Spanel revealed that the Czech studio has received less than 10 cents for each hour of live online gaming DayZ has tracked since the game went live over a decade ago

This is some business analytics bullshit metric.

Over 10 years? That's not bad. I have 1000 hours in some games and even if I knew that up front, I probably wouldn't pay $100 for them still.

Conversely, I have 3 hours in DayZ standalone and I bought it on release (though I had thousands in DayZ mod).
