The Dead Linger is a heaping pile shit and promises, neither of which do much for pleasing me. How could you compare a game that spawns an empty school on top of a house poking out of a hill with Project Zomboid. The Dead Linger is so far from functional, combat takes place down the road from your character as you flop like a helpless rubberband at what looks like lumps of very shiny clay. The fact is The Dead LInger isn't finished...it's not even started...and if the devs are worrying about a similar situation happening with their game. That's just ridiculous. Project Zomboid needs a little lovin', some polish, and hard work, to really shine and show people how amazing this game is. TL/DR: The Dead Linger is not buggy, it is not alpha, it is simply a shitty idea. Project Zomboid is buggy but is also a fully fleshed out alpha. People do know the difference and are not morons. That is why The Dead LInger is in the position it is.
