Zombies and MMOs, two concepts that were outdated at least 10 years ago.

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.

I can't name any zombie mmos, nevermind a well made one.

And with this game, you still can't!

Doesn't mean that zombies aren't overdone AF.

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

Wait until you learn about MMOs and medieval fantasy…
