They disabled multiplayer it's been over a year that they also claim to work on fixing multiplayer for the new animations/modelling systems stuff....moderators are abusive and the fan community bashes on people who are suspicious like me about this bad development and who have legitimate questions, then moderators join in with the fanbase and end up locking threads on steam and banning the poster for wondering what this incompetence is about...All this ban stuff is happening constantly on steam thankfully this isn't steam, It was a good game but people need to move on...These people are clueless about the direction of this game!
This game has been in development for over a decade, and in order to keep their cash cow giving milk, the devs only care about acquiring new users, and as many of those as possible. The game is utterly unoptimized because they'd rather pocket more money with flashy graphics for new users than fix problems for people who have already given them their money years ago. Originally the devs swore they always kept people with lower end systems in mind, but they now gaily tack new bells and whistles onto the game which increase the necessary specs without bothering to fix old bugs, balance systems, or optimize the game to run at anything but a stuttering crawl on lower-end machines.
To make matters worse, the game here on GOG is effectively crippled. We've paid the same thing they did on Steam, but we get no access to mods (including the ones put out by the devs), can't cross-play with Steam players, and can't easily upgrade our versions without re-downloading the game all over again every few months. It shows a complete disregard for GOG users to the point of the devs recommending you only buy the game on Steam -- but they're still happy to pocket your money and walk away whistling if you buy it here.

Project Zomboid is a hyper realistic zombie survival game. THE hyper realistic zombie survival game.
It is very detailed, from picking shrapnel out of your own arm, to replacing your bandages, to being cold or hot depending on your clothing, to realistic sightlines.
Zomboid has been in development for a LONG time and unlike many other long standing early access games has grown massively over time. Growing from a small simple tutorial story into a very detailed expansive game. While at one point it was essentially killed by piracy it has managed to bounce back in a major way. I can't wait to see how much further it grows
This game is really good but if you happen to buy the GOG version without realizing there's better mod support on Steam, (i only realized nearly a year later that it had Workshop support, so I can't get a refund...) you may not get nearly as much mileage out of it.
At the very least, you can get a lot of enjoyment out of the vanilla game so i'd say it's still worth a purchase if you just want to play the game as intended. It just sucks that poor mod support is the caveat necessary for you to have a DRM free version of this game.
Opened the game up one day, after a long time, and was greeted with a mandatory license agreement. The only options are to agree or to quit. Agreeing involves agreeing that you do NOT own your game (why else would be buy on GoG?), and that the agreement can be unilaterally changed, with or without your permission. Your only option would be to never play the game again.
If this appeared when I bought the game, then I would have the chance to refund. Now, years after purchase, I don't agree. I don't agree that I don't own this game I bought. I don't agree that they can add whatever riders they want in the future.
I plan to play the game anyway. I plan to press "Agree", not because I agree, but because it is the only button that makes my property (yes, it is my property, as I do NOT agree that it is a license) work as advertised. Do with this information as you will, The Indie Stone.
