I am not sure I am happy about DayZ becoming a standalone game. As it stands now Rocket has total control to do whatever the hell he wants. If he decides to make it into its own thing then he will have publishers and investors on his back. Also if he is SELLING it, he will have to focus on retention of the player base and "compromising" with player complaints in order to maintain the standard his publishers are demanding. I think it would hurt the game. But these updates seem awesome. Nice read.

Airic was reading a statement made by Arma about them not being sell outs. I think Rocket is the type of person that won't sell out either. So I am not worried at all.
