DayZ is starting to lose the survival-sim war

Players are starting to give up on DayZ, the multiplayer zombie survival sim that’s been in Early Access since Dec. 2013.

DayZ has sold over 3 million copies via Steam’s Early Access sales portal — despite the fact it’s still in an alpha testing state — but less than 9,000 players are now logging in at peak times. Just three months ago, that figure was closer to 30,000, and at its most popular DayZ had over 45,000 players concurrently logged in.
