Standalone DayZ Coming

This blog post announces plans for a standalone version of the DayZ zombie modification for Arma II, something that was first mentioned just a month ago. Here's word:
That’s right, this is actually happening - DayZ will be developed as a standalone game, with me as project lead, by Bohemia Interactive. This is the fairy-tale outcome for a mod that many would have said impossible four months ago.

Development and updates of the mod will continue in parallel with the development of the game, so anyone who is playing the mod now will be able to continue to do so. The project will follow the Minecraft development model; fast iterations with the community alpha available for a heavily discounted price.

I realize people will have many, many questions - but we wanted to let everyone know the announcement now. Over the coming weeks, these questions will be answered. The game will have it’s own site, www.dayzgame.com and the mod will continue at it’s present link.

This is great news. DayZ is one of the most refreshing games to come along in a long time. It's also one of my favorite mods since Pirates Vikings and Knights II(which is long dead). Glad to see a full game is being made out of this. Things can only go up from here.

PS. How is this milking or anything? Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, Dota all started off as mods made into full fledged games. Can someone explain the logic of how this is any different?
