Project Zomboid is a zombie RPG type game that I posted about in the forums several months ago.

They’ve had issues before where a pirated copy of the game was draining their bandwidth every time a player clicked “update” on their cracked copy. One can argue the lost revenue of a pirated copy, but the additional bandwidth was directly costing them money and they had to take the game down.

The worst had yet to come it appears as their apartment was broken into last night and both laptops that were the development rigs were stolen and it appears that there was no offsite backup. This will be a major setback in the development of the game and could possibly spell the end of the project.

Stay tuned to out blog and to the Project Zomboid site for more updates.
