his game, all he said that it’s just a strawman argument against him.

Is Dean Hall simply jealous of ARK’s success, or is he afraid of it flopping due to its price? You’ll be the one to judge.

Just so we’re clear on my opinion: the price increase for Ark is ****ing OUTRAGEOUS.

Have you ever heard of a Strawman Argument?

— Dean Hall (@rocket2guns) July 6, 2017

Your argument is a strawman – attack the person making the statement and not the argument itself. Nice one.
