In case you have not heard, FNTASTIC, the developer behind The Day Before, announced its closure less than a week after launching its zombie game in Early Access.
To accompany the announcement, FNTASTIC posted a statement on X/Twitter that was oddly structured, which included in the end of an abridged timeline of FNTASTIC's history from stem to stern.
Not long after this statement was released, the developers behind DayZ and Rust decided to troll FNTASTIC. DayZ developer Bohemia Interactive was the first to troll FNTASTIC with a statement of them celebrating DayZ's 10th anniversary of its release in Early Access (even though it's not for another five days). Bohemia Interactive also took a few other jabs at FNTASTIC, including how the Early Access version of DayZ launched with melee.

The developer of Steam disaster The Day Before has insisted it really is shutting down after scepticism emerged online following what looked like an attempt to change the company name.
Earlier today, Fntastic revealed it was closing its doors just days after it launched The Day Before in Early Access. The developer claimed it "failed financially," and by that, it meant the game was refunded by roughly half those who bought and played it.

The Day Before developer Fntastic has shut down one week after the game’s Early Access launch, the company announced, citing the game’s financial failure as reason for the closure.
The saga of The Day Before has been quite a wild and winding tale. One, it seems, without a happy ending. Originally revealed back in 2021, developer Fntastic promised an ambitious open-world looter-shooter zombie MMO along the lines of something like The Division and impressive early “gameplay” trailers earned the project a large following on Steam. Then the delays came, with Fntastic sometimes offering odd excuses for why the game had to be pushed back, including unexplained trademark issues (an explanation they later walked back). Fans also began to pick apart the gameplay showcases we’d seen, accusing them of being mere mockups and not representative of an actual game.
